These black leather Converse All-Star baseball cleats are signed by 288-game-winner, Tommy John in bold silver Sharpie on the heels of both shoes with a “5/11/88” inscription. From the looks of them, it looks like John may have been wearing these beat up baseball shoes for the last decade of his 26-year career (1963-1989); a reinforced leather cap at the toe of the left shoe is cracked and dry-rotted while the original toe leather on the right shoe is frayed at the seams. Both shoe lace flaps contain Converse All-Star logo insignias. All six metal cleats are caked with pitcher’s mound clay; comes with full PSA/DNA letter of authenticity.
