Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger had the best season of his career in 2014. He led the NFL with 4952 yards passing (an average of 309.5 per game) and threw 32 touchdowns against only nine interceptions. In weeks 8 and 9 Big Ben threw an unfathomable six TD passes in each game--amassing 522 yards in the first one--to break the NFL record of a baker's dozen over a two-game stretch. Understandably the Steelers finished 11-5 to win the AFC North division. In association with his agency Rep 1 Sports Big Ben is offering his game-worn and dual-signed Nike Turf shoes from that 2014 campaign. In fact this particular pair has been style-matched to five different games: at Jacksonville (Oct. 5); vs. Houston (Oct. 20); at Tennessee (Nov. 17); vs. New Orleans (Nov. 30); and vs. Kansas City (Dec. 21). They also match the style to his 2nd monster 6-TD game on Nov. 2 but we already sold this exact pair in our Fall 2015 Auction for $4153. The exact game or games Big Ben wore this particular pair is not confirmed. Considering how the Steelers are known to recycle equipment even today it is very possible that Ben wore this pair in all three games mentioned after Nov. 2.
The size 14 Nike 'Lunar Superbad Pro' cleats display outstanding game use inside and out with grass stains and contact marks on the exterior and sweat staining on the insoles. Ben's uniform No. "7" has been penned in black on each shoe (likely by the team equipment manager) inward facing on the the back upper heel. The Nike interior tagging reads "SEASON SU14" and PROMO SAMPLE 20140718 confirming that they were player-issued only and not for public consumption. Mostly white with Sporting the Steelers colors of yellow and black on the front toe area both cleats have been signed on the outside by Big Ben in 7-8/10 black marker. He has added his uniform number 7 underneath each signature. Thanks to Big Ben's propensity to give back a portion of the proceeds will go directly towards The Ben Roethlisberger Foundation (http://bigben7.com/the-ben-roethlisberger-foundation) which supports K-9 units and service dogs of police and fire departments throughout the U.S.
Includes Letter of Authenticity from Ben Roethlisberger. Autographs pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
