This intriguing pair of Converse All-Star Chuck Taylor shoes clearly shows good game use it's just bewildering to imagine the circumstances of a game that might involve Bill Murray (aka Carl Spackler) he of considerable fame and fortune from the entertainment arena but also much renowned as a sports fan nonpareil with legendary affection for baseball basketball and football in general and the Chicago pro teams - most notably the Cubbies - in particular.
So Murray provided the game use (possibly in a celebrity game during NBA All-Star Weekend) and the autographing merriment for these classic size 10 1/2 Converse All Star shoes. On the right shoe the black Sharpie covers much of the outside panel: "Big Bill Give these to a prospect Little Bill Murray". On the outside of the left shoe: "Big Bill These smell funny I need another pair" signed "Bill Murray". Truly a mirthful mixing of sports entertainment from a beloved figure fictional or otherwise. Aside from the aforementioned game use the shoes appear to be in essentially as-issued and problem-free condition.
Comes with a Letter of Authenticity from shoe collector Bill Ficke.
Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
