Offered here is a pair of Dan Issel game-worn low-top sneakers from the late 1970's. The standout center/power forward who played under Adolph Rupp at the University of Kentucky had a 16-year career in the ABA and NBA (1970-85) mostly with the Denver Nuggets averaging 22.6 points and 9 rebounds per game. He made 6 All-Star teams and won an ABA title in 1975 with the Kentucky Colonels. He later coached in two different stints with the Nuggets. Issel was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 1993. The size 15 white Converse All-Stars have "ISSEL" branded on the right shoe (faded away on the left) with the red Converse logo. They show tremendous wear inside and out perhaps a little too much as the left shoe has a significant 2" hole below the Converse logo. The laces are present and appear to be the originals.
Includes Letter of Provenance from collector Bruce Tennen.
