These Adidas Superstar green suede shoes were game-worn by Celtics legendary small forward John Havlicek in the mid-late 1970's as he closed out his Hall of Fame career. With 13 All-Star appearances and 8 NBA titles "Hondo" was an easy selection as one of the NBA's 50 Greatest Players. His #17 was retired in 1984 at the Boston Garden and he will forever be one of the greatest and most popular Celtics to ever wear the green and white.
Coming in size 14 the classic low-top sneakers exhibit excellent game use yet present essentially problem-free right down to the nap of the notoriously finicky suede leather. The white shoestrings remain intact and show light green staining from the suede. There is virtually no sign of fraying of the stitching around any of the white Adidas stripes or the support areas around the heel. The Adidas Superstar logo on each tongue is heavily faded. The leather heel is somewhat creased from heavy wear and storage. "14 0714 12" is stamped in white on the interior. The insole remains intact although severely hardened from sweat and age. A perfect 10/10 Havlicek autograph appears along the outside right heel. The shoes originated from Havlicek's personal collection which first hit the auction block in SCP Auctions' 2013 Spring Premier.
