PRESENTS...
VIN BAKER of the NEW YORKS KNICKS ACTUAL NIKE AIR MAX UPTEMPO SIZE 16! THESE SHOES WERE WORN AGAINST THE MIAMI HEAT ON 1/5/05!
I don't even know what to say about these sneakers!
They were worn by VIN BAKER when Baker was on THE NEW YORK KNICKS on
January 5, 2005 against the MIAMI HEAT in Miami! These sneakers were made especially
for him by NIKE for his away games. They are blue and white and still SMELL even a bit like
him too! The shoes themselves are in great condition since they were only used for one game.
Unfortunately, I don't have any photos from the game itself to show him
wearing them but I received them after the game as part of a promotion.
