Featured here is a pair of Nike cleats worn in college by Tennessee Titans quarterback, Marcus Mariota, during his outstanding 2014 season with the Oregon Ducks. Mariota's junior year would end up being his last before getting drafted number two overall in the 2015 NFL Draft. The Hawaiian threw for 4,454 yards and 42 touchdowns with just four interceptions to win the Heisman Trophy and took his team all the way to the National Title game where they fell to Ohio State. These game worn and autographed cleats were worn during the Ducks' opening season match-up against the University of South Dakota on August 30, 2014. Mariota threw three TD passes and ran for another to help the Ducks win big at home, 62-13.
The left and right cleats show solid game use with scattered contact marks throughout. They can be easily style-matched, if not photo-matched from game images online. Mariota's autograph is on the left shoe's swoosh logo in black 8/10 marker with the inscription "Game Worn '14 Heisman" noted on the right's Nike logo. Both cleats have his uniform number "8" written on the mid section. The size 12.5 cleats were sourced from an Oregon local directly from the team. Mariota's autograph and inscription are pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
