In association with his agency, Rep 1 Sports, Ben Roethlisberger is offering his game-worn and dual-signed cleats from the Pittsburgh Steelers' September 29, 2013 game in London against the Minnesota Vikings. Big Ben threw for 383 yards (1 TD, 1 INT) in a 34-27 loss at Wembley Stadium. He finished the season with 4,261 passing yards and 28 touchdowns. Thanks to Big Ben's propensity to give back, a portion of the proceeds will go directly towards The Ben Roethlisberger Foundation (http://bigben7.com/the-ben-roethlisberger-foundation), which supports K-9 units and service dogs of police and fire departments throughout the U.S.
The white and yellow Nike 'Lunar Superbad Pro' cleats come in size 14 and exhibit excellent wear inside and out. Clumps of grass from Wembley are still stuck to the bottoms. Ben's uniform No. "7" has been penned in black on each shoe (likely by the team equipment manager), near the heel. Ben has autographed the outer toes of each in bold 8-9/10 black marker with his uniform number inscribed. The interior tagging reads “SEASON FA12” and “PROMO SAMPLE” confirming that these cleats were player-issued only. Original white laces and Nike insoles are present. Plenty of photo-matches available. What a thrill to be able to present these to the collecting community.
Includes Letter of Authenticity from Ben Roethlisberger.
