Spencer Dinwiddie was taken by the Detroit Pistons with the 38th overall pick in the 2014 draft, and the versatile guard out of the University of Colorado has certainly overachieved from that standpoint. Now playing second fiddle to Luka Doncic with the Mavericks, Dinwiddie proved his worth during a five-year run in Brooklyn where he helped lead the Nets to the playoffs two years in a row before the arrival of KD, averaging 20.6 points and 6.8 assists per game in 2019-20. Presented here are a pair of Dinwiddie's game worn shoes from that season photomatched to multiple games in December.
The 6' 5" playmaker created his own brand of sneakers called K8iros (he wore #8 with Pistons and Nets). He sported these purple "Mark II" style PE's during a home matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves on 12/30/19 in which he recorded 36 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds. We found a few other games earlier that month in which he wore this same all-purple style with apparent matches to 12/1/19 (image posted) and 12/28/19 as well. Internal tagging indicates a Nov. '19 ("11/19") manufacturing date. The size 13 shoes remains in excellent condition with obvious wear. The white chipping on the edges of the soles was used for the photomatches. "12/30@MIN" has been penned on the soles of each sneaker denoting when they were worn. MeiGray has authenticated the shoes and they are accompanied by a full letter of authentication.
