A Pair of Rafael Nadal Game-Used Custom Nike Tennis Shoes. 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. (Men’s Singles Gold Medalist).

A Pair of Rafael Nadal Game-Used Custom Nike Tennis Shoes from the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.  These shoes were custom made for Rafa for use at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games where he went on to claim the Gold Medal in Men’s Singles.  These shoes were a part of Rafa’s original equipment during the Olympics, and were used during the event.  These were not Rafa’s on-court style.  Rafa was provided with different styles for different purposes (on-court, medal podium, opening and closing ceremonies, media events, etc).  These shoes were worn by Rafa off-court during the tournament.  Upon close inspection, you will come to find the following signs of use throughout this item:  Some very light dirtying of the soles is present, but nothing significant as these were worn behind the scenes at the 2008 Beijing Games.  The shoes remain in excellent condition.  They have the look of a shoe that was lightly worn on fairly clean surfaces for a few days.  No structural damage can be found.
