Karl Malone Game-Worn Shoes Jazz w/ Signed Mini Basketball – COA BAS, JSA, Provenance TEAM-MATE & 100% Authentic Team

“The Mailman” delivered when the game was on the line. When he finally decided to call it a career, Karl Malone was second on the NBA’s all-time scoring list, trailing only Wilt Chamberlain.

This pair of custom high top Converse Jazz shoes served the Mailman when he was lighting up the NBA scoreboards on a nightly basis. Both shoes show great game use with wear on the outsoles as well as discoloration from age. Tagging on the inside shows they are size 15.  The “JAZZ” logo is embroidered on the sides and showcased on the heel. The Converse logo is on the tongue and on the bottom soles. They date to 1989-90 with photo style matches on Getty images.

The mini-basketball was autographed by Malone in black felt tip (“7”) there’s also an inscription added (unknown hand), “ONE on ONE CHAMP!” The inscription was added for the winner of the one-on-one contest that was held at the basketball camp.

Both items originate from an NBA source and were gifts to him from Karl Malone.
