Description
Left Nike shoe in black and white with the “Air” logo on the heel. Though durability and hitting defined Tony Gwynn’s career, he also showcased speed, particularly in his prime. In 1987, he stole 56 bases, ranking fourth in Major League Baseball that season.
Over his 20 years in San Diego, Gwynn averaged 122 games per season, balancing consistency with a complete game that included occasional bursts of base-stealing prowess. This shoe reflects the equipment and style from an athlete who combined reliability with flashes of speed.
