A nine-year NFL veteran, the Patriots' Adam Vinatieri is the most celebrated kicker in Super Bowl history, helping New England to victory in three of the last four Super Bowls. Joining the Pats in 1996, Vinatieri is also one of the league's most accurate kickers, hitting 82% of the field goals he has attempted. These cleats are from the famous "Snow" game on January 19, 2002, when Vinatieri kicked a field goal in overtime against the Raiders to send New England to the AFC Championship Game. The "Reebok" name and logo are on the inside, outside and back counters of the shoes, and on the sole. On the inside top of the tongue is a manufacturers tag with the shoe size "8 ½" on it. Made in Italy, the Italian flag is also included with the "Reebok" branding on the back counter and on the sock lining of the shoes. On the outside upper middle of both shoes there is a dated autograph in blue marker rating a 9. The cleats show excellent game use and appear to have no alterations of any kind. The cleats are accompanied by a LOA from Jimmy Spence of PSA/DNA.
