At the age of just 13, Jennifer Capriati took the professional tennis world - and the entire sports world - by storm. A couple of short years later she was capturing gold at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, and these are her actual signed sneakers from her Gold Medal-winning match. Tremendous use displayed as they are practically coated with clay from the court and heavy wear in general including some cracking and loss of sole on her Diadora footwear; unfortunate but not uncommon with this type of sneakers as they often dried out and cracked with age. Perhaps at no time did her star shine brighter than at those '92 games, in which she defeated Arantxa Sanchez Vacario in the semis before ousting top seeded Steffi Graf to earn the top step on the medal podium. Both signed beautifully, Photo-matched to Getty 831455440.
