Sneakers are well worn with "U.S. Olympics" tag in the tongues, the pants are tagged "Made Exclusively For USA 1980 Olympic Team by Levi Strauss & Co." with additional 42x32 flag tag.

Each will come with signed Letter of Authenticity and Provenance from Jim Craig, himself. Estimate: $15,000-25,000.
