Adidas Black Kendall Cross Adistar Wrestling Shoes

  • SOLD
  • Size 11.5
  • Black Colorway with Gold Kendall Cross Signature and White Stripes
  • Great shape. No major flaws.
  • Minor flaws include small chip on right shoe’s heel as pictured. The soles have some wear, but are overall still solid.
  • It looks like a previous owner may have added some shoe goo to the back of the front pad. I may do the same to the other. Stitches in the pad are not undone yet but this should be done to prevent a blow out.
  • These seem to fit small. They fit me perfectly at 10.5-11.

A Little About These Shoes

In the wrestling world, it’s only right that any Olympic champ from the United States gets their signature on the side of a shoe. The case is no different for Kendall Cross! A 1996 Olympic Champion known for defeating Terry Brands to qualify the weight, Kendall led the United States to a gold medal at the ’96 Olympics in Atlanta Georgia.

After the former Oklahoma State NCAA champ went on to win an Olympic title in a pair of White Adidas Adistars (now known as Pearl Kendalls), Adidas Released the black pair as his signature shoe.  These shoes are extremely rare. Even Kendall has a tough time finding a pair nowadays!
