The average sneaker fan probably knows little about former Pittsburgh Pirate Robert Clemente beyond his untimely demise in a plane crash on New Year’s Eve 1972. Clemente was an outfielder for the Pirates for his entire 18-year career and won the NL MVP in 1966. His prolific stat line included 3,000 hits, a .317 batting average and 240 home runs. This short bio shows why Smooth Tip Productions created the Nike Dunk customs pictured here.
The black/yellow colorway used by Smooth Tip matches the uniform color of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Pirates logo is placed on the left heel along with Clemente’s number 21. An amazing portrait of Clemente taken from one of his collector’s cards sits next to the player’s signature on the right heel. This sneaker is the perfect tribute to a player that was dedicated to the game and his community.
