How much would a pair of adidas avanti track spikes be worth? I was just cleaning out the basement of my house that was built before 1910 and there was a box full of old track merchandise. These adidas avanti's have never been worn, spikeplate shows no wear.
Or does anyone know anything about the shoes?
There was also a pair of old nike sprint spikes in that same box and they are made in the united states. inside swoosh is shiny red outside swoosh is blue. thanks for your help.
the first adidas track spike was made in 1926. their first spike with a plastic spike plate in 1957. the "avanti" is vaguely familiar, i would guess made in the early 60's along with the training shoe the "roma". i believe they were made following the rome olympics.
the nike shoe was made in the early 1980's. the first nikes with the alternate colored swooshes were made for the athletics west team, then nike followed with a promotional series spike for nike athletes, none were for sale. if you look at the label on this spike you will see "made in the united states". most likely made by jeff johnson's crew in the exeter, new hampshire factory or in saco, maine.
further questions, email me.
