words by Steve Jaconetta
Have you always wanted to get your best/favorite pair of sneakers signed but never knew how it would ever become possible? Well, here's your lucky day!
Sole Collector has teamed up with Upper Deck to give you (the people) an exclusive chance to have some of your best sneakers signed by your favorite athletes!New dates posted below, but hurry, time is limited and only a certain # of signing spots are available!
Pricing is per signature. At this time, NO PAIRS being accepted, ONLY A SINGLE SHOE from the pair will be signed, this is per the athlete's terms. Theseprices may change at anytime without notice. Here is a list of all current available athletes:
Michael Jordan: $1,000 : Shoes must be received by August 17th!
LeBron James: $800 : Shoes must be received by August 17th!
Kobe Bryant: $800 : Shoes must be received by August 17th!

Tiger Woods: Please fill out the form and we will get back to you with more info!
Dwyane Wade: Coming Soon!
Kevin Garnett: Coming Soon!
If you don't see an athlete's name, then no signing is currently available. But if you have a request for a different athlete just hit us up andwe'll get in touch with Upper Deck and see what we can do for you.
The athletes will only sign their own shoes (Jordan on Jordans, Kobe on Kobes, Lebron on Lebrons, etc). The right shoe is the best shoe to be signed fordisplay purposes (you can have either signed, but Upper Deck recommends the right shoe), and will only sign their name.
Getting your kicks signed is something very few people get to do - and to have the signature authenticated ensures your item is legit. I've bought a fewpairs of signed shoes and they came with a document from the NBA stating the shoes were from one of their auctions… but I really never knew if they were thereal thing as anyone could create some letterhead. With the Upper Deck program you don't have to worry about that.
SC owner Steve had two shoes signed through this program; OG Air Jordan I Lows and OG Air Jordan V PEs and they came back perfect.
