In 2000, the 49ers managed to win only six games. However, Owens had a record-breaking day on December 17, 2000 with 20 catches for 283 yards in a 17-0 49ers win over the Chicago Bears. The record-breaking 20 receptions surpassed a 50-year-old mark held by Tom Fears (it has since been surpassed by Brandon Marshall, who made 21 receptions in a game in 2009). Owens finished the year with 1,451 receiving yards and thirteen touchdowns.
These are Terrell Owens game-issued cleats from his time with the San Francisco 49ers in 2000. Nike Zoom Air cleats sport a red, white and black colorway. Interior tagging reports a size “15” and correct coding. There are no cleats (grippers) on the bottom.

Interestingly, it was an item that came directly from the famous purchase of Terrell Owen’s Storage unit as reported by TMZ. Overall, it is a great NFL collectible by itself but since it came out of the unit with the provenance of being owned and worn by Owens it makes it that more special.
A copy of the original purchase receipt will add proof and provenance.
