Bob Marley Shoes-Bob Marley Stage Worn Shoes Nagaril Damaca Concert 9-1-78: These rasta shoes, worn by Bob Marley in his concert on April 22, 1978, hold immense historical significance.

The vibrant colors and unique Rastafarian design of these shoes not only reflect Marley’s musical style but also his cultural identity. Preserved in their original condition, these stage-worn shoes provide a tangible link to the iconic musician and the unforgettable performance he delivered on that memorable night.  They are a size 10, which is a shoe size for Bob Marley and the shoes are hand-made in Thailand.

The night of the One Love Concert, our seller was situated at the foot of the stage with an oversized Cheech and Chong-style marijuana doobie.  He gladly offered the doobie up to Mr. Marley as he walked up on stage. When the artist, Marley, saw the massiveness of the joint being offered to him, he accepted it and, in return, kicked off his shoes and handed them to our front-row fan.  Certainly, the smoke was thick and the intensity of the energy and whatever else may have wafting in the air, may have an affect on anyone’s recollection, however, the certainty of our seller being front row and present and Bob Marley handing these shoes to him are undisputable.  He has kept these Rasta Bob Marley Shoes as a warm and fond memory of that iconic night.  A notarized letter will accompany these Bob Marley Reggae shoes.  A personal account of the night will be detailed in the letter.  We have known the seller for 0ver 20 years and can confirm his credibility is unshakeable.
