Description

Cardinals fans, this is the kind of piece that belongs in a Louisville sports shrine.

Up for auction is a pair of authentic game-worn basketball shoes worn by Stephen Van Treese during the Louisville Cardinals’ unforgettable 2013 NCAA Championship run. These shoes feature Louisville team colors in gray, red, and black, with jersey number “45” displayed on the sides and heavy on-court styling throughout. Interior tag indicates a men’s size 15.

Even better, tucked inside the shoes is a signed handwritten note from Stephen Van Treese himself reading:
“2013 Natty Champs” and “GO CARDS!!!”

The shoes themselves are not signed, but the included autographed note creates a fantastic display pairing and a direct connection to one of the greatest seasons in Louisville basketball history.

Visible wear and outsole use are consistent with legitimate game use, giving these shoes the kind of authenticity collectors chase. This is not just footwear — it’s hardwood history from a championship season that still gives Louisville fans goosebumps.

Most importantly, every bid helps support the Animal Care Society of Louisville. Legacy Louisville profits zero from this charity auction, so your bids directly help provide care, shelter, and second chances for animals in need. Bid like it’s the final minute at the Georgia Dome.

Kentucky’s First No-Kill Shelter

Founded in 1984, Animal Care Society (ACS) offers second chances to dogs and cats. ACS speaks for the voiceless and provides better lives to the neglected, abused, senior pets, and pets with medical needs — leading by example in our ongoing work. Animal Care Society is a pillar in the community and remains steadfast in our mission to provide new, safe, and loving homes for animals in need.  Legacy Home & Estate Services donates all proceeds to the charities we support.  Are you proud to support an auction house that isn't trying to profit off a community and cares about making our community a better place?  We are proud of you for supporting our charitable efforts.
