You can now own a piece of the New York Yankees' Mr. 3,000 by purchasing the Derek Jeter 10 Signature Shoe Trunk.
As most of you know, Derek Jeter is the first Yankee to have 3,000 hits. The MLB star released a series of Jordan Brand shoes to honor his achievement. Now the celebration continues with the Derek Jeter 10 Signature Shoe Trunk. The large chest consists of baseballs and several sneakers, all of which have been signed by the man himself. Only two have been made and one of them belongs to Jeter, so only one is available to purchase via auction. All of the proceeds will be going to the MLB star’s Turn 2 Foundation. The auction will continue until August 12, 2011 at Steiner Sports.
