Hyde & Unbranded
Vintage Mid-Century Leather Football Cleats and Spikes Lot
Size Mens (Varies/Not Marked)
Lot of 3 Pairs Included
This is a historically significant collection of three pairs of vintage mid-century athletic cleats, including one pair clearly identified as Hyde—the Massachusetts-based manufacturer renowned for supplying specialized footwear for professional athletes throughout the 20th century. These pieces showcase a variety of traction technologies used during the era, ranging from traditional metal spikes on heavy leather soles to early composite rubberized nubs. This lot serves as an excellent archival example of athletic equipment evolution from the 1940s through the early 1960s.
