Michael and Tito Jackson Boots from Victory Tour

The Victory Tour concerts were the last live performances by all of The Jacksons. The tour started in summer of1984 and ended in December of the same year; it included 55 concerts performed to around two million fans. At the time it was the most successful tour of any solo artist or group. Tito and Michael Jackson wore these two individual brown leather boots during the rehearsal for that tour. The left pair is marked "Tito" in black marker on the bottom sole and on the inner mesh lining. Stamped in black on the inner leather seam is A-31718-10. The inner shoe lining shows considerable wear, to the point that the gold-tone writing is no longer legible. The right pair is marked "Michael" in black marker on the bottom sole, there is a barely visible stamp on the sole "Made in Spain," and the markings on the inner shoe lining are partially visible as "Dino Fr.....Boot Makers Made in Spain." The leather on Michael's boot is of a slightly coarser grain, and a different dye lot than that of Tito's. The boots are ankle-cut, square-toed, dark brown leather, zippered, with black stitching. Both shoes show considerable wear to the soles. Tito length: 11 1/4, Michael length: 11.
