Custom Strikeout King 1 by Dank & Co. Limited to 34 pairs. The sunrise and navy star design pay homage to the nine seasons Nolan Ryan pitched for the Houston Astros. Throughout that time, Ryan threw his fifth no-hitter, became a two-time All-Star and owner of the top career ERA in Astros history.
On April 27th, 1983, Ryan became MLB's all-time strikeout leader and on July 11th, 1985, became the first pitcher in MLB history to reach the 4,000 K mark while playing for the Astros. These events inspired the "Strikeout King" wordmark and name of the sneaker.
Insole detail reflects the revolutionary AstroTurf seen for the first time in the Houston Astrodome, home to the Astros franchise from 1965-1999. Custom branding and tongue tags. Dank & Co. certificate of authenticity included.
