Sealing the shoe’s legendary status, Sanders’ collegiate jersey number – “21” – is embroidered in orange and black on the heel.
Step after step, yard after yard, and touchdown after touchdown, the legend known as Big Bad Barry made the stands rumble on gameday – and his influence still holds true today.
