KangaROOS Walter Payton Limited Edition Collection

Having acquired the nickname “Sweetness” in college for his personality and athletic grace, Walter Payton is one of the greatest running backs in NFL History. Payton was named Player of the Year and MVP for the 1977 and 1985 seasons. In February 1999, Payton announced that he had a rare autoimmune liver disease known as primary sclerosing cholangitis and later passed away from complications from this disease. Payton’s name still lives on in his Walter & Connie Payton Foundation. KanaROOS has partnered up with the foundation to create a limited edition collection inspired by Walter Payton. Including styles including the Sweetness, Trap and Bleacher, these models are inspired by Payton’s one and only team, the Chicago Bears. The collection is now available at Finishline. Portions of all sales of the Walter Payton Collection will be donated by ROOS to the Walter & Connie Payton Foundation.

  2. I used to wear these when I was a kid. You couldn't stop me from asking my Mom for getting them for me.

    1. I remember growing up in Goshen Indiana and being a Bears fan. I went to St.louis to visit family and my grandma took to a Kangaroo store to buy me a pair of shoes. I remember walking in and seeing the Walter Paytons sitting on display and had to have them. I finally convinced her into buying them for me. I have never took care of a pair of shoes like i did them. I woudl actually come home every day after school and take them off and put them on a shelf and put on a old pair to go out and do my paper route in. I had them Shoes for 2 yrs until my mom left my dad and we moved to St.louis and the shoes were lost during the move. I am now 35 and I think I am going to see about getting me a pair of these to put away as a memory of my child hood and the Great WALTER PAYTON.
