It’s hard to believe, but it’s been almost a year since nine-year-old UK fan Blake Hundley lost his battle with cancer; however, his friend Willie Cauley-Stein reminded us in a very meaningful way last week. On Thursday, Willie sported a pair of custom “Team Blake” Air Jordan I’s in Sacramento’s game vs. Minnesota. The shoes were designed and painted by Billy Hobbs from True Blue Customs, autographed by Willie after the game, and are now up for auction with all proceeds going to Kosair Children’s Hospital in Frankfort, where Hundley received treatment during his illness.
Included in the design are cancer awareness ribbons, the “Team Blake” insignia, as well as the dog tags that Willie gifted to Blake last season.
