It’s the end of an era.
After his “worst” season as a pro (I say worst figuratively), former Oklahoma State kicker Dan Bailey has officially retired his 2007 Nike Vapor Spikes. By the time he replaced them, the shoes were being held together by super glue and duct tape.
But he first put them on in 2009 during his junior season at Oklahoma State. Those shoes helped Bailey hit 40 of 49 field goals and 114 of 116 extra points.
However I don’t ever remember a kick Bailey made with those shoes as big or important as the one against Texas A&M in 2010.
