JIMI HENDRIX Shoes To Go On Display In Toronto
August 19, 2010, 14 years ago
According to the CBC News, an exhibit of rock and roll memorabilia to be displayed at this year's Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto will include shoes once worn by JIMI HENDRIX and ROD STEWART among others.
All are from the private collection of Toronto podiatrist Dr. Hartley Miltchin, who has made collecting celebrity footwear a bit of an obsession.
Miltchin owns about 350 pairs of shoes once worn by celebrities and sports figures, including CHUBBY CHECKER's custom black-and-white checkered boots and a pair of Shaq O'Neal's size 23 Reeboks.
The CNE has asked him to loan the shoes with a rock 'n' roll pedigree for its exhibit The History Of Rock And Roll.
