Jolene's interpretation of one of sports' most famous photographs: Muhammad Ali drops Sonny Liston with a "phantom punch" less than two minutes into the first round. Boxing historians still debate whether or not he actually connected or if Liston took a fall when Clay successfully defended his World Heavyweight Title on May 25, 1965. Hand painted on Everlast white leather boots. Autographed by Muhammad Ali in black Sharpie on his 52nd birthday January 17, 1994.
