New Usain Bolt-signed kicks for admirer
A framed pair of Usain Bolt’s running shoes bearing his signature were stolen from a fan in the U.K. in April, and after the legend found out, he signed and sent a brand new pair straight to London via Fedex. The Puma cleats — which Bolt wore in his 2009 record-setting 100m dash — were taken from an industrial site in Croydon between April 26-28, Scotland Yard told the BBC.

They were won at a Sotheby’s auction in Nov. 2012, according to news reports. “I know u love me...but please why u had to go stealing that signed Usain Bolt spikes in Croydon, England..I know u going to return it. Right?” Bolt tweeted on Tuesday. Whi le the original kicks haven’t yet turned up, Bolt was shaming the thieves on Twitter, and then later tweeted, “Only natural I sign sum spikes after one of my overly excited fan stole that one..FedEx straight to London later.”.
