COMMANDO (1985) - Pair of Arnold Schwarzenegger-Autographed Lt. Col. John Matrix HI-TEC "Sierra Sneakers" Biker Scout Base Boots - A pair of Lt. Col. John Matrix's (Arnold Schwarzenegger) HI-TEC "Sierra Sneakers" boots from Mark L. Lester's Commando autographed by Schwarzenegger. Matrix wore his signature boots while hunting down the assassins instructed by his former colleague Bennett (Vernon Wells) to kidnap Matrix's daughter Jenny (Alyssa Milano).

Though only offered by HI-TEC for a limited time in the late 1970s and early 1980s, "Sierra Sneakers" boots were iconically used as the base boot for the Biker Scout costumes seen in Richard Marquand's Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. Additionally, the same style of shoe was used for the UniSol costumes in Roland Emmerich's Universal Soldier.

These rare hiking boots (U.S. Size 12) feature a beige canvas outer lining with matching laces, two-tone metal rivets, and dense rubber soles. Both shoes are signed in black ink on their sides by Schwarzenegger. They exhibit scuffing, frayed canvas, and stray pen marks on their interiors from production wear, as well as a nail in the tread of one shoe.

Estimate: $800 - 1,600
