Gregg Berhalter Wears Air Jordans During World Cup Match

Originally posted on FanNation Kicks | By Pat Benson | Last updated 12/3/22

Much to the chagrin of most of our readers, the Netherlands defeated the United States 3-1 earlier today. While it was not the results they had hoped for, the USMNT should be proud of making it to the round of 16 in the FIFA World Cup.

The team will be remembered for its gutsy performances and the progress made in making the United States a legitimate contender on the world stage. Of course, sneakerheads will remember just one man from the tournament.

Gregg Berhalter

USMNT coach Gregg Berhalter made sneaker history throughout the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The 49-year-old caught viewers' attention thanks to his relaxed sartorial style of t-shirts, joggers, and sneakers.

While the USMNT competed in Qatar, Berhalter developed a following of fans who kept up with what the coach wore on the pitch. Nike sponsors the team, so Berhalter wore a mix of rare and affordable sneakers from Nike and Jordan Brand.

Air Jordan 1 High 'Lost & Found'

During Saturday's match, Berhalter wore the Air Jordan 1 High in the 'Lost & Found' colorway. The shoes were released on November 19, 2022, for $180. According to StockX, the shoes now have an average resale price of $412.

The Air Jordan 1 was originally released in the 'Chicago' in 1985. The classic Bulls-inspired colorway has always been a fan favorite. But this time, the design team gave the old-school shoes a vintage look. The shoe features pre-yellowed accents and a cracked leather upper.

We will miss covering Berhalter and his sneakers during the World Cup, but our coverage of the entire sneaker world will continue. Stay locked in FanNationKicks.com and follow us on Twitter.
