worn by Canadian athlete and amputee Terry Fox sold out within an hour of going on sale Wednesday, his foundation said.
The then-unknown freckle-faced 21-year-old from British Columbia had written to Adidas before setting off with two friends on his cross-country trek in 1980. But his journey from the Atlantic to Pacific coasts was cut short when the cancer that had claimed his right leg three years earlier returned and spread to his lungs, and he was forced to stop in Thunder Bay, Ontario.Foundation spokeswoman Martha McClew told AFP that Fox's older brother Fred Fox was among the thousands who hovered over their computers with a credit card in hand Wednesday, hoping to score a pair of the commemorative kicks amid the buying frenzy.
"It's just the way we've always done things. We don't think we're any different or any more special than anybody else," Fred Fox told public broadcaster CBC.The 40th anniversary shoes come with a copy of Fox's letter to Adidas, his quotes inscribed on the shoelaces and his name printed in gold.
