Seen in FBDO
In Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Ferris’s sister, Jeanie, sports a pair of Nike Greco Supreme wrestling shoes. Her shoes are best seen at three different times throughout the film. First, at approximately 00:01:20 as Jeanie enters Ferris’s bedroom. Before we see her face for the first time, we see her shoes.

We get another good look at Jeanie’s shoes at 01:07:49 when she quietly approaches the kitchen in hopes of catching Ferris red-handed. As we know, she encounters Mr. Rooney instead and he gets an up-close look at Jeanie’s shoes himself.

Finally, just a few minutes later at 01:09:47 we see another good look at the side of Jeanie’s shoes as she is placing an emergency phone call to report the intruder (Mr. Rooney) in her house.

Finding This Item
Nailing down Jeanie’s exact shoe style has been a little more difficult than I’d originally expected. With several variations of the Nike Greco Supreme made available throughout the years, I was regularly coming up with shoes that were close, but not quite Jeanie’s. But randomly looking at the right time turned up an eBay listing that was spot on. A perfect match with Jeanie’s (clearly worn and slightly dirty) shoes!
