Did Michael Johnsons Gold shoes have real gold in them?

Question

the gold shoes he wore at the 1996 atlanta olympics

Answer 1

Johnson entered the Olympic finals donning a custom-designed pair of gold-colored Nike racing spikes made with Zytel, causing him to be nicknamed "The Man With the Golden Shoes." Sources differ on the exact weight of these shoes; the manufacturer of the spikes claims they weighed 3 ounces (85 g) each

Answer 2

lol

Answer 3

idk but id love to find out, good question

Answer 4

I am pretty sure that it didnt have gold just because it will put more weight than need it in his legs. Thats why track and field athletes are always looking for the lightest shoes, to make an easier/smoother/faster race.
