According to The Los Angeles Times, “FBI Special Agent William Bodziak matched 18 features on the shoes Simpson is wearing in the photo with the distinctive characteristics of the Bruno Magli Lorenzo style. Bodziak identified the angled heel, the waffle-pattern sole, the deep stitching groove and other features that he said were proof positive Simpson was wearing Bruno Maglis when the photo was taken at a Buffalo Bills football game about nine months before the murders.”

7. O.J. Simpson on The National Enquirer Photo Showing Him Wearing Bruno Magli Shoes
After Simpson says he thought the Bruno Magli shoes were “ugly,” Petrocelli shows him a photograph, which was first published in the National Enquirer, showing Simpson wearing Bruno Magli shoes at a football game nine months before the murders.
“His story was, ‘well yeah, that’s me in the picture, but those are not my shoes,’” Petrocelli told “20/20.” “He says, ‘I don’t remember what shoes I had on that day… but I didn’t have those shoes on,’ because he knew that those were the killer’s shoes.”
During the deposition, Petrocelli asks Simpson if the man in the photo was him. “It appears to be me, yes,” Simpson responded. Petrocelli goes on to ask Simpson if he could describe the jacket he is wearing in the photo and asks if he remembered wearing it. To both questions, Simpson just says, “No.” Then Petrocelli brings up the shoes again.
Petrocelli: “Looking at the close up of the shoes, can you believe that those were shoes that you owned at the time?” Simpson: “No.”
By the time the civil trial began in 1997, 30 more photographs of Simpson wearing the same Bruno Magli shoes were entered into evidence. https://www.highsnobiety.com/2016/03/23/oj-simpson-bruno-magli-guilty/

One other photo of him in the shoes had been offered at trial, but Simpson’s attorneys argued it was a fake. That contention was blown to bits with the discovery of Flammer’s photos — 30 crisp color negatives, including 7-A, which had been published in black and white in an official Bills publication seven months before the killings....
Simpson posed with the organizing committee for the banquet — five members of a Bills booster club, including Flammer’s father — before a Miami Dolphins-Bills game in 1993. Flammer snapped the photos quickly and stored the negatives in his darkroom in the basement of his parents’ home, where they were mostly forgotten for three years. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/2016/06/02/photos-sent-oj-simpson-spiraling/84911596/

2-2-16 “He was very nice,” Poser told FN. “He bought a bunch of dress casual stuff — he wanted something that was comfortable. But I remembered what he didn’t buy more so than I remembered selling him that particular [Bruno Magli] shoe.”
Poser said the former NFL player was working as a sportscaster for NBC at the time and was in search of a pair of dress casual shoes to wear on the sidelines of a Buffalo Bills game.
“He didn’t buy the Congo boot from HH Brown because he thought that was too casual,” Poser said. “I remember going back and forth with him on it because I didn’t want to sell him the Bruno Magli shoes because it wasn’t as good for [the climate in Buffalo], but he wanted that kind of look.” https://www.yahoo.com/news/the-real-story-behind-the-infamous-oj-simpson-215009639.html

The witness -- a blunt man who used foreign pronunciations almost apologetically, as if worrying about sounding pretentious -- then described the complex procedure in which he extrapolated from tread fragments to conclude that the prints had been left by size 12 Bruno Magli shoes, with soles made by a subcontractor called Silga. Superimposing plastic transparencies of prints taken from such shoes over photographs taken at the crime scene, he said that footprint after footprint confirmed his conclusion.
A man who has focused on footwear for 22 years, Mr. Bodziak used both the language of cobblers (like the "lasts" around which "uppers" and "lowers" are stitched) and forensics (like the "squeegee effect," which takes place when blood nestled in a shoe's treads migrates beyond its original location). http://www.nytimes.com/1995/06/20/us/simpson-s-shoe-size-fits-bloody-prints-left-crime-scene-fbi-expert-says.html?mcubz=3
