I also wouldn't clean them. The value and the interest is in the game-use, not that they were game-issued. Keep them dirty. Also, don't worry about the signature fading. Paint pen is a lot more durable than ball point or sharpie ink. Even if the signature were to fade, it would only return the shoes to their original game-used state. Though, perhaps he's an extreme narcissist who pre-signs all of his equipment.
As for how to show them off, they should fit into a football display. That shouldn't cost you too much money. I think I've even seen them in the frame section at Michael's and other craft type stores.
