One of the coolest things the NFL does every year is the “My Cause, My Cleats” program. It’s a chance for the players to get creative with their shoes and also reveal some personal causes that are important to them off the field.
From the Lions’ press release,
In Week 13, Lions players and coaches will wear their hearts on their feet for the annual, League-wide My Cause, My Cleats initiative. Participating players will wear customized cleat designs created by local and national artists in support of their chosen causes, char- ities or organizations that mean the most to them. Many shoes will be donated to NFL Auction to raise funds for their respective causes.
Check out all the cleats, and for more information on the stories behind the shoes, look for links on the Lions’ social media.
