New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas is a superstar, and he knows it. He celebrates his many catches with a quick biceps flex and signal for a first down, and takes pride in the hard work he’s put in to accomplish goals like earning the award as 2019’s Offensive Player of the Year.
Thomas also earned recognition from one of his top sponsors — Nike’s Jordan brand sneakers, who sent him an outstanding pair of new sneakers celebrating last season’s achievements. The cleats are are stylized in white, black, and gold, and feature details such as his NFL-record 149 receptions in a single season and famous Twitter handle (@cantguardmike). See them for yourself:

We can expect Thomas to put these on display somewhere in his home, likely in his crowded trophy case, but the jury’s out on whether he’ll wear them into a game. The Jordan brand ambassador has made a habit of gifting sneakers to coaches and teammates, with Saints head coach Sean Payton wearing them during the Zurich Classic golf tournament. But Thomas outdid himself last season by landing a shipment of sneakers for the entire Saints locker room.
