Kareem Jackson owns many pairs of shoes, but on Sunday he will lace up a very special pair of white and gold custom cleats.
“It’s amazing,” he said, seeing his new shoes for the first time on Wednesday.
The seven-year cornerback is just one of a number of Texans who worked with an independent customizer, Darwin Itzep of Airbrush Brothers, to design cleats for the NFL’s My Cause, My Cleats campaign.
Each pair is unique to the player and his cause. Jackson wanted to honor his mother, Rossalyn Jackson, by having her name inscribed on the side of his shoes.
