New York Giants Odell Beckham Jr. and Victor Cruz commemorated 9/11 on Sunday by wearing patriotic cleats during their team’s game against the Dallas Cowboys — despite NFL warnings that players would be fined for wearing the shoes.
Beckham’s special cleats were red, white and blue and emblazoned with the bust of a bald eagle. Cruz’s cleats had red and white stripes splashed with blue-star accents.
Both wide receivers also sported different pairs of custom commemorative cleats, designed by Kickasso like Picasso, during the pregame warm-up. Beckham’s portrayed the Twin Towers, while Cruz’s had a fire-truck theme that featured his late father’s engine number.
