Athlete fashion is now meeting purpose. Former NFLers Nate Burleson, Marcel Reece, and Rashad Jennings, as well as Ravens safety Eric Weddle, have teamed up with New York shoe brand Awl & Sundry to help put shoes on kids in Africa. Awl & Sundry started a kickstarter campaign earlier this year, pledging to put a pair of shoes on kids in Kenya for every pair bought from their new capsule collection. The collection features shoes reflecting the personalities of the players involved, and the project has already raised over $28,000.
