To commemorate the upcoming 2016 NFL season, Jordan Brand created 12 exclusive pairs of the Air Jordan IX PE in both high- and low-top versions. Each cleat was made specifically for a Jordan Brand athlete—culling team colors, a single-pull lacing system, as well as a Dynamic Fit inner bootie for a secure fit. Not to mention, players can get their names or numbers inscribed on the tongue. The bespoke pairs were made for these football stars: Dez Bryant, Earl Thomas, Joe Haden, Andre Johnson, Alshon Jeffrey, Michael Crabtree, Golden Tate, Corey Coleman, Jalen Ramsey, Thomas Davis, Dwight Freeney and Jordan Reed.

Check out the custom Air Jordan IX cleats above and let us know how they compare to DeAndre Hopkins’ specially-made adidas Yeezy Boost 350 cleats.
