Antoine Winfield Jr.'s cleats for the Super Bowl

[GopherLady]

Wow. Love these.

Those are pretty cool. Been fun to see some of the different things players are doing with their cleats in recent years.

I want to see those cleats standing in the end zone with a pick.

They should make players a couple each and auction off one of the pair for Covid relief for paramedics who are struggling, as that is a tough gig that pays crapola.

I suspect you'll see his cleats in the end zone multiple times. Perhaps not exactly how you might hope though.

Did they make a pair for TJ too?

First time a Vikings jersey will be worn in a Super Bowl in over 40 years. Seems fitting that it is the son of one of our former players that somehow makes this happen by putting it on his feet. Love the family and MN pride.

Who is “they”? The players pay to have these made. Lots of artists out there doing really cool things on sneakers

The NFL - it's a great PR opportunity.

I would like to hear the Vikings reasoning for not drafting him.

I could be wrong but aren't guys like Thielen and some others part of some program that auctions off their cleats for charity?

There’s a nice article about Antoine and his dad @ nypost.com. Apologies for not linking - I’m technology challenged.

I think you're right. I was thinking it was a good opportunity for the NFL to do it as a whole program to raise money for paramedics.

JJ.

AW was the 4th Safety selected so one could ask the same question of the Giants, Patriots and Browns.

 

[MaroonShaft]

Antoine is gonna be a legendary player and shit talker. I’m here for it.

 

[WindyCityGopher]

Doesn’t look like he was wearing those cleats during the game, or at least he wasn’t at the end.

Thankfully they didn't, otherwise he wouldn't have a Super Bowl ring right now

 

[BTChamp]

Would be good if he autographed the cleats and gave them to Hill...
You know, " for charity".

True, but the difference is that the Vikings knew him and his family, personally for years. Harrison Smith who knew them for many years, said that AW jr was going to be "a baller".
