As part of the NFL's My Cause My Cleats program, members of the Minnesota Vikings will wear custom cleats and shoes for a game this season to bring awareness to a cause they support.
This week, the Minnesota Vikings revealed the custom designs for the cleats and shoes that players and other members of the organization will wear during a game this season as part of the NFL's annual My Cause My Cleats program.
The league began the program back in 2016 as a way to allow players, coaches, and other members of teams around the NFL to display their support for a cause of their choosing.
This season, a number of notable members of the Vikings are participating in the My Cause My Cleats program, including wide receiver Justin Jefferson, quarterback Kirk Cousins, safety Harrison Smith, head coach Kevin O'Connell, and general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah.
