As the beginning of the NFL season begins to roll in around the corner, Nike prepares with a new iteration of the Cleats PE sneaker model that is made with inspiration from the DT96. The shoes are made with Kyler Murray and is prepared for performance on the fields.
It replicates the look of the Nike Air DT Max 96 sneaker model, which is the signature shoe of the former NFL athlete. The inspiration behind the design also nods to his admiration of baseball and football with a solid black hue at the base of the shoe and then detailed with golden yellow on top for a bold contrast. Pops of red and white are detailed with small Swooshes along the lateral side.
