Impossible in Soccer? Harrison Butker Kicks SuperBowl Game-Winning Field Goal in One Nike Mercurial Football Boot & One Adidas American Football Cleat
Feb 13, 2023, by Chris
Kansas City Chiefs Kicker Harrison Butker has made it in the football boot world (or soccer) for an unexpected reason - He kicked the Super Bowl game-winning field goal in one Nike football boot and one Adidas cleat.
Harrison Butker Wears Nike Air Mercurial Football Botos On Kicking Feet & Adidas Adizero American Football Cleat on Support Feet
The kicker was spotted on the field wearing the Nike Zoom Mercurial Superfly 9 soccer cleat on the right (kicking) foot and the Adidas Adizero American football cleat on the left (support) foot. This is a rare sight, as athletes usually opt to wear the same brand of cleats for consistency and comfort.
Butker also missed a field goal early in the game, hitting the post
The slippery field conditions at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz, forced several players to switch their cleats during the game. Butker's decision to wear two different brands was a deliberate choice - he did so during the whole season.
Butker has neither a brand deal with Adidas nor Nike apparently
Butker did also wear a custom pair of his mismatched cleats to support the Dream Factory Kansas City. This is possible in the NFL during the traditional "My Cause My Cleats" week.
"My Cause My Cleats" allows players to express their commitment to the causes that are most important to them.
