NFL Preseason Week 2 Round-Up
A bunch of new NFL kicks hit the field this week… the highlights are the Nike cleats worn by the Steelers, Dre’ Bly’s Jordan III’s, the adidas cleats worn by Mario and Reggie, and a ton of new Super Bad II’s. There still hasn’t been anything notable from Reebok or Under Armour, but I’m hoping that they get their act together once the regular season starts. On to the pics…

Hines Ward has been wearing these Nike Throw Back TD PE’s for the past two weeks (and yes, I realize that this photo is from Week 1, but there weren’t any good shots of these from Week 2). As Michael Korczynski pointed out, the colorblocking in these is similar to the pair what Hines wore a few times last season… until recently, they were just about impossible to identify. Good work, Korch.
No Pony’s for Moss; Other NFL Kicks
Not too many custom cleats can be expected from the first week of training camp, but here’s the best of them:
Tom Brady broke out a new pair of Super Bads with a turf midsole and a Shark cleat pattern (similar to the midsole/outsole that he’s worn the past few years), but the really interesting thing in this photo is the absence of Randy Moss’ Pony signature cleats. Moss wore those Super Bad I’s, a Reebok model, and Super Bad II’s last year, but after all the hype about him signing with Pony, I’m surprised that he didn’t break out the new PE’s at camp (and I can’t imagine the folks at Pony are too happy). Thanks to Greg Riffenburgh for the photo.
