Von Miller of the Denver Broncos decided to wreak havoc on quarterback in style on Thursday Night Football between the Broncos and Carolina Panthers, debuting the cleats through ESPN on Twitter:

It’s a new entry to the cleat game, to say the least.
The Yeezys are one of the most popular kicks out there, so it seemed a matter of time before the NFL caught on with a football-ready edition. So long as they hold up, this looks like the first major trend of the 2016 season.
Thanks, Von.
