“As the Baltimore Ravens faced off against the San Francisco 49ers on Christmas night, Odell Beckham Jr. lit up the field with festive flair. The NFL player sported personalized cleats inspired by Santa Claus’ iconic attire and warmed up in style with Nike Kobe 6 Proto ‘Grinch’ sneakers at Levi’s Stadium in San Francisco. Teaming up with the renowned Dominic Ciambrone, also known as The Surgeon, Beckham Jr. unveiled the dazzling ‘Grinchmas’ cleats, showcasing a perfect blend of holiday spirit and athletic prowess.”
The bright green fabric used to dress the right cleat was a reference to the Grinch’s fur. On the outside of the shoe, there was a functional light-up heart that could be turned on with a button press. With its plush red and white fabric and detachable hat cover, the left cleat was designed to resemble Santa Claus’ attire.
George Kittle’s custom Air Jordan 1 High cleats for Christmas.
Additionally, the Surgeon gave 49ers player George Kittle a unique appearance. Kittle donned the classic Air Jordan 1 High with cleats. The tight end’s customised, customised appearance included uppers with glitter all over them in shades of red, black, and white. The cleats for Kittle were named “North Pole” in honour of the occasion, despite the fact that this hue is commonly associated with NBA legend Michael Jordan, who guided the Chicago Bulls to six championships.
On Christmas night, Beckham and the Ravens defeated Kittle and the 49ers, 33-19.
In order to get a personalised shoe, players now turn to Ciambrone as their designer. For example, he designed a custom look for boxing sensation Devin Haney, who defeated Regis Prograis on December 9, drawing inspiration from Rick Owens. Additionally, Ciambrone created specially made boxing footwear for Canelo Alvarez, the biggest boxing star, for his November victory over Jermell Charlo. Alvarez wore matching Dolce & Gabbana boxing boots in gold and purple with “Undisputed” and “Canelo” badges sewed into the uppers.
