Because of his special Louis Vuitton x Nike cleats, Dallas Cowboys running back Jaydon Blue sustained a slight injury. This Sunday’s trip by the Dallas Cowboys to play the New York Jets will be significant for one man in Week 5. Jaydon Blue, the running back for the Cowboys, is slated to make his eagerly awaited NFL debut.
However, a rookie error nearly caused Blue’s professional debut to be postponed much more. Todd Archer of ESPN NFL Nation was informed by Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer that Blue had made a “little questionable decision.”
During practice, Blue donned personalized Louis Vuitton x Nike football cleats. The amazing bespoke colorway has “LV” branding on a blue and white pattern.
Although they looked amazing, they caused Blue to have blisters on his feet.
The Schottenheimer explanation: “He went out there with some cool new cleats – Louis Vuitton Nikes. You should go get you a pair, but they give you blisters, and so about halfway through practice, I saw him laying there. I was like, ‘What the hell happened to Blue?'”
“‘Oh, coach, I’m fine. I have blisters.’ I was like, ‘Oh, shocker. Look at the cool shoes you got.’ That’s part of what you deal with with young players, and quickly he changed his cleat, and it’s amazing the blisters weren’t as bad,”

According to Schottenheimer, the cleats do have a cool appearance. He was wrong, though, when he advised going out to purchase a pair. Although they had previously worked together on limited-edition sneakers, Louis Vuitton and Nike have never formally partnered on football cleats. Like many NFL players, Blue’s cleats were designed by an artist.
