Close to 70 Indianapolis Colts players – as well as the Irsay family, General Manager Chris Ballard and Head Coach Shane Steichen and others – will wear customized cleats and shoes that highlight charitable organizations in Indiana and beyond during this season's My Cause My Cleats game this Sunday vs. the Houston Texans.
The player-led campaign began across the NFL in 2016 and has provided a platform to bring causes they are most passionate about to the forefront on gameday. As such, players may wear specially painted cleats during this game to support the charitable organization of their choice.
This season, the Colts again worked with Stadium Custom Kicks and Rodney Jackson of the Washington DC area to customize the cleats. Colts participating this year include:
