Don’t look now, but the Miami Dolphins are back in the AFC Playoff picture. Earlier today, the Dolphins defeated the New England Patriots 34-15 for their third straight win.

Dolphins wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was targeted three times, but did not receive a single reception. Beckham Jr. however, will make headlines with his choice of clothing and footwear for pre-match warm-ups.

Beckham Jr. showed love to former LSU Tigers alum Jarvis Landry with his warm-up top. Even better, the All-Pro wide receiver debuted a custom pair of ANTA KAI 1 football boots. The colorway had a South Beach vibe with a teal upper contrasted with pink and black detailing.

Dallas Mavericks point guard Kyrie Irving shook up the sneaker industry by teaming up with Chinese sportswear brand ANTA to launch one of the most popular sneaker lines in the NBA.

While Irving’s kicks are made for the hardwood and not the gridiron, custom artist The Shoe Surgeon created a custom pair of cleats for “OBJ” to wear before the game.

Not only do Irving’s kicks look good, but Beckham Jr. probably also sees a kindred spirit in the NBA All-Star. Irving and Beckham Jr. both had messy breakups with Nike and aren’t afraid to forge their own path in the footwear industry.

Although Irving’s split with Nike did not involve any lawsuits, Beckham Jr. fought. against Nike in court for years. The two sides finally reached a ruling on July 18. Curiously, just four days later, Nike sued The Shoe Surgeon for using its trademarks without permission.

Beckham Jr. is still a sneaker free agent and has gone out of his way to show no love for the Swoosh. He has worn a healthy mix of custom shoes, adidas and vintage Air Jordan models. Additionally, he uses his pregame jerseys to show love to other wide receivers in the college and professional ranks.

Beckham Jr.’s performance will improve as he spends more time on the court, but there’s no way his sneaker game can get stronger. Stay locked into Sports Illustrated’s Steps on SI for all your shoe news from the sports world and beyond.
