Jalen Hurts has style on and off the field, and the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback was getting extra attention Sunday in Super Bowl 57 for his cleats. Hurts broke out his Jordan XI Concord cleats that he’s worn previously as the Eagles marched to the championship game.
The swagger seemed to be working as he scored the first touchdown of the Super Bowl, a one-yard quarterback sneak in the first quarter.
In the second quarter, Hurts swapped to Jordan 1s, which appeared to be due to the struggles players were having on the turf. The new cleats had a different spike length. He had success in these as well, scoring a four-yard run before halftime to put the Eagles up 21-14.

In the divisional round, Hurts scored three touchdowns in Philadelphia’s 38-7 thrashing of the New York Giants while wearing the Jordan XI cleats. The 24-year-old star also wore the cleats in Week 12 in a win over the Green Bay Packers.
Michael Jordan debuted the Jordan XI Concords in 1995 while he was playing for the Chicago Bulls. The sneakers have become a fashion favorite for their sleek black and white look.
