We do not want to overreact, but the Philadelphia Eagles improved to 2-0 in the NFL preseason on Thursday night. Philadelphia narrowly defeated the New England Patriots 14-13 without their starting quarterback.

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts sat out the preseason game but still brought the heat with his pregame sneakers. The two-time NFL Pro Bowler rocked a pair of the Undefeated x Nike Air Force 1 SP.

The iconic sneaker boutique has teamed up with Nike on several collaborations over the years, including multiple iterations of the brand's most iconic silhouette.

Hurts wore the Undefeated x Nike Air Force 1 SP in the "Pink Prime" colorway. The kicks were released in November 2022 for $150 in limited quantities. They now hover between $200-$300 in most sizes on sneaker resale websites.

The "Pink Prime" colorway is taken from the AF1 Multi-Color Patent project, a collaborative series celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Nike Air Force 1.

The colorway takes cues from Undefeated's Nike Dunk High NL from 2005. It features a paneled patent leather upper in a clashing mix of powder blue, brown, black, and purple.

Other important details include the 'UNDFTD' lace dubrae and a bright yellow tongue tag marked with Undefeated's Five Strikes logo. Lastly, the insignia is repeated on the lateral heel.

Hurts is a Jordan Brand athlete after signing a sneaker deal with the company last August. So it is funny to see him rocking Nike sneakers before a game. Nevertheless, fans can count on Hurts to wear Air Jordan cleats once he does return to the field.

The NFL preseason is in full swing, and so is our coverage of player's footwear on and off the field. Fans can follow Kicks on SI for all their sneaker news from the sports world and beyond.
