The San Francisco 49ers handled their business in Week 1 of the NFL season with a decisive 32-19 win over the New York Jets. The only thing more impressive than the 49ers' play was their head coach's kicks.

Kyle Shanahan might be considered an elder Millennial, but he is one of the young bucks in the NFL coaching ranks. The offensive guru is just as knowledgeable about sneakers as he is about X's and O's.

With all eyes on the highly anticipated Monday Night Football matchup, Shanahan brought his A-game with a pair of iconic Air Jordan sneakers.

Thanks to the 49ers' social media team, fans were treated to a great video of Shanahan shaking hands with Jets head coach Robert Saleh. It appears that Saleh even looked down at Shanahan's kicks and made a comment.

Shanahan wore the Air Jordan 3 in the 'Cement Grey' colorway. The third sneaker from Michael Jordan's iconic signature line has transcended basketball to become a staple in the footwear world.
