Mike McDaniel Honors Veterans with Custom Nike Shoes

Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel wore patriotic Nike sneakers to honor veterans during an NFL game.

The NFL always does a commendable job of paying tribute to veterans. Over Veteran's Day weekend, the entire league has participated in the Salute to Service. Coaches, players, and staff all have their own unique way of honoring the men and women who served in the armed forces. 

For example, Miami Dolphins head coach, Mike McDaniel, is a well-documented sneakerhead. Coach McDaniel used his kicks to represent his appreciation for veterans.
