It may not have been his most productive outing, but it was a very solid first game back for Odell Beckham Jr. Beckham caught two passes for 37 yards in the Baltimore Ravens 25-9 home win over the Houston Texans. It was clear that the veteran wide receiver was happy to be back on the field.

Beckham showed love to three NFL legends during his Ravens' regular season debut. "OBJ" paid tribute to Ravens' legend Ray Lewis with his signature pre-game dance during introductions. Additionally, Beckham warmed up in a custom vintage t-shirt that showed Deion Sanders on the front with "revenge tour" dates (Baltimore's schedule) on the back.

Yet, the best part of Beckham's first game back was his footwear. Beckham wore a cleated version of Randy Moss' Jordan Super Freak sneakers on the field. In 1999, Moss became the first NFL player to sign with Jordan Brand and launched a signature sneaker line the following year.

Thanks to the Minnesota Vikings' old-school astroturf in the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome at the time, Moss' sneakers didn't need cleats. However, it appears that Beckham had a pair of the retro shoes converted into cleats for today's game.

Unfortunately, Beckham is currently locked in a bitter legal battle with Nike. So, all eyes will be on his feet each week. During his one preseason appearance, Beckham wore custom Nike cleats with a Chrome Hearts-inspired paint job that concealed the Swoosh logos with crosses.
