Who says football and fashion can't mix.

Look good. Feel good. Play good.

It's mantra many athletes have abided by since icon Deion Sanders made the term popular during his playing days. His ability to leave opponents in the dust was only matched by the various cleats, jewelry and accessories spotted on him as he high-stepped his way to the end zone. 

Fast forward to 2023, where fashion is very much a part of the modern era. Colored visors, arm sleeves and Air Jordan 1's turned into cleats are just a small part of the culture today. 

So when Arizona Cardinals CB Christian Matthew pulled up to the second day of mandatory minicamp rocking some special Prada cleats, everyone was put on notice.

Matthew, heading into his second season, started three games for the Cardinals last season. There's opportunity for more playing time in 2023 after the departure of Byron Murphy, though names such as Marco Wilson and Antonio Hamilton among others look to step up, too.

Matthew isn't the only one with strong shoe game in the desert. Fellow defensive teammates Cameron Thomas, Jesse Luketa, Myjai Sanders and Victor Dimukeje 

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray - currently still rehabbing from a torn ACL - recently had a special pair of Nike Vapor Edge cleats unveiled for this season, paying homage to his draft night suit when the organization took him with the first overall pick.

The Cardinals just wrapped up mandatory minicamp and won't be on the field until late July. You can bet Matthew and all of his teammates will be looking fresh when that time finally arrives.
