Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson helped to create custom cleats honoring George Floyd, which he showed off on Instagram on Thursday.
“I’m making my mark, Regardless of the feedback,” Jackson wrote in the caption. “I’m taking a stance on justice & using my platform to stand for what’s right !!”
The cleats were created by Marcus Rivero of Soles By Sir.
It was last month when Floyd met his untimely demise when a Minneapolis police officer put his knee on Floyd’s neck for eight minutes and 46 seconds.
His death sparked a wave of protests in every state in America that continues today, some weeks after his death.
