Odell Beckham Jr. showed off his patriotism with his new cleats that helped him make an 87-yard touchdown catch against the New England Patriots.

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. continues to be one of the most recognizable names among NFL players for his skill and personality.

Beckham drew attention to himself on Sunday by wearing cleats that are decorated with stars and stripes. Here is a picture of these shoes that seem to be working for Beckham so far.

The Giants star wide receiver has already caught a touchdown pass for 87 yards to even the score against the New England Patriots, so his cleats may be filled with magic. Ironically, Beckham is wearing these cleats on the day that the Giants play the Patriots. The similarity of his cleats’ design and the Patriots’ logo may draw criticism from pundits, but Giants fans can’t be complaining after his 87-yard touchdown catch. Beckham rose to fame with his one-handed touchdown catch against the Dallas Cowboys in his rookie season, and he has emerged as one of the top NFL receivers since.

It remains to be seen if the Giants can deal the Patriots their first loss of the season, but they appeared to be getting in their heads once again judging by the first quarter. The Giants can always be counted on to play tough against the Patriots, as they have beaten them in the Super Bowl twice. The Patriots have not defeated the Giants since their 2007 regular-season finale, and they have lost to them three times since.

The Patriots and Giants both appear to have similar storylines in the making this season, as they lead the NFC East with a 5-4 record while the Patriots are on a quest to finish 16-0 for the second time in franchise history.
