Odell Beckham Jr. found a unique way to stick out in the New York Giants–Washington Redskins game.
New York Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr. is best-known for his one-handed catches. On Sunday he took his fashion skills to the next level by wearing Charlie Brown cleats against the Washington Redskins.
"Odell Beckham Jr.'s Charlie Brown and Snoopy cleats:"
The right cleat in the photo represents Charlie Brown’s sweater, while the other sneaker is Snoopy. Beckham Jr. wore this at a appropriate time as many Americans watch A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving every Thanksgiving weekend. While the cleat decision is apropos and cool to see, the NFL will most likely be dropping a fine into Beckham Jr.’s lap as it violates some uniform policy.
It will probably be a minor fine and Beckham Jr. was most likely aware it would be coming when deciding to wear the cleats. Nonetheless, it’s a unique pair of cleats that many athletes don’t own. Beckham Jr. can also afford the fine to show his fashion side for at least one game. As the season progressing, it will be interesting to see if Beckham wears these cleats again around when A Charlie Brown Christmas is being played ahead of Christmas.
For now, fans can know that Beckham Jr. is equally good at making fashion decisions as he is at catching the ball one-handed.
