My Cause My Cleats

As part of the NFL's annual My Cause My Cleats campaign, more than 35 Browns players and coaches will share powerful stories and inspiration through custom cleat and shoe designs with signature meanings during pregame and/or throughout the team's matchup against the Denver Broncos on Monday, December 2, inside Empower Field at Mile High.

The My Cause My Cleats campaign, launched in 2016, is a connection between the NFL and players allowing them to create their art and represent their respective philanthropic organizations, passions, and movements through unique designs in stadiums across the league.

Check out photos of the foundations and causes Browns players are highlighting on their cleats this week for the "My Cause My Cleats" game against the Rams.
