Jalen Hurts & Dak Prescott Battle in Air Jordan Cleats
There is never a slow Sunday in the fall, thanks to the NFL. Football fans sink into their couch as they watch nonstop highlights, while sneakerheads perk up at the sight of fire footwear worn on and off the field. As always, Sunday's slate of games had something for everybody tuning into the action.
With all eyes on yesterday's matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles, everyone knew there would be some special cleats worn during the game. Luckily for us, the game featured two Jordan Brand athletes. Now, we need our loyal readers to figure out which star player had the better cleats.

After dazzling in player-exclusive cleats throughout last season, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts made it official by signing with Jordan Brand in August. On Sunday, Hurts wore an unreleased pair of retro Air Jordan 11 cleats in a gold and white colorway.
The 11th signature sneaker from Michael Jordan's line is the favorite model for many fans. It will forever be synonymous with Space Jam and the 1996 title run for the Chicago Bulls. However, the old-school hoop shoe looks even better on the gridiron.
The Air Jordan 11 is currently sold out online, and online shoppers must resort to sneaker resale websites if they hope to purchase a pair. In the meantime, they can expect another colorway to drop around the holiday season.
Dak Prescott

Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott could be considered the face of Jordan Brand in the NFL. The 30-year-old is one of the brand's most tenured players and always rocks player-exclusive cleats that leave us drooling.
During Sunday's game, Prescott threw it back to the Air Jordan 1 in a classic royal blue and white colorway. It was nothing too fancy, but it did match the Cowboys' colors. Additionally, many members of the sneaker community consider the first installment of the Air Jordan line to be the best.
Luckily for online shoppers, there are plenty of Air Jordan 1 sneakers in different colorways and styles on the Nike website. The iconic basketball shoe is an integral part of sports culture history, and it continues to age like fine wine. Tell us who you think had the better cleats on Facebook and X at @FanNationKicks.
