Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was fined $5,628 by the NFL for wearing mismatched cleats that were not “constitutional team colors,” a person familiar with the league's decision told The Associated Press on Friday.
The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the NFL had not disclosed the fine, which stemmed from Hurts wearing Air Jordan cleats in two different shades of green during the Eagles' 27-13 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.
The Nike subsidiary behind the shoes indicated on social media that it would pay Hurts' fine.
“We’re paying the fine. You can’t ban greatness,” Jordan Brand said on X.
