Vernon Davis, Kirk Cousins, Redskins support charity with custom cleats

Though the NFL normally cracks down on players wearing custom footwear, this week will be an exception.

As part of the #MyCauseMyCleats social campaign, hundreds of players will don personalized cleats supporting charity foundations of their choice. Uni Watch's Paul Lukas took a look at some of the most interesting designs, including that of Washington Redskins tight end Vernon Davis.

Davis' cleats feature splashes of paint and graffiti of all colors as a nod to his personal foundation, which promotes art education and appreciation among disadvantaged youth. Davis started the foundation because of his own experience as a closeted artist during his childhood.

Among other Redskins with custom cleats are quarterback Kirk Cousins and outside linebacker Ryan Kerrigan:

This is the first year of the #MyCauseMyCleats campaign, but with so many players embracing the opportunity, it wouldn't be a surprise to see it become an annual staple.
