mollyfamwatThe NFL Players Association announced on Wednesday, February 13 that it will be releasing a line of cleats to raise awareness and funds for various causes. The line is being called the “My Cause My Cleats” campaign.

The V Foundation and ESPN are both dedicated to the battle against cancer. The dates for V Week 2021 are November 30 through December 12. Please give to cancer research at V.org/donate if you are able.
The annual #MyCauseMyCleats weekend in the NFL is here. It’s the one weekend of the season when players may wear non-team-specific shoes while still adhering to the NFL’s uniform standards.
Quenton Nelson, a three-time All-Pro guard for the Indianapolis Colts, will be supporting the V Foundation during Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans.

Nelson, who lost an aunt and uncle to cancer, said Jim Valvano’s memorable ESPYS speech “Don’t give up… Don’t ever give up” has inspired and pushed him. Valvano delivered the speech while fighting cancer in 1993. In conjunction with ESPN, the V Foundation for Cancer Research was founded after that address.
Nelson told ESPN’s Mike Wells, “Jimmy V’s ‘Don’t Give Up’ speech has had a tremendous influence on my life…” “A couple of times a year, my closest friends and I have ‘Jimmy V evenings,’ when we drink beers, smoke cigars, drink scotch, and listen to music till 3 a.m., and we attempt to laugh, ponder, and weep as Jim mentioned in his speech.”
Nelson has earned approximately $79,000 for cancer research as a V Foundation ambassador and via his own “Blocking Cancer” project for the V Foundation.
Here are some of the other cleat styles that will be worn this weekend by players:
