Each year, the NFL observes Breast Cancer Awareness throughout the month October. In 2009, the league also launched A Crucial Catch, a campaign that supports the American Cancer Society’s breast cancer screening and education initiatives through fundraising and community efforts. Since instituted, the program has raised approximately $7 million for the ACS, with majority of the contribution coming from the sale of pink items at retail and the NFL auction website.
Among said items are the pink cleats and performance gear players are permitted to wear during Breast Cancer Awareness. Today's special edition of NFL Sole Watch highlights some of the best pink cleats that hit the field during Week 5.
