After being threatened with an ejection prior to the NFC Championship Game, Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch gave his golden custom Nike Vapor Speed cleats another shot for Super Bowl XLIX.

The All-Pro was spotted warming up in the SolesbySir creation during pre-game warmups, but was in a Seahawks-themed colorway by kickoff. It's not clear who made the call for Lynch to change, but NFL officials did speak with him and the Seahawks before the game. That's why they call it the No Fun League.
