Josh Norman Wears Optimus Prime Cleats Game

Not to be left out of Adidas' custom cleat fun is Washington cornerback Josh Norman, who broke out a special pair ahead of today's rivalry game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Spotted during pregame warm-ups, Norman's Adidas Adizero 5-Star cleats are inspired by Transformers villain Optimus Prime, drawing from a matchup between he and former Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin "Megatron" Johnson in 2014. Norman even brought an Optimus Prime action figure to the locker room ahead of the game and was quoted as saying he "channeled Optimus Prime" when asked about shutting Johnson down.

The cleats feature a blue base with orange and red flame details, along with chrome accents referencing Optimus' pre-transformed truck body.
