Debuted in the Detroit Lions' Thanksgiving Day game against the Houston Texans last season, Calvin Johnson's Nike CJ81 Elite TD Cleat is set for a retail launch next month.
The 3/4 cut cleat features synthetic construction, a Pro Combat padded collar, midfoot cross-strap for support and star-shaped perorations throughout.
Launch colorways include neutral Black/Silver and White/Black, as well as the Detroit Lions-inspired Blue/Silver pair Megatron played in last year.
Retail will be $120 and the release is scheduled for Saturday, May 11 at nike.com.
