From anti-racism to anti-bullying, the Arizona Cardinals are busting out some incredible custom cleats for the NFL's "My Cause, My Cleats" week.
For this weekend's slate of games, NFL players have the option of wearing cleats to promote any number of causes and messages. Here's a look at a few choices Cardinals players have made for Sunday's home game vs. the Washington Redskins.
-Safety Tyrann Mathieu will wear cleats to promote racial harmony via RISEtoWIN.org. "It's been a rough year for racial divide in our country, so for me, it was important to symbolize all of us coming together, all of us treating each other as equals," Mathieu told AZCardinals.com.
