With many teams starting training camp this week,\u00a0fans and players alike are excited about the start of another tremendous NFL season. 32 fan bases will eagerly follow their squad’s ups and downs this\u00a0season, all with the hope of witnessing their favorite team hoist the Lombardi trophy in Arizona come February.<\/p>\n
As exciting as a championship prospect may be, we look to capture this excitement by providing you with a list of the Snkrs Day All-22<\/strong>, a positional breakdown of the top sneakerheads in the NFL.<\/p>\n Today, we detail the biggest\u00a0sneakerheads on the offensive side of the ball.<\/p>\n What Allen Iverson was to the NBA, some may argue that Michael Vick is similar with regards to his impact on the NFL. From kids wanting to don the number 7 across their jerseys to rocking the cornrows under their helmets, Vick is pivotal in the evolution\u00a0of the quarterback position. With this in mind, it was only right to have Vick at the helm of our All-22 Team, and his collection doesn\u2019t disappoint.<\/p>\n A huge highlight of his sneaker rotation are the various colorways of his Nike Zoom Vick line, that has been the focus of many retro rumors as of late. In addition, Vick showcases plenty of retro Air Jordans, LeBrons and Nike Sportswear kicks.<\/p>\n With Vick becoming a new addition to the New York Jets, it\u2019ll be interesting to see if some Nike Zoom Vick\u2019s get the \u201cGang Green\u201d inspired color treatment that he could rock on Sunday afternoons in MetLife stadium.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n There\u2019s something to be said about being only 5\u20196 and 196 pounds while arguably playing the most physical position on the field. Running back Jacquizz Rodgers proves plenty of people wrong courtesy of his thorough production down in the Dirty South. However, while many of you may just now be hearing about Jacquizz, his kick game has him rubbing elbows with some of the highest profile players in the league.<\/p>\n All in all, \u201cQuizz\u201d has some of the best heat we\u2019ve seen in some time. Considering the diversity of his collection, that includes a variety of LeBrons, Air Jordans, KDs, and Nike trainers, Jacquizz deters from the trend of athletes in high-fashion sneakers. Ultimately, his depth of kicks\u00a0definitely gives him the ability to never wear the same thing twice.<\/p>\n It’ll be interesting to see how his collection grows as his career progresses, but it seems as though the four years he spent in Corvallis, near the institution that is Nike, have rubbed off on him quite a bit.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Our very own George Kiel vouched for the inclusion\u00a0of Earl Bennett within our All-22 list, and to be frank, he was spot on. This former Vanderbilt product snagged passes for the Chicago Bears last season, and recently signed a free agent contract with the Cleveland Browns. Despite the unfortunate circumstances that leaves Bennett a free agent at the moment, his role on the All-22 Team is more than secure.<\/p>\n When viewing Bennett\u2019s collection, two things come to mind: quality and consistency. While he may not flaunt the gems within his collection, you understand that there is an abundance therein. Whether he’s rocking the \u201cWhat The Kobe” 8s around Christmas or bringing out a pair of UK LeBron 7s, Bennett surely knows how to turn a lot of heads.<\/p>\n Bennett is also not afraid of stepping outside of the box, showcasing a pair of the Li-Ning Way of Wade 2 “Ring Night” that incorporates a gold hue with purple accents. Subsequently, he provides a bit of uniqueness on\u00a0our team, as he remains the only player to rock the Way of Wade 2s. Hopefully, Bennett can catch on somewhere this season, no pun intended, and remain the solid third-down threat that he has been his entire career. With this in mind, good luck, Earl.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Whether he\u2019s running a critical seam route through the heart of a defense or touring the world with KITH captain Ronnie Fieg, Victor Cruz may be the most interesting man in the NFL. While he definitely ventures away from the \u201cnorm\u201d of most NFL players, Cruz tends to rely on a certain aesthetic that usually keeps his roots stable, and those roots are grounded in sneakers. Potentially the highest-profiled player within our All-22 Team, Cruz has become a New York fixture, as his consistent and valuable play has made him a fan-favorite across the boroughs.<\/p>\n
