JACKSONVILLE, Fla.Ahead of this season of gratitude, Jacksonville Jaguars players and coaches unveiled new footwear, customized with artwork representing the individual causes they support, for the NFL's 10th annual 'My Cause My Cleats' initiative. The new cleats will be worn in this week's game against the Jaguars' AFC South Division rival, theTennessee Titans, Sunday, Nov. 30 in Nashville.
More than 40 Jaguars players and 15 coaches are participating in this season's initiative which celebrates the passion they have for off-the-field causes and organizations. This year's chosen causes range from military appreciation, disease prevention and awareness, youth development and others. To design the cleats, players and coaches collaborated with artists for their cause, and following this week's game, many will be donated to raise funds for their charity through NFL Auction or directly to the organization they support.
For a complete list of participating players and high resolution imagery of select shoe designs, view them on theJaguars My Cause My Cleats website.
Several cleat artists were commissioned to provide the footwear including long-time Jaguars partners Soles by Sir, Joe Castro and Dillion DeJesus.
For DEJosh Hines-Allen, however, giving back to the Jacksonville community introduced him to his cleat artist, Zende T. Randolph. Randolph, a 17-year old visual artist and native of nearby OUTEAST neighborhood, met Hines-Allen in 2024 when his family received a Thanksgiving basket from the Jaguars player's Four One For All Foundation event, where they discussed Randolph's artwork. When the time came for Hines-Allen's 2025 cleats to be designed, Randolph got the call to put his artistry to the cleat with his design representing the Foundation and its effort to bring awareness and end childhood cancer honoring Wesley Allen's journey. "Through these cleats, I wanted to show that every step tells a story, and together, they say that hope moves with us on the field, in our communities, and in every family fighting childhood cancer," said Randolph.
Youth development and education are a high priority issue for Jaguars players for this year's initiative. WRParker Washingtonchose to represent Heart of the Kids Social Services, Inc. on his cleats and he believes in the Christian-based nonprofit's mission to give kids a place to heal, to grow, and to believe in what's possible. Washington shared, "As athletes, we talk a lot about potential and purpose and these kids deserve the same chance to chase theirs. Standing with this organization is my way of investing in their future and pushing for something bigger than the game."
A spotlight on disease prevention and awareness was another prevalent theme. According to the National Institutes of Health, in 2025 more than 2 million new cancer cases and nearly 620,000 deaths related to the disease are projected to occur in the United States. It is no wonder that several Jaguars had a personal connection to selecting cancer awareness and prevention as their cause. For SRayuan Lane III, it was his brother-in law who succumbed to a rare cancer, Ewing Sarcoma at age 16. "I am honored to represent the Little Warrior Foundation through the My Cause My Cleats initiative. In remembrance of my brother-in-law, Bryce MooreThroughout his two-year battle, he exemplified what it truly meant to be a warrior every single day."
