It’s been a wild ride for Cam Newton’s pre-game cleats this year. But on Sunday, before the Niners-Panthers Divisional Round playoff game, things reached a whole new level.
Cam Newton’s ugliest cleats yet
You’re gunning for a division championship game. Gotta make sure your cleat game is outrageous.

UPDATE: Yep, totally thought these were purple. But they’re not. Check out the back of the cleats, where things reach another level of “what the hell are you wearing?”
These are the cleats Cam Newton is wearing today http://t.co/bc3OHEfuEa #Panthers pic.twitter.com/AkG0csgjVC
