From the best all-around running back in the game today comes this pair of game-worn cleats photo-matched to a 3-TD performance during the 2018 season. Todd Gurley had another monster year for the Los Angeles Rams in helping lead them all the way to the Super Bowl against the Patriots. A nagging knee injury at the end of the regular season lingered in the playoffs, perhaps preventing the Rams from taking home the Lombardi Trophy instead of Brady and the Pats. The former Georgia Bulldog rushed for 1,251 yards in 14 regular season games and led the NFL with 17 touchdowns on the ground. He also had four TD grabs from a total of 59 catches and 580 receiving yards, coming close to another campaign with 2,000 yards from scrimmage. On Sept. 16 vs. Arizona, Gurley had 73 total yards and ran for three touchdowns (11, 1 and 1 yards) in L.A.'s 34-0 spanking of the Cardinals at the Coliseum.
The Nike 'Alpha Menace Pro Mid' Todd Gurley signature model cleats come in navy blue and white with gold Swoosh logos and gold laces. "TG30" is stamped on the tongues and the symbolic message "BUILT TO WIN" adorns the heel tabs in gold lettering. Proper Nike tagging is found underneath the tongues indicating size 13 and "FA18" for season worn. There is a flat foot stabilizer insert, made of a hard plastic material (not an orthotic) inside the front of the right shoe only. The original insoles have been removed. The cleats show a ton of game use, with grass stains, punctures and other contact marks throughout. Some field turf is still stuck to the bottoms. A noticeable grass stain is clearly visible on the inside of the right cleat (just to the right of the Swoosh) in Getty images 1034518692 and 1038596508 for a conclusive photo-match to the 9/16/2018 game. The cleats come from a reliable source with ties to the team.
