“Specifically, you wore [a] shoe color that was not one of your Constitutional team colors” says a letter from the league to Hurts. “A player may wear shoes that are black, white, or any Constitutional team color, or any combination of black, white and a Constitutional team color.”
The Jordan brand, manufacturer of the cleats, announced Friday that it would pay the fine:

Comically, the NFL hyped up Hurts’ cleats on social media before fining him. (The league later deleted its post.)
