Bill Belichick has made the sneakers he wore as part of the NFL’s “My Cause, My Cleats” initiative in Week 13 available for auction.
For “My Cause, My Cleats,” the New England Patriots head coach opted to represent his Bill Belichick Foundation, which aspires to “provide coaching, mentorship, and financial support to individuals, communities, and organizations,” per the organization’s website.
According to the foundation, Belichick will wear the sneakers up for auction at least one more time for a game against the New York Jets on Jan. 3.
