METRO DETROIT — University of Michigan Running Back Blake Corum was one of nine college football stars to help design custom cleats which were later auctioned to benefit the Children’s Miracle Network.
This past autumn, 7-Eleven and Speedway launched the inaugural year of “Cleat Crew,” in which nine college football stars from across the country designed custom cleats with bespoke luxury designer The Shoe Surgeon to benefit Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.
For the final auction of the season, Corum presented the one and only pair of his cleats for auction, which were sold for $2,100 on Nov. 29.
Inspired by a video game console, the cleats feature details like a painted "Insert Disc " and memory card slot along with a leather power button patch, a painted "BC" port as a play on the AC port with Blake's initials, and soles featuring Blake's name in big bold lettering with his Deuce logo at the bottom.
