They may not have a nickname as catchy as “Sonic and Knuckles,” but Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson are on record-setting pace all the same, currently projected to smash the all-time combined rushing mark for a starting QB and RB. In turn, Madden recognized their achievements this season by bumping both Raven’s in-game ranking up to a 99. To celebrate that achievement, Mache and the gaming company came together to mint special gilded cleats for both players.

Both player’s preferred cleat styles were utilized for these trophy case pieces; Lamar got a special do-up of the Nike Vapor Edge Pro 360 2 while King Henry got a Nike Alpha Menace 4 Elite, coincidentally the preferred style for fellow MVP contender Saquon Barkley. Expectedly, both colorways are outfitted in the Raven’s signature royal purple and a heavy dose of metallic gold signifying their shimmering in-game mark. To ensure you don’t miss whose is whose, Henry’s sports alternating #99/crown patterns at the heel, while Lamar’s alludes to his electrifying on-field speed with a lightning pattern on the lateral side Swoosh.
