Pittsburgh Steelers star Antonio Brown has worn his share of stellar custom footwear this season, paying tribute to Arnold Palmer, Muhammad Ali and even his kids:

Tillman, a safety for the Arizona Cardinals, gave up his NFL career to join the Army after the 9/11 attacks. He was killed by friendly fire in Afghanistan in 2004.

Check out these cleats:

Social media loves the look of Brown's choice of cleats.
