The Saints will begin their quest for a second Super Bowl title in franchise history next week as the top seed in the NFC.
While they are waiting on the result of Sunday night’s Eagles-Bears game to learn whether they will take on the Eagles or the Cowboys in that Divisional Round matchup, there’s still some preparation that can be done. For star receiver Michael Thomas, that means figuring out what footwear he’ll be rocking for the postseason opener.
Thomas typically wears the Jordan 11 cleats (in the black and white Concord colorway), but it appears he’ll be shifting to a different retro model for the playoffs. Jordan sent the star wideout a pair of incredible looking gold and black Jordan 1 cleats for him to try out for the Divisional Round.

Jordan’s entry into the cleat game recently has resulted in some great retro cleat looks, but we haven’t really seen Jordan 1s turned into cleats. Now the most iconic Jordan look will grace the field with the modern touch of what appears to be a Lunarlon midsole over the cleat bottom.
We’ll see if Thomas wears these during the game, in warmups only, or pivots between the 1s and his standard 11s for the matchup, but he certainly has an incredible looking option at his disposal.
