Cowboys Rookie Nearly Jeopardizes His NFL Debut Over Designer Cleats

A Dallas Cowboys rookie almost put his NFL debut in danger — all because of his shoe choice during Thursday’s practice.

Jaydon Blue, the rookie running back expected to be active for the first time this season against the New York Jets, suffered painful blisters after wearing a pair of custom Louis Vuitton–Nike cleats.

Offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer told reporters he couldn’t believe what he was seeing:

“About halfway through practice, I saw him lying down and asked, ‘What the hell happened?’” Schottenheimer recalled. “Oh, shocker — look at those cool shoes he’s got.”

By Friday, Blue had switched to a new pair of blue cleats and was back at practice. Schottenheimer joked that it was a “bold decision” by the rookie — one that almost cost him his long-awaited debut.

Blue clearly wanted to make a fashion statement, and he did — just not the kind he was hoping for. The fifth-round pick from April’s draft has yet to see the field through the first four games of the season, and this small setback could’ve delayed his debut even further.

Luckily, the designer cleats didn’t cause serious injury. But it was a close call — and a reminder that in the NFL, style means nothing if it slows you down.

Cowboys Star QB Sends Message: “The Sky Is the Limit” Ahead of Cowboys vs. Jets
Cowboys Star QB Sends Message: “The Sky Is the Limit” Ahead of Cowboys vs. Jets Dallas, TX – Quarterback Dak Prescott is radiating confidence as the Cowboys prepare for their upcoming clash with the New York Jets. Speaking to reporters after practice, Prescott didn’t hold back: “What we did last week sent a message to the entire league. This offense has serious firepower — these are teammates you can trust anywhere on the field. I’m confident we’ll get the win for the Cowboys this weekend. For us, the sky is the limit.” The statement comes after a dominant offensive performance by Dallas last week, where their balanced attack and big-play ability left the league taking notice. Prescott’s leadership has been instrumental in keeping the team’s morale high, especially as they integrate new players like Jaydon Blue, who is expected to make his NFL debut this Sunday. 🔮 Game Predictions: Cowboys vs. Jets Offense: Expect the Cowboys to continue their aggressive passing game, targeting George Pickens heavily while utilizing the versatility of Jaydon Blue and Javonte Williams in the backfield. Prescott’s ability to read the Jets’ defense will be key in exploiting mismatches. Defense: The Dallas defense will aim to pressure Jets’ QB (or current starter) and the pass rush to disrupt timing. Turnovers could swing the game in Dallas’ favor. X-Factor: Jaydon Blue’s debut may provide unexpected big plays — a spark in both rushing and receiving that could tilt momentum early in the game. Prediction: Cowboys win in a high-scoring affair, 31–24, with Prescott throwing for 3 touchdowns and orchestrating key drives in the fourth quarter. As Cowboys Nation gears up for the game, one thing is clear: the team is hungry, confident, and ready to show the league that the sky really is the limit.
