Jalen Hurts’ Super Bowl LIX wasn’t just a triumph on the field; it was a statement etched in history– and on his feet. The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback led his team to a decisive 40-22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs, wearing custom Air Jordan 11 PEs but little did fans know those cleats had a special message engraved for the NFL star. 

Hurts’ admiration for Michael Jordan is no secret as he partnered with the Jordan Brand in 2023. In fact, he made headlines for wearing custom red and black Air Jordan 1st inscribed with “unbannable,” reflecting his bold choice of fashion despite previously being fined for violating NFL uniform regulations.

For the Super Bowl night of February 9, Jordan customized a pair of special player-exclusive cleats with a unique design and a special engraved message symbolizing his journey and determination that propelled him to success despite facing scrutiny throughout his career.

“Be J.Hurts. That’s Always Enough,” read the message, as Hurts posed with his Air Jordan 11 PEs, via Sole Retriever. 

As Super Bowl MVP continues to thrive on the football field, he’s arguably considered the ‘walking billboard’ for the Jordan Brand. The Air Jordan 11 PEs worn during the Super Bowl symbolize not only his individual success but also the spirit of the Eagles as they strive for greatness.

Being a Jordan Brand athlete, the Eagles star signal-caller also received a special message from the NBA legend Jordan– whose stardom inspired Nike for the separate sneakers line named for him. Right after winning the NFC Championship against the Washington Commanders, Hurts received a message from Jordan and Derek Jeter, expressing their confidence in him for securing the Super Bowl LIX trophy and he stood by that.
