Nike Lunar Superbad Pro

Player: LeSean McCoy
Team: Philadelphia Eagles

LeSean McCoy was busy last season juking through defenses on his way to 1,607 rush yards and his first NFL rushing title. McCoy was perfect for Chip Kelly's hyper-quick offense, which got him the ball in space and let him do his thing. Shady is so quick his feet usually look like a blur, but on super slo-mo replays you may be able to pick out his dark green Nike Lunar Superbad Pros.

Nike Alpha Pro 3/4 TD

Player: Adrian Peterson
Team: Minnesota Vikings

Like many running backs, the key to Adrian Peterson's season will be his health. Even though he returned from an ACL tear to have one of the most dominant seasons for a running back ever, he has been nagged by injuries the past couple of years. Peterson will be wearing his Nike Alpha Pro 3/4 TD, a popular choice among running backs. The shoe features flywire technology to wrap the foot and keep it stable, hopefully helping AP stay on the field and tear up defenses.

Nike Vapor Talon Elite

Player: Marshawn Lynch
Team: Seattle Seahawks

Is there any guy more fun to watch? The powerful, candy-loving running back will be doing it again this year in the Nike Vapor Talon Elite. His player editions are awesome, but he makes any colorway look good. The hyper fuse construction provides lightweight stability so Beast Mode can bounce off defenders and get into the end zone.

Reebok Zig Blaze Mid

Player: Jamaal Charles
Team: Kansas City Chiefs

Charles has the ability to take any run to the house. His combination of speed and cutting ability means that he can run through defenses untouched. The sole Reebok wearer on this list, Charles will look good juking safeties in his red Zig Blaze Mids.

Under Armour Highlight MC

Player: Eddie Lacy
Team: Green Bay Packers

Lacy claimed the Rookie of Year award last season wearing Under Armour Highlight MC. The lightweight cleat helped him reach double digit TDs and 1,000-plus yards last season. His production and work rate make him a good bet to be a top tier running back for years to come.

Nike CJ81 Elite TD

Player: Reggie Bush
Team: Detroit Lions

Reggie Bush has had a career renaissance in Detriot. After struggling for years in New Orleans and Miami, Detriot gave him an opportunity. He delivered with over 1,000 rush yards, and runs that recalled his college days. Perhaps wearing teammate Calvin Johnson's signature shoe, the Nike CJ81 Elite TD, helped his cause.

Nike Alpha Pro 3/4 TD

Player: Matt Forte
Team: Chicago Bears

I think it's time we finally admit it: Matt Forte is one of the top all-around backs in the NFL. His combination of soft hands, power, and blocking prowess allow him to excel in every facet of the game. His Nike Alpha Pro 3/4 TDs give him enough speed to get away from tackles, with a slightly higher cut to keep him upright.

Under Armour Nitro Diablo Mid

Player: Arian Foster
Team: Houston Texans

Adrian Foster is one of the most skilled backs in the league. The question mark coming into this season is whether he can bounce back from serious back surgery to show his pre-injury form. If he can continue to dominate in his unique Nitro Diablo Mids, it should bode well for the Texans, who sorely missed his production last season.

adidas AdiZero 5-Star 3.0 Mid

Player: Demarco Murray
Team: Dallas Cowboys

Demarco Murray drives defenses crazy with his ability, and fantasy owners crazy with his injury luck. Murray has been nagged by injuries to his ankles, wrists, and knees, all in his first three seasons. When he is on the field, he is a force. In his super light AdiZero 5-Star 3.0 Mids, he can run around, through, and over defenses.

Nike Alpha Pro Low TD

Player: Giovani Bernard
Team: Cincinnati Bengals

As an elusive rookie last season, Bernard showed the ability to break away from defenses. Wearing the low version of the Alpha Pro TD, Bernard looks to get more carries and more opportunities to make something out of nothing this season.
