Nike has unveiled the Nike CJ81 Elite TD cleat for one of the most dynamic athletes today in modern football.

Supplying the perfect cleat for a 6'5", 236 lb wide receiver with phenomenal standards was no easy feat. It requires gear that combines the dynamic fusion of natural movement-inspired construction with a lockdown supportive system and a hybrid collar, all to accomodate Johnson's explosive style of play. The result manifested in Calvin's signature cleat, the CJ81 TD, which introduced a lightweight proprioceptive collar, dynamic midfoot arch strap, diamond star pattern upper, and a full-length speed plate made of that now-famous Pebax material.

The Nike CJ81 TD is available today at Nike.com.
