When the Chiefs play the Dolphins on Sunday in Frankfurt, Germany, at least one player will be wearing the national colors of two nations.

Rookie wide receiver Rashee Rice had custom cleats made for Sunday’s game, and one shoe is red and white and has stars representing the states of the United States. The other has the schwarz, rot und gelb of Germany (black, red and yellow).

The cleats were created by Greco Paintworks, which shared a video on Instagram of the shoes being made.

“Rep’n both sides of the pond this weekend,” Greco wrote on the post.

What do you think of these cleats, which Rice will be wearing at Deutsche Bank Park?

Rice, who was the Chiefs’ second-round pick in this year’s draft, has 30 catches for 361 receiving yards and three touchdowns this season.
