The Buckeyes have worn custom Nike LeBron cleats before. In 2016, the Buckeyes wore Zoom Soldier 10’s in the double-overtime victory over Michigan. The team sported all-scarlet Soldier XI cleats in a 2017 win over Penn State.

The highly-anticipated match between rivals could decide which B1G team gets a spot in the College Football Playoff. The Buckeyes are looking for revenge after losing 42-27 in Ann Arbor in 2021. That loss led to the Buckeyes missing the College Football Playoff and the Wolverines getting in.

The two rivals will kick off Saturday, November 26, at Noon Eastern on Fox.
