Army All-American Bowl players to debut adidas Chromaflage cleats
These days what you're wearing in a game and how you look is almost as important to some players as they actually perform. Look good, play good so to speak.
With that in mind, the U.S. Army All-American Bowl features many of the nation's top high school football players this week in San Antonio and the athletes on both sides will be wearing new cleats unveiled by adidas.

Just like college players whose teams play in bowl games at the end of the season, these prep stars get quite a haul of equipment and other swag when they arrive for practices. The game will be played Saturday at 1 p.m. (EST) and televised on NBC.
