Saquon Barkley Nike T-Shirt Viral Reverse Hurdle

Nike is proving to be the king of marketing. After the Philadelphia Eagles' Saquon Barkley's reverse hurdle led the NFL's Week 9 highlights, Nike is now immortalizing the viral moment on a special t-shirt release.

The Eagles running back cemented himself in this season's Play of the Year group with his move against the Jacksonville Jaguars. On a third down pass, he spun and fell backwards over Jaguars cornerback Jarrian Jones. One particular elite athlete caught the world's attention and was particularly excited. Barkley wore the soccer cleat version of the Nike LeBron 4, also known as the LeBron 4 Menace 3, in silver. LeBron James took to his Instagram Story and captioned the moment: “Must be the shoes!! @Saquon you are INSANE.”

The t-shirt unveiled by Nike features the image of the LeBron 4 cleats worn by Saquon, taken in mid-air as Barkley rolled backwards over Jones. The image features the Swoosh's classic “WITNESS” quote, mirrored as a nod to his backwards jump. James himself recently wore a special hoodie version of the moment at one of his games. The t-shirts come in black and white colorways and are scheduled to be available online on November 30th for $35
