Heisman winner, ex-NFL player Eddie George's KSO Vibram Five Fingers seen on Celebrity Beach Bowl
By Justin Owings on Feb 26, 2010 | In general | 1 comment »
The 4th Annual DIRECTV Celebrity Beach Bowl was on February 6, and if you missed it, you likely missed ex-NFL player (Tennessee Titans and Houston Oilers) and Heisman Trophy winner Eddie George playing football in his black KSO Vibram Five Fingers.
Fortunately, Phillip was on the case and snapped the above photos capturing George kicking up sand and dominating the field in his Vibrams!
It's a little known secret that professional athletes are wearing Vibram Five Fingers for training. I won't say who, but at least one NFL star has contacted me trying to get his feet in some KSO Treks and I've gotten word a few MLB players wear them, too. Alas, most of these players are under contracts with sports shoe titans like (ahem) Nike.
Anyway, great to see Eddie George sporting KSO Five Fingers on the big screen! VFF on!
About the Author — I founded BirthdayShoes.com in April 2009 on realizing just how much I enjoyed having "free feet" - I mostly wanted to use them for weights, sprints, and plyometrics (I'm not much of a runner!). I'm a Googler by day and minimalist footwear aficionado by night; you can find me 'round Atlanta.
