Much to our chagrin, the NFL season has finally come to a close. Luckily, an unforgettable year ended with one of the best Super Bowls ever. Even better, the campaign featured many of the best footwear moments in the sport's history.

It should come as no surprise that Nike and Jordan Brand dominated the list. However, the influx of old-school basketball shoes turned into cleats created some incredible highlights for the sneaker community. Below is the FanNation Kicks' list of the ten best cleats from the 2023 NFL season.
