Steve Smith Shows Off Purple Cleats For Domestic Violence Awareness

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, which is why some players have been wearing purple accessories, including Steve Smith Sr. whose new, purple kicks say, "Break the silence."

The wide receiver made his feelings known about New York Giants kicker Josh Brown, who was placed on the commissioner's exempt list after the NFL reopened its investigation into Brown's domestic violence arrest.

Artists solesbysir designed a pair of cleats for Smith saying, "Enough is ENOUGH. Thank you to @aceandsmitty who gives me the opportunity to paint cleats like this." You can see the cleats here.
