The cleats will be worn during Minnesota’s Dec. 8 home game
versus Detroit.
“This partnership with the 3M Open is about so much more than
just sports,” said Rudolph. “It represents the power of partnership
in working towards a cause greater than ourselves. I am incredibly
thankful to the 3M Open for its generous donation to Kyle Rudolph's
End Zone and for its ongoing commitment to improve lives in our
community.”
This past July, Rudolph served as ambassador for the inaugural
3M Open to help advance the tournament’s charitable efforts and
event theme of Golf That Matters. The 3M Open donated more than
$1.5 million to local charities through the 3M Open Fund, including
$600,000 to pillar partner M Health Fairview, University of
Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital. Kyle Rudolph’s End Zone is a
therapeutic patient care space located on the lobby level of the
hospital.
The cleats were brought to life by well-known NFL shoe artist
Dan “Mache” Gamache, who created a design that resembles the iconic
exterior of the children’s hospital.
“The hospital building has an eye-catching treatment and I
wanted to match that vibrancy on Kyle’s shoes,” said Gamache.
Gamache also applied a 3M patented black reflective film on the
cleats by using 3M™ Scotchlite™ Reflective Material - C790 Carbon
Black Stretch Transfer Film. This technology is currently being
used in active wear to enhance visibility in lowlight conditions
and will help to illuminate the logos on Rudolph’s shoes. This will
mark the first time that C790 Carbon Black reflective technology
has ever been highlighted on an NFL cleat.
