My Cleats My Cause

December 2, 2025

Steelers players can often be seen wearing custom cleats during pregame warmups, but this week against the Buffalo Bills custom cleats will be the norm during the game.

For the 10th straight year the NFL is allowing players to represent a charity that touches them deeply in a unique manner with the league’s player cause initiative, My Cause My Cleats.

Linebacker Payton Wilson Caf Momentum

Payton Wilson is one of several Steelers supporting Caf Momentum, an organization the team became involved with through the Social Justice Program. Caf Momentum Pittsburgh opened in 2023 as a place where Pittsburghers can go and enjoy fine dining. But moreso, it offers a culinary internship to teens 15 to 19 who are justice-involved. Caf Momentum, which originated in Dallas, provides a transformative experience through a 12-month paid post-release internship program. Participants rotate through the restaurant, focusing on life and social skills, coaching and development.
