The Kansas City Chiefs are rolling through the 2026 NFL season with ease. During yesterday’s Week 9 matchup against the New York Jets, Patrick Mahomes, who was able to keep playing after taking a nasty hit, connected with star tight end (and Taylor Swift’s husband) Travis Kelce to break an all-time regular season record. During the game, Kelce caught a 38-yard pass, which brought their combined passing and receiving yards to 9,360, surpassing Philip Rivers and Antonio Gates’ 9,352 yards. But before Travis took the field for 72 yards in total and a single rushing touchdown, he rocked some heat from Jordan Brand.
Travis Kelce Rocks the Space Jam 9s
Arriving at Arrowhead Stadium, Kelce rocked a Cleveland Guardians Hall of Fame cap with a Tommy Hilfiger x fragment design jacket, but his footwear choice is the focal point here. Travis laced up the Space Jam Air Jordan 9, the same pair that Michael Jordan rocks in the early parts of the iconic film Space Jam. The movie is currently celebrating its 30th anniversary with a wide-ranging capsule of apparel, collectibles, and, of course, sneakers from Jordan Brand.
Travis Kelce’s Jordan History
Technically, Travis Kelce is a Nike athlete, and over the years he’s been lacing up player-exclusive cleats and the latest heat from The Swoosh. However, the star tight end has been given plenty of kicks from Jordan Brand, including a special Air Jordan 10 Chiefs PE he wore during preseason workouts and Nigel Sylvester’s Brick by Brick AJ 4 ahead of the Chiefs loss to the Eagles in Super Bowl 59.
