Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes launches a signature shoe with Adidas

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes announced via Twitter that he has a signature shoe — the Mahomes 1.0 Impact FLX.

Mahomes dropped his new solar green shoe by Adidas in a video on his Twitter. He wrote that the shoes were "years in the making."

"I've dreamed about this since I was a little kid," Mahomes wrote in the tweet.

Adidas said in a press release that the quarterback worked with them throughout the process, even helping to create his own signature logos, which include a gladiator mask with secondary logos of wavelengths or a heartbeat and a clock turned to 2 p.m.

Adidas said the mask represents the "warrior mentality" of Mahomes, while the clock at 2 p.m. is based on the nickname he was given as "Patrick Mahomes the Second" and represents "never-ending attention to time and the value of his time."

“The gladiator mask in my logo represents the mindset of making an impact every single day," Mahomes said in the release. "Whether it’s training in the gym, on-field practice or a game day – that’s always my mentality."

The shoe company studied Mahomes' style of play when designing the signature shoe and addressed areas where the MVP football player needed traction and support the most, according to the release.

"Grounded in cleat movements and optimized for turf, the resulting training shoe is built both to perform on the field and stand out on the street," the release said.

The decision for the "Go Time" green color was based on a traffic light.

The quarterback said that he wanted his shoe to stand out and be eye-catching on and off the field.

The shoe will be $130 and will be available at adidas.com starting at 2 a.m. on Aug. 23.
