I guess Tebow is the only one with a clean enough record for Nike to endorse.

Nike unveils new Tebow shoe
Published: Tuesday, July 13, 2010 at 5:54 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 13, 2010 at 5:54 p.m.Already with a top selling jersey and the cover of a video game, Tim Tebow is one of the NFL's most marketable players despite not yet taking a snap for the Denver Broncos.Now, thanks to EA Sports and Nike, fans of the former Florida quarterback can literally walk a mile in his shoes with the EA Sports x Nike Trainer 1.2 Tim Tebow NCAA Football 11 Player Editions that were unveiled this week to coincide with Tebow's appearance on the cover of the popular NCAA Football 11.The limited edition shoes are made of blue synthetic leather with an orange midsole and green accents. Perhaps the most interesting part of the shoe is the word "PROMISE" on the left heel with the date "September 27th, 2008" printed below it, marking the day of Tebow's famous postgame speech following a 31-30 loss to Ole Miss that many fans look at as the catalyst behind the Gators making a run to capture the BCS Championship on Jan. 8, 2009. As an added treat, Tebow's speech is printed verbatim on the insole of the shoe.On the right heel, the shoe features the year marking Tebow's Heisman Trophy (2007), the years Tebow won the BCS title game (2007, 2009) and his All-America years (2007, 2008, 2009). The shoe also has the EA Sports logo on the tongue and "NCAA 11" in green and white letters across the velcro strap.The shoes will be released in "extremely limited quantities in the very near future," according to Solecollector.com.Tebow has a multi-year deal with Nike that he signed before being taken with the 22nd overall pick in April's NFL Draft.--
