Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow recently came under fire from an unexpected name. Travis Kelce's ex-girlfriend, Kayla Nicole, called him out for his fashion choice.

While the Bengals were defeated by the defending Super Bowl champions in Cincinnati's first preseason game on Aug. 7, the Philadelphia Eagles, Burrow's shoes stole the show.

The quarterback wore a custom pair of Air Jordan 1 Mid "Shattered Backboards." However, what caught many viewers' eyes was the missing iconic Nike Swoosh logo.

Nicole also noticed it. She uploaded an Instagram story featuring a post by Complex, which covered the Bengals QB's cleats.
