Key Details
- Odell Beckham Jr.'s famous one handed touchdown catch against Dallas happened on Sunday Night Football in November 2014.
- Beckham wore No. 3 earlier in the 2026 offseason before switching back to No. 13 ahead of Week 1.
- Nike's 2019 pregame cleat series for Beckham pulled colorways from shoes already in his own sneaker collection, including the “Galaxy” Air Foamposite One.
Odell Beckham Jr. is back with the Giants for the 2026 season, and he is once again wearing No. 13. He wore No. 3 for part of the offseason before switching back ahead of Week 1, and the Giants opened the season against the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football at MetLife Stadium on September 13. It is the same building where Beckham’s diving one handed touchdown grab against Dallas became one of the signature plays of his career, back in November 2014.
Beckham has built a reputation over the years for lacing up some of the most talked about cleats in the NFL, mixing custom pairs, player exclusives and one off designs into his game day rotation. The most extensive stretch came during the 2019 season with the Cleveland Browns, when Nike designer Erin Cochrane and her team built Beckham a new pregame colorway of the Nike Vapor Untouchable Pro 3 OBJ Uptempo Cleat nearly every week, each one pulling directly from shoes already sitting in his personal sneaker collection. JustFreshKicks has tracked plenty of vault inspired reissues over the years through our sneaker release dates coverage, and Beckham’s cleat closet reads like its own retro rotation, going back to the Nike Vapor Untouchable Pro 3 that honored “The Catch”.
The Nike Vapor Untouchable Pro 3 OBJ Uptempo Cleat Design
A few of those weekly colorways stand out from the run. The debut pair took its color scheme from the 2011 Air Yeezy 2, and later weeks referenced the 2012 “Galaxy” Air Foamposite One with its outer space graphics, the LeBron 8 “South Beach” in teal, pink and black, and a Travis Scott Air Jordan 1 in “Dark Mocha” and “Sail” that saw the design team mirror the cleat’s OBJ lettering to nod to the reversed Swoosh on Travis Scott’s original pair. One week skipped the Nike archive entirely, dressing the cleat in a flooded brown built from the Browns’ own team color instead. Beckham also wore pregame pairs referencing the “Fresh Prince” Air Jordan 5 and the “Shattered Backboard” Air Jordan 1.
Why Is Odell Beckham Jr. Wearing No. 13 Again?
Beckham wore No. 3 for part of the 2026 offseason with the Giants before switching back to his familiar No. 13 ahead of Week 1.
