Shoes for the game might have a nice surprise to them.

the real question is, if the shoe changes when you take a picture of it, how do they get the 'before' picture of the shoes? mind = blown.

I think it takes some sort of flash. Step away from the ledge, NOW.

No, I just didn't know what you were talking about. I wouldn't diss you for Hunger Games (I've never read it).

OK, so it's some sort of coating on the shoes that reflects enough light to get picked up by close range flash cameras.

They should have put that coating on the black helmets, so it went back to the regular white helmet/red N in close photos.

My guess is unless a photographer decides to snap some close-ups of players feet from a close distance, you won't see this effect in any shots taken using those zoom lenses.

It will pick up light from the lights on the stadium ad probably even the sun, just have to be at the right angle. I have multiple pairs of shoes with this stuff on them in some form, even a couple fully covered, and its pretty sweet.

Suppose it could have been worse. Just think if Pelini's sweatshirt was made this way and when the cameras or lights hit it, it looked like a sweater vest?

Not to be pedantic, but I think it happens in direct light. So it would happen at any distance given a strong enough light source, or a certain filter (maybe like polarized sunglasses?). Which also explains why they appear dark grey in some photos, since certain parts of the shoe are receiving the right angle of light.

I just showed the pictures of the shoes to my wife and explained they're wearing their alternate uniform with the black helmet and she said "Oh so they're going to be the Lady Gaga of college football now"
