Detroit Lions cornerback Amik Robertson is carrying more than team pride onto the field this season … he’ll be honoring the memory of his late friend, Kyren Lacy, with custom cleats in a heartfelt tribute to the former LSU star.
TMZ Sports has learned that Robertson reached out to popular cleat artist Joe Castro just a few weeks before Lions season opener against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.
We’re told Robertson — who signed with Detroit in 2024 — looked at Lacy as a little brother, both growing up together in Thibodaux, Louisiana.
Robertson, 27, was heartbroken when Lacy tragically passed away … and decided to ask Castro to paint Kyren on his Nike spikes for the 2025 season.
“Just glad I was able to squeeze them in the week 1 madness,” Castro told us on Friday. “I’m happy to help with the tribute.”
Castro — who has made cleats for other NFL players like Isaiah Hodgins — referenced photos from Lacy’s three seasons at LSU … where he recorded 17 touchdowns. Castro said the cleat art took him about 6 hours to complete.
Lacy passed away in Houston, TX, on April 12, just days before the 2025 NFL Draft.
RIP
