With the Pittsburgh Steelers facing the Miami Dolphins on the road Sunday, Antonio Brown plans to pay tribute to two deceased Miami athletes on his cleats.

According to TMZ Sports, Brown, a Miami native, will be wearing custom cleats featuring Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez, who was killed last month in a boating accident, and boxer Kimbo Slice, who died of heart failure in June, during pregame warmups.

Brown was reportedly forced to remove his Muhammad Ali cleats during the Steelers' Oct. 9 game against the New York Jets.
