Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch was once again wearing his flashy gold cleats as he took the field for pre-game warmups prior to Sunday's Super Bowl XLIX against the New England Patriots.

NFL officials spoke to Lynch and Seahawks general manager John Schneider about the footwear, and Seattle's running back changed out of the gold cleats prior to kickoff, according to FOX Sports' Mike Garafolo

Lynch was also wearing the shoes before the NFC Championship Game until the league reportedly threatened to eject and suspend him.
