Meet Ex Cowboys QB’s Talented Daughter Responsible for J.J. McCarthy’s Custom Jordan 1 Cleats for Rose Bowl 2024

J.J. McCarthy is set to showcase a unique pair of cleats during this year’s CFP semifinal at the Rose Bowl. McCarthy intends to don custom Air Jordan 1 PEs featuring rose prints on the back of each heel in the matchup against the Crimson Tide. These special custom-curated cleats have an interesting story, being their inception and origins. 

The pandemic years were years of great change and have left a lasting impression on each of our lives. While few changes might have been adverse, many were for the better. Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Jon Kitna’s daughter, and Michigan guard, LaDarius Henderson’s wife, Jada Kitna Henderson could capitalize on a chance and turn her passion into a full-fledged business enterprise during the challenging years which has Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy as its newest endorser. 

Henderson’s art conquers the world of sports 

J.J. McCarthy’s custom sneakers in question have been curated by Jada From The Block, Jada Kitna Henderson’s pandemic baby. It all began when, while serving as the Dallas Cowboys’ quarterback coach in 2019, Jon Kitna informed Dak Prescott about his daughter’s talent in customizing shoes. Intrigued by the idea, Prescott later reached out to Kitna when contemplating personalized Air Jordan 1 shoes as Christmas gifts for his friends. “We sent them to her, and she blew it away,” Prescott later recalled.

In the summer of 2021, Prescott signed a deal with Jordan Brand, pledging to sport different Air Jordan cleats for the forthcoming Cowboys’ season. However, owing to COVID-related supply chain challenges, he received plain white and black cleats. Despite supply chain challenges, Jada transformed plain cleats into unique designs for Prescott. Impressed by her work, Prescott continued collaborating with Jada, whose custom shoe hobby turned into a full-time job as she shared her creations on social media.

Jada From The Block takes the NFL world by storm 

Henderson, based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, has expanded her clientele to include several Cowboys players, like All-Pro DE/LB Micah Parsons, Pro Bowl WR CeeDee Lamb, RB Tony Pollard, WR Michael Gallup, S Donovan Wilson, CB Jourdan Lewis, LB/S Markquese Bell, WR Jalen Tolbert, and OL Chuma Edoga.
