SEATTLE, Dec. 28 (UPI) -- Nike released photos of custom-made shoes designed for Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch with his famous Skittles habit in mind.

The shoes, which Nike pictured on its @usnikefootball Twitter account, celebrate Lynch's famous habit of popping a handful of Skittles into his mouth after every touchdown by picturing the fruit-flavored candy on the sides of the shoes, Seattlepi.com reported Wednesday.

Lynch was wearing the shoes Saturday when he rushed for over 100 yards against the San Francisco 49ers defense. The 49ers won the game 19-17.
