Carolina Panthers star Adam Thielen has created special “Grinch” themed shoes for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers.

Thielen walked into Bank of America Stadium carrying the hilarious Nike Cleats, with fluorescent fur on the toes, heels and around the laces.

The wide receiver was later seen wearing them on the field as he went through warmups ahead of the Christmas Eve showdown.

“You know I got the Grinch cleats,” Thielen told the cameras as he walked into the stadium — as “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” played in the background.

He hopes to help the 2-12 Panthers build on last week's win over the Falcons when they take on the 6-8 Packers on Sunday.

In the stands of Bank of America Stadium, a Packers fan was also dressed as the Grinch – the Dr. Seuss character whose mission is to steal Christmas.

The NFL has been inundated with custom cleats in recent weeks following the most recent “My Cause My Cleats” campaign.

Texas quarterback CJ Stroud wore cleats with “#REFORM” and “Free Pops” stitched on the side as a tribute to his incarcerated father.

Coleridge Bernard Stroud III is currently serving a prison sentence of 38 years to life after pleading guilty in 2015 to charges of sexual abuse, robbery, kidnapping and carjacking, all related to a drug-related incident.

Stroud's father has been in prison since Stroud was in high school and is serving his sentence at Folsom State Prison near Sacramento.
