ARLINGTON, Texas – BYU mascot Cosmo the Cougar wore a pair of custom Nike Air shoes during the opening day of the Big 12 Conference’s media days for football.

The league’s media days are being held at the home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys, AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, from July 12-13.

BYU’s beloved mascot attended the event along with football head coach Kalani Sitake and a group of Cougar players.

Cosmo sported BYU’s all-royal look with blue pants and jersey. However, the mascot pulled out a unique pair of shoes for BYU’s first event as a member of the Big 12.

The Nike Air shoes worn by Cosmo were white with fur, featuring royal blue Nike “Swoosh” logos and a BYU’s “Stretch Y” logo.
