The New England Patriots certainly aren’t letting the Atlanta Falcons forget the result of Super Bowl LI ahead of their rematch at Gillette Stadium on Sunday.

Nike on Thursday released the Air Force 1 Low Superbowl 51 Comeback, a sneaker commemorating the Pats’ 34-28 overtime win. The shoes are made from two footballs used in the actual game and feature the Patriots logo, the Super Bowl LI logo, game details and actual football laces.

According to a press release from Nike, the sneaks will be on display at The Hall at Patriot Place on Friday and Saturday and at Gillette during the game Sunday. They’ll be auctioned “at a later date” and all proceeds will go to the Boys & Girls Club of Boston.

The Patriots and Falcons face off at 8:30 p.m. ET on “Sunday Night Football.”
