i doubt it.
it's not like he's wearing his clipless shoes in his clips. he's wearing sneakers which most likely stick out further than his clipless shoes. so his clip is going to have to be deep enough to let his sneaker slide in far enough so that his foot is still in the proper position in relation to the pedal spindle.
