We’re well into the full swing of the MLB season at this point. In fact, July’s just around the corner, and you know what that means: the All-Star Game. And, for the third year in a row, the premiere of Mike Trout’s next signature shoe.
Behold, said sig: the Nike Air Zoom Trout 3. The new model continues Nike Baseball’s quest to create the most innovative cleat imaginable for Mike Trout, purveyor of MLB’s most freakish skillset.
Harnessing and enhancing Mike’s strength and speed, the Trout 3 boasts a distinctive ridged upper, seamlessly transitioning into a bootie-like collar and supportive heel-counter. Flywire locks in the foot without compromising range of motion, while visible Zoom Air cushioning peeks out at the heel, promising an explosively responsive ride.
An intriguing evolution of the Lunar Vapor Trout 1 and Lunar Trout 2 — you can see a clear design progression — the Nike Air Zoom Trout 3 releases July 8, retailing for $150 a pop. All of the pictured colorways are part of the All-Star Game-inspired collection, so aesthetics are likely to depart a bit from this pack.
