Nike’s goal of this shoe was to make something that was iconic on the field. The important thing was bringing in Max Air for the first time into the sport of baseball. It has lots of cushioning, it is a nice ride.
What makes this shoe special is, we start from the bottom with the power channel outsole plate, with the nine spike configuration that Nike has proven and tested over the years, which really works for changing direction, breaking and lateral movement. What is also special is the full length file and midsole under your foot with the Max Air cushioning in the heel. It has instant comfort off the shelf. It has the same thing from an uppers stand point. It is real clean, high in synthetics and light weight. As you move up the foot you also have a support piece for support when moving laterally. The game of baseball is all about those quick bursts. This shoe will hold that athlete on the plate on the cushioning system so they can really take advantage of it. This product is iconic, clean and fits perfect right out of the box.
The shoe also has a welded TPU strip above the toe to add extra stability and durability. From a toe drag stand point you get a little extra wear on the toe. There is also a toe cap for creating that extra bit of protection.
The lacing is a quick lace system to lock you down together with the dynamic foot to fit. There is also a supplemental foam in the heel to help lock you down as well.
This shoe has been tested on college and professional ball players to fine tune the product before it hit the shelves.
From a color standpoint, Nike went away from the standard colors and added a little attitude. They have nine colors to chose from all together.
Customer Reviews
“My cleats are the most comfortable cleats that I have ever owned. They are light so it feels like I have nothing on my feet. They are extremely easy to clean and they always look sharp no matter what. I like how they look no matter what I do and I don’t mind wearing them like I did with my other cleats.”

“We play alot of baseball and they have stood above the other pair of nike cleats. They were very uncomfortable the first week or so. After that they were amazing. They look bad and I hope nike doesn’t stop.”

“The mid top shoe is the cleat of choice here. We play 60 plus baseball games a year. Injuries are not acceptable. The mid top helps support the ankle and Nike by far is the best shoe we have ever used!”
