adidas Baseball celebrates the revolutionary career of Jackie Robinson with two special cleats for Jackie Robinson Day on April 15th. The adidas Afterburner 2 and Energy Boost Icon 2 each get special premium makeovers featuring graphics that include Jackie himself sliding into second base and newspaper style headlines from his game-changing career on and off the field. Each also features heather wool paneling inspired by the wool uniforms players wore in the 1940s, while Robinson’s universally retired #42 is embroidered at each medial heel. Each special edition cleat will release April 15th in limited quantities at adidas.com and be worn by adidas-sponsored MLB players on Jackie Robinson Day.
