Ross Dwyer The baseball season begins Thursday and adidas is making waves right before Opening Day by announcing a multi-year partnership with bright young star Aaron Judge. The Yankees slugger, who belted a whopping 52 home runs (a rookie record) and won the American League Rookie of the Year award in 2017, will be one of the the new faces of adidas Baseball alongside certified superstars Kris Bryant and Carlos Correa. Judge will collaborate on the designs of future footwear, apparel and equipment for adidas Baseball and stated that the brand “has a ton of momentum and everything the brand is doing right now stands out from the rest and challenges the status quo. I couldn’t be more excited to be joining the adidas family,” said Judge. “I’ve been a fan of adidas for a long time and from the beginning of our conversations, this just felt right to me. I never dreamed of an opportunity like this and I can’t wait to see what we create together” in a recent adidas press release. Is an Aaron Judge x adidas signature cleat on the way? We’ll have to wait and see. In the meantime, check out two brand-new colorways of adidas’s Swift Run Primeknit.
