Ben Felderstein With Mother’s Day just around the corner, adidas Baseball recently unveiled a fully customizable version of the adizero Afterburner cleat through the brand’s miadidas platform. Mother’s Day and baseball go hand-in-hand, as players from all 30 Major League teams put their normal gear aside and swing pink bats and lace up pink cleats to spread awareness for the fight against breast cancer while honoring the women that helped groom them into the men they are today.
To fully show what the personalization platform is capable of, Yankees slugger Aaron Judge and the Three Stripes teamed up to create a special edition cleat inspired by his mother’s favorite snack. To thank his mother for her support throughout his life, Judge sends his mother chocolate covered strawberries on a regular basis. This special edition cleat comes with a “Mom” banner wrapped around the decadent treat on the tongue as well as a matching sockliner with her initials. “Thanks Mom” can be found inscribed on a custom set of laces to tell the story of his mom running onto the field to tie his cleats for him during a tee-ball game.
Detailed images of Judge’s special Mother’s Day cleats are shown below, and baseball players out there looking to design there own pair can do so right now at adidas.com for $120 USD.
