Matt Varga PE basketball shoes and football cleats may get a bit more news coverage, but don’t sleep on what baseball players pull out of the closet. Names like Jordan Brand’s Aaron Judge continually trot out major cleat heat, but adidas’ latest allows you to bring some flash to the diamond without any brand hookups – if you’re willing to pay, that is.
The Three Stripes is rolling out a Swarovski-coated version of their adizero Impact cleat with a whopping $440 price tag. The crystalline detailing chiefly comes atop the outer shroud, embedded within Three STripes branding but also outlining the shoe on the mudguard and at the collar. Ensuring an all-encompassing luxury atmosphere, “Light Purple” & “Ice Lavender” are the choices for the palette, especially resplendent when applied on the pearlescent-like outsole.
The price tag may just prompt you to keep these as a collector’s item, but these remain true to the adizero Impact’s performance tooling as well. Lightstrike Pro cushioning and support meet metal cleats to guarantee on-field performance on top of the evident aesthetic bonafides.
While performance wear is a rarely explored vertical for the crystal company, this lines up well with their foothold in the world of sneakers. Upcoming pairs like the Swarovski Jordan 1 Low and Swarovski Air Max Plus elucidate their continuing connection to the Swoosh, but they’re well-familiar with adidas as well, last linking up for a Superstar, Stan Smith and Rivalry Low in 2020.
The Swarovski adidas adizero Impact drops exclusively via adidas.com on September 17th, carrying the aforementioned $440 price tag. Check out a full gallery of official images just ahead.
