Nike Force Zoom Trout 6 Cleats
Mike Trout and Nike have released his sixth signature cleat, the Nike Force Zoom Trout 6 cleat. This time around Trout didn’t hold back when it came to his signature shoe. He dove right in with everything he wanted to see on this cleat. His focus was to give back to the younger generation and really create a cleat that would hit home with them as well as make them the best player on the baseball diamond.
“I held in my feedback for those first meetings, but it was more because I didn’t know Nike could make the smallest changes based on what I wanted. If there was some seam on the cleat I didn’t like, I could change it, or if there was a feature from a past cleat I wanted to bring in, I could do it. Looking back, I should’ve been more vocal from day one.” - Mike Trout
The Five-Tool criteria for Trout’s perfect cleat were:
Comfort “It starts as soon as you put it on. You need to be able to play and not worry about your feet bothering you.”
Weight “You obviously can’t have heavy feet out there during play. Linear speed is a critical part of the game.”
Flair “Does it look good? I’m big on feeling confident in a certain look.”
Durability “A comfortable cleat needs to last. You can’t have a cleat break down after wearing it for a week.”
Personal Details “There are details on a cleat that people might not see on camera, but are incredibly personal to me, like the area code to my hometown. A big component for me is when you can present a cleat to someone and build a story around it.”
Look for the cleat to be on sale July 5th along with a turf version.
