Celebrating Independence Day, adidas unveils a new red, white and blue colorway of the Energy Boost Icon that MLB players will debut on Friday.
The all-American cleat features three red, white and blue stripes and a reflective red to blue fade electroplated outsole plate. Atlanta’s BJ and Justin Upton, Oakland’s Coco Crisp and Philadelphia’s Chase Utley will be wearing the cleat.
Introduces last month, the Energy Boost Icon is the first adidas non-running shoe to feature Boost. Designed for five-tool players, the cleat features shockvent windows for maximum ventilation and an external heel clip for peak stability.
