David Wright wears Nike Shox Gamer cleats and Nike Fuse N1 batting gloves.
David Wright is now the Mets All-Time RBI leader with 733 (tied with D. Strawberry, but not for long), driving in 100+ RBI in 5 of his 6 full seasons (more than 144 games). Wright, who has a team option ($16 million) for 2013, would obliterate all records for the Mets if they signed him long-term—as many of their greatest players have only donned the Mets blue and orange for a portion of their careers or didn’t sustain the excellence long enough (i.e. Mike Piazza, Gary Carter, Darryl Strawberry, Howard Johnson, Carlos Beltran). Should Wright stay with the Mets, he will most likely finish his career as the greatest to ever wear the uniform.
Aside from the uni, Wright grips his W310 Louisville Slugger with an exclusive Nike Fuse N1 pair of batting gloves (see below for a pic I took).
David Wright's Nike Fuse N1 batting gloves.
The Nike Fuse N1 is a slick-looking glove and there are several styles available online.
As for the bat, we found a forum called Baseball Fever where “BMH” explains Wright’s bat model:
“The W310 is a model made for David Wright. It has a Mc69 handle (Brian McCann model) and a S318 barrel. The Mc69’s knob is a cross between a C271 and a M110. The closest model we offer in store line is probably the S318, it won’t have the flair in the knob though.”
So there you have it, its a hybrid bat which is not available online, but like BMH says, the S318 is your best bet if you want to swing Wright’s bat (below). His is a 34/31.5.
We've used a bunch of these great images from JT Sports (gameusedbats.com).
Though he’s no longer a 30/30 threat, Wright still runs very well in his Nike Shox Gamer cleats. The aways have blue accents and although you can’t get them online, you can get pretty close with the NIKEiD (the back panels on Wright’s are silver, which we couldn’t do with NIKEiD). I’ll tweet the version WPW made once I get to my home computer a little bit later on today. Wright’s home version in the feature photo IS available online.
David Wright is one of many players we’ve seen recently wearing Evoshield, a new form of protective gear that actually molds to your body unlike the traditional foams and plastics. Very cool, and I would imagine it’s a game-changer in that market based on how immediate the adoption by big leaguers has happened. This stuff is very much available online.
