Ronald Acuña, in custom New Balance 4040v5 cleats ($100 via Baseball Express), became the second player in MLB history to join the 30-30 club before the age of 22. The other: Mike Trout. The paint job was done by @solesbysir and here’s Acuna seeing the cleats for the first time: […]

Jose Altuve has welcomed the New Balance 4040v5 cleat to his locker, wearing a silver metallic and white colorway of the cleat in games while also mixing in the older 4040v4s. The 4040v5 is lighter than its predecessor by 0.3 ounces, but is it better looking? What do you think? […]

New team, new shoes. After some time hooping in Jordans in San Antonio, an offseason trade to the Toronto Raptors meant a new beginning for Kawhi Leonard. The beginning of the 2018-19 NBA season saw Leonard rock the same Jordan 32 Lows he’d been wearing dating back to the prior […]

These cleats are wild and I love every single thing about ’em. Francisco Lindor made his 2019 debut in these player exclusive versions of the New Balance Cypher 12.
