Mike Trout played in his first spring game today, and WPW was there to see him debut—with a new glove. Trout dropped Nike and went back to the glove he wore when he first stormed into the MLB in 2012, the Rawlings Trap a la Griffey. This time, Trout gets […]

BY BEN STOCKTON The long reigning king of athletic footwear has dominated in baseball since the 90s. With the rise of Ken Griffey Jr’s mythic superpowers along with a smattering of other superstars like Hideo Nomo, Kenny Lofton, Alex Rodriguez, and Derek Jeter, Nike captured the lion’s share of the […]
2016 MVP Mike Trout just received some very special custom Trout 3s, done by Recon Northwest, to celebrate his 2nd MVP (before his age 25 season). Trout has finished 1st or 2nd every single year he’s been in the league. Has that ever happened before? Good grief. Let me gush briefly. […]

The Nike Lunar Trout 2 hasn’t gotten any airtime this postseason, which is kind of sad. I feel like the people deserve to see it in some more exciting colorways so we can really see Mike Trout’s new cleat at its best. Luckily, so does Nike. They recently published images […]
