What are you waiting for?
The guy is 22 years old and he already has two runner-up finishes for American League MVP. He gets to play center field every day for the Angels and live in Southern California. He's still revered in his beloved hometown of Millville, N.J.And let's not forget that he recently signed a six-year, $144.5 million contract extension and will be ready to hit the free-agent market for his next deal at age 29.billige nike kvinder sko udsalg
Not bad, right?
So you'd think he'd be unfazed by any new developments in a life that's shot way past Hollywood and all the way into the sports celebrity stratosphere. Seriously, what more can the guy accomplish? Aren't all the accolades pretty boring by now?The answer to that last question was a resounding "No" on Friday, when Trout's mind was blown all over again.nike dunk sko engros online
Nike had created a signature cleat for him, the Nike Lunar Vapor Trout, that the fleet outfielder and representatives from the famed sports equipment and apparel company were showing off Friday before the Angels' 7-3 win over the Texas Rangers a few miles down the freeway at Angel Stadium.
The shoe was newsworthy in itself: a red and fluorescent yellow wonder of aerodynamics that had been almost two years in the making after numerous consultations between Trout and a team of more than 30 biomechanics experts, designers and innovators working in concert at Nike's Oregon headquarters.billige nike sko damen online
The moment was significant, too, in the annals of sports and pop culture. Trout became only the second baseball player (Ken Griffey Jr. was the first) to have his very own signature shoe line with Nike. That's a big deal in a big industry, and it's a big deal for a big-time talent like Trout.
"Everything that I wanted in a shoe, they made it happen," Trout said after entering a room full of media members to the strains of laid-back electronic dance music while a video of his on-the-field highlights played."Now that it's here, it just gives me chills looking at it right now. I mean, I'm speechless."nike fabrika satis danmark
Trout said when he was approached by Nike a few years ago, he told the shoe's designer, Matthew Pauk, and Nike's global product line manager for baseball cleats, former independent league outfielder Cameron Shick, that his goals for the ideal Mike Trout cleat were simple."Speed is my game," Trout said. "I wanted to take it to the next level."
That meant it had to be comfortable and it had to be lightweight, and, as Pauk described, it also had to adhere to perhaps the most elusive and difficult challenge of all when trying to satisfy an athlete in his early 20s."He always leaves us with a little sound bite when we leave him," Pauk said. "Like, 'If I look good, I play good.' And, 'Make it hot.'"
They did, and Trout was effusive in his praise for the work of Pauk and Shick in doing just that. The look of the shoe turns heads, to begin with, with the aerodynamic ridges on the outside of the cleat that almost look like the scales on, well, a trout.nike schuhe steckdose online
The human Trout also raved about the comfort, which is achieved primarily with the lightweight Nike Lunarlon foam midsole, the "booty" concept in which the ankle is surrounded by a form-fitting sheath after the foot goes into the shoe, a four-way stretch mesh inner sleeve, and the Nike Flywire technology that enables the foot to be "locked down" with cables that go from the top of the cleat to the split Pebax speed plate on the bottom.
