At least one player will be shining bright when Major League Baseball season wraps up in mid-September, in preparation for the World Series. Julio Rodríguez of the Seattle Mariners, who became an Adidas athlete in March 2023, will then begin wearing Swarovski x Adidas Adizero Impact+ baseball cleats.
These will have Swarovski crystals sprinkled all over the upper. In addition to draw of glitter on an autumnal field, Adidas will be getting some e-commerce attention, as the cleats will be on sale at its own webshop – or at least 44 pairs of the limited edition.
This is not the first Adidas team-up with Swarovski on a limited-edition pair of shoes. Four years ago the two companies collaborated for the 50th anniversary of the Adidas Superstar. Nor is this the German brand’s first foray into the luxury market. Like others, Adidas has done shoe collaborations with Prada.
