MLB All Star closer Brian Wilson of the San Francisco Giants is receiving a lot of attention for wearing his all-orange Nike Diamond Elite baseball cleats vs. the Florida Marlins last night, with the opposing team's manager complaining that the shoes were "too loud".
Going hand-in-hand with Nike's monochromatic theme that we mentioned a couple of weeks ago, Wilson's cleats were not a SMU (special make-up) for him but rather part of a special "Boom Pack" given to certain Nike players MLB All Star weekend.
The pack included the Diamond Elite cleats, two pairs of Nike sunglasses (Victory & Skylon EXP), Diamond Elite batting gloves and "Beats by Dre" headphones. More pics of the pack on Eastbay's blog.
Apparently, the cleats didn't distract the Marlins hitters in the ninth inning; Wilson got the save, but only after giving up a home run to fellow Nike endorsee Dan Uggla.
