While basketball sneakers and football cleats tend to dominate the headlines, baseball players are no strangers to eye-catching footwear. Stars like Aaron Judge, with his iconic Jordan Brand cleats, have made a mark. Now, adidas is offering a chance for fans to add some serious flair to their game without needing a celebrity endorsement—if they’re willing to spend.
Adidas has introduced a Swarovski-encrusted version of its adizero Impact cleat, priced at a significant $440. The luxurious design features crystal embellishments on the shoe’s outer shroud, weaving through the Three Stripes logo and outlining the mudguard and collar. The design is accentuated by a unique color palette of “Light Purple” and “Ice Lavender,” highlighted by a pearlescent outsole.
Despite the hefty price tag, the cleats remain true to their athletic origins. They feature Lightstrike Pro cushioning for added comfort and support, along with metal spikes for on-field performance, ensuring they aren’t just a showpiece for collectors.
Swarovski’s collaboration with adidas, while rare in the performance sportswear sector, aligns with the crystal brand’s foray into the world of sneakers. With upcoming releases like the Swarovski Jordan 1 Low and Swarovski Air Max Plus, it’s clear that Swarovski is strengthening its presence in the sneaker world. The brand last teamed up with adidas in 2020, creating crystal-embellished versions of the Superstar, Stan Smith, and Rivalry Low.
The Swarovski-adidas adizero Impact cleat will be available exclusively on adidas.com starting September 17th, carrying a price tag of $440. Fans can also explore a full gallery of official images ahead of the release.
