NIKE lunar vapor trout
the NIKE lunar vapor trout redefines the balance of speed and power in baseball and embodies the future direction of the game. informed by trout’s own insights, the NIKE lunar vapor trout is designed for the directional speed needed to steal more bases, get to more balls in the outfield, and get out of the batters box quickly. equipped with a durable, lightweight NIKE lunarlon foam midsole for comfort, the cleat features a split pebax speed plate for ultra-responsive movement across the field. the midsole also informs a lively aesthetic that captures the spirit of trout’s game and NIKE vapor technology – sleek, modern, athletic, and extremely fast.

 

 

 

 

 

 

‘the biggest challenge for us was balancing the performance characteristics of the shoe. just as mike does with speed and power, we had to strike the perfect balance between lightweight and comfort, and i think we achieved that with the NIKE lunar vapor trout.’ – matthew pauk, NIKE baseball designer.
