Jonathan India Might Have the Best Cleats in MLB

Jonathan India wore Air Jordan cleats in Cincinnati Reds colors on Friday night.

The Cincinnati Reds are way ahead of schedule for their rebuild. This accelerated timeline can be attributed largely to the leadership of second baseman Jonathan India, who is drawing attention from all corners of MLB.

Last night, India hit his sixth home run of the season and made some clutch plays in the infield. Even better for our readers, the 26-year-old reprised his fan-favorite Air Jordan cleats once again.

Throughout the season, India has worn player-exclusive Air Jordan cleats in a black and red colorway that perfectly matches the Reds' new City Connect uniforms. In fact, the only thing bolder than the Reds' new threads are India's cleats.

It seems highly unlikely that India's cleats ever release to the public. But luckily for athletes, there the Air Jordan 1 baseball cleat is available in the low-top and mid-cut models in multiple colorways for below retail price on the Nike website.

Michael Jordan's legendary sneaker line took flight almost 40 years ago, but his first signature model remains a favorite among athletes. Redesigned for the baseball diamond, the Air Jordan 1 cleat features a molded outsole for traction. The durable upper delivers a comfortable yet supportive fit during games.

If you're like us and your playing days are well behind you, Nike still has options to keep you fresh at baseball games. The Reds' new City Connect and traditional gear is available on the Nike website.

Lastly, Reds fans looking for footwear to wear to games can pick up the Air Jordan 1 Low in the 'Alternate Bred Toe' colorway for just $110 in adult sizes. Now is the time to re-up on your gear as space on the Reds' bandwagon is quickly filling up.
