New Balance Unveils Francisco Lindor's Second Signature Shoe

Francisco Lindor's second New Balance shoe debuts in 'Summer Storm' colorway.

No one ever wants to wait out a weather delay, but there is one summer storm that fans can get behind. During tonight's Subway Series rivalry game, New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor will debut the New Balance Lindor 2 in the 'Summer Storm' colorway.

"I’m so excited to show off the Lindor 2 throughout the season, starting with the Summer Storm colorway. Having an opportunity to work with New Balance on this update allows me to continue to explore my love of design," said Lindor. 

The 4x MLB All-Star and 2x Golden Glove Award winner continued, "Combining the latest New Balance technology with even fresher designs, you don’t need to choose between performance and style."

The collection features New Balance’s most advanced performance materials, utilizing the brand’s energy return midsole foam, FuelCell. A lively, dual-density, energy returning FuelCell midsole that is amplified in the Lindor 2 with ABZORB cushioning, strategically placed at the heel and forefoot. 

Additionally, the upper features a unique two-strap system that allows move lockdown across the foot and a sliding closure system that fastens in less time than tying traditional laces, which was something that Lindor specifically asked for to meet the demands he has on the field.

The Lindor 2 is New Balance’s most premium baseball offering, combining performance technology with Lindor’s unique style and affinity for fashion. The ‘Summer Storm’ colorway is a fresh and creative spin on the traditional baseball shoe. With sleek grey, a burst of teal, and an eye-catching Pixel Green sole, the design brings a storm of new energy to the baseball category.

“Francisco is uniquely recognized across New York City sports, culture, and community, having quickly become the face of the New York Mets,” Matt Nuzzo, Senior Product Manager for New Balance Baseball. 

“Working with Francisco on updating the Lindor he wanted to ensure it could meet his demands on the field but also something he could wear out after the game. He is truly redefining the future direction and possibilities of the baseball category,” said Nuzzo.

The Lindor 2 Collection will also include a Vintage Puerto Rico, Tropical Fiesta, and other exciting colorways throughout the season in both cleat and pre-game versions. The ‘New Balance Lindor 2 Summer Storm’ will be available across North America in July at NewBalance.com, with the suggested retail price ranging from $110 on the pre-game to $150 for the cleat version.
