All eyes were set on the T-Mobile Park in Seattle yesterday for the 2023 Home Run Derby and Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts took advantage of the spotlight by wearing a special Air Jordan 1 Cleat PE colorway.
Los Angeles Dodgers’ Instagram account @Losdodgers shared images of Betts on the field during the Home Run Derby yesterday while wearing his Nike Air Griffey “Freshwater”-inspired Air Jordan 1 Cleat PE.
Betts Air Jordan 1 Cleat PE “Freshwater” dons a predominately black-based upper that’s offset by teal overlay panels as a nod to the Seattle Mariners’ team colors. The sneaker also comes with white shoelaces, a white mini Swoosh logo at the forefoot and a cleat for the outsole.
