Capo Status

We know you’re all focused on the Final Four, but with opening day approaching, we figured we’d send you off this weekend with a baseball-inspired style feature. Check out this Jumpman Jeter Vital, a sneaker combining a turf and field trainer, all with the Yankee’s captain specific needs captured in the design cues. The Jordan team has seen some dudes fall off in the past (Darius Miles, Roy Jones Jr) but Jeter’s one of the original members of MJ’s squad when it was first put together in 1997. For a more detailed understanding of the sneaker peep some of the key features that went into the construction of the shoe:

• Shoe inspired by Batman as Jeter is similar to Bruce Wayne
• New Jeter logo on tongue of shoe
• Glow in the dark forefoot painted wing
• Toe cap is reinforced to mimic a steel protective toe cap
• Four stripes on the heel pull tab represent the four World Series victories.
• Jeter wing poster on sole of shoe with quote “Respect Earned When No One is Looking”
• #2 on sole of shoe (Jeter’s number)

Think we’re slobbing DJ a little too much? Maybe you’re right, but we do have to give it up to Derek, he pulls major tail, keeps his nose clean, and puts in work on the diamond. Who knows, maybe the shoes have something to do with it.
