Mets star Francisco Lindor takes stylish strides with New Balance's Lindor 2 sneakers

New York Mets infielder Francisco Lindor has started preparing for the upcoming season, and he did so in style. He recently posted a video on his Instagram handle with him practicing in New Balance's FuelCell Lindor 2 sneakers.

In the video, Lindor can be seen flaunting his new signature sneaker in collaboration with New Balance. He is also seen making efficient plays at first base, highlighting the athletic level of comfort in this variant of sneakers.

"Ready for Spring Training with the New Lindor 2 in Grey," Lindor captioned.

The sneaker is available in three different variants: Comp ($129.99), Metal ($119.99), and Pre-Game ($109.99). These variants are distinguished based on the type of spikes they come with. The Comp variant comes with composite spikes, the Metal variant comes with metallic spikes, and the Pre-Game variant has a flat surface with no spikes.

The sizes are available from M5/W6.5 to M15/W16.5. According to the New Balance webstore, the description of the composite variant of the shoe is as follows:

"Engineered specifically for baseball, the New Balance FuelCell Lindor 2 Comp features an innovative 9-spike composite plate to help provide optimal traction on both turf and natural surfaces. FuelCell foam gives the baseball cleat a propulsive underfoot feel, while the upper is made with comfortable synthetic material. Speed lace combined with a hook and loop strap, provides lockdown fit and a sleek look.

"For pitchers with excessive toe drag, we recommend using a toe-protection product to extend the life of your cleat."
