What cleats does Mike Trout wear?
Mike Trout’s most recent cleats, the Nike Force Zoom Trout 8 Elite, were leaked in a blurry video on social media. These top-of-the-line cleats retail for $130 and feature a lightweight mesh upper with “Double stacked Air Zoom” in the forefoot and an Air unit in the heel. The plate is made with a weight-saving lattice design, which is the same as the Trout 7.

For those looking for a more affordable option, Nike will offer an $85 “Pro” version with less expensive materials. The cleat has a midfoot “stroud” designed to keep dirt out, and it comes with the same plate and Air unit as the Elite version.

The Nike Force Zoom Trout 8 Pro MCS is a plastic bottom version of the cleat, which comes with a synthetic leather upper and independent plates for the forefoot and heel. The MCS retails for $70, almost half the price of the Elite version.

His latest cleats offer premium materials, top-of-the-line technology, and a sleek silhouette. Whether you’re a fan of Trout or just looking for the best cleats on the market, the Nike Force Zoom Trout 8 is certainly a great choice.

After 4 years working in the advertising industry and 2 years in sports journalism, Pablo currently works at a Marketing Consulting firm on top of his role at Sportskeeda. He believed in sourcing information only from reliable sources, and refrains from including any opinionated content in his articles.
Pablo was introduced to baseball as a kid by his grandfather, who even coached him in Little League for a year. A massive Boston Red Sox supporter, he ended up becoming a fan in an attempt to be original (as his parents are Yankees fans). Pablo also supports the Diablos Rojos from the Mexican league, his hometown team.
His favorite players of all time are David Ortiz and Derek Jeter, while his current favorites include Fernando Tatis Jr., Ronald Acuna Jr., Alex Verdugo and Randy Arozarena. His favorite moment as a baseball fan was when the Boston Red Sox won the 2018 World Series Championship, as he was too young to remember 2004.
A huge sports fan in general, Pablo's non-baseball interests include football, basketball, American football, and motorsports (F1, IndyCar and Nascar), music and cinema.
