Footwear Friday: Practice makes perfect with Nike’s Air Elite PreGame Training Shoes

Click for big

As we’ve said before, you can’t overstate the importance of a good set of cleats.

Proper footwear will not only reduce the risk of injury, but it will also improve your performance on the field. With better traction, less resistance, supported ankles and comfortable feet — you’ll always be at your best on gameday.

And on training days, it’s just as important.

That’s why it’s key to wear softball-specific training shoes, like Nike’s Air Elite PreGame Training Shoes. These softball training shoes are designed to handle the stresses that softball players put on their footwear while in the cages, doing speedwork or in the weightroom.

Nike’s Air Elite PreGame Training Shoes feature a rubber outsole for the right amount of grip on a variety of surfaces, everything from the cages to wet grass.

The Nike air cushioning in the heel makes for a comfortable ride, and the lightweight material (13 ounces per cleat) makes these cleats ideal for running. While the synthetic leather upper provides provides durability, support and a custom fit, tailor-made for softball players.

While these softball training shoes are ideal for workouts, they’re also great for pregame warm-ups, coach’s shoes and umpire’s shoes. We’d wear them to a wedding, if we could get away with it.
