Mookie Betts Hits Clutch Homer in Air Jordan Cleats
It is still early May, but that is not stopping one of the biggest rivalries in the MLB from playing like it's October. During Sunday night's nationally-televised game, the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres slugged it out well into extra innings.
Fans at Petco Park would have been happily been able to avoid free baseball if Dodgers right fielder Mookie Betts did not come in clutch with a solo home run with two outs in the top of the ninth inning.
Betts' solo shot sent the game into extra innings, where Los Angeles would secure the victory 5-2. The 6x All-Star possesses a level of tranquility reserved for the most clutch players. Betts' headspace, combined with his skill and swagger, makes him a perfect representative of Jordan Brand.
Fewer than ten active players represent Jumpman on the diamond, and Betts is one of them. During last night's heroic performance, Betts wore player-exclusive Air Jordan cleats designed to match the Dodgers' road uniforms. Below is everything fans need to know about the cleats.

Last night, Betts wore Air Jordan 10 cleats in a player-exclusive 'Dodgers Road' colorway. While Jordan Brand has released a similar model, the Jordan 10 TD Mid, for football players, Betts' cleats are truly one-of-one.
Chalk it up to being one of the best players on the planet. Luckily for everyone else, there are other options. There are affordable Air Jordan cleats in various team colorways available on the Nike website.
After a slow start, Betts and the Dodgers are returning to form as we progress through the second month of the season. Stick with FanNation Kicks to learn more about what your favorite athletes wear on and off the field.
