Major League Baseball has a treat for its fans on Thursday evening when the Cincinnati Reds and Chicago Cubs hit the national television broadcasts.
The two NL Central squads will take the diamond in Iowa in the MLB’s annual Field of Dreams Game.
It’s a slick event. The field is cool, the coverage and presentation is unique and unlike any other MLB game throughout the year, and of course, it takes viewers back to the 1989 film Field of Dreams.
But one of the cooler things is how the players’ creative juices get flowing for this particular game. Today, you’ll see some of the best cleats you’ve seen on a baseball field all year.
Check out these customized Nike cleats that’ll be worn by Cubs outfielder Rafael Ortega and Reds shortstop Kyle Farmer.
Is this heaven? No it’s Iowa! 🌾

Both are fire! I’m more of a low-top guy, myself, so I’m rolling with Farmer’s cleats.
And you know how the saying goes: look good, feel good, play good. Should we expect some stellar play on Thursday night to back look?
