San Diego Padres: Friar Faithful

Project Type

Custom Shoes and Cleats

Date

May 19, 2022

I designed two pairs of kicks for San Diego Padres players: a pair of Jordan 13 sneakers for Manny Machado and a pair of Adidas Adizero Afterburner 8 NWV cleats for Fernando Tatis Jr.

Fernando Tatis Jr., known by his fans and friends as El Niño or Bebo, is a Dominican shortstop and outfielder for the Padres and Manny Machado is third baseman and shortstop for the Padres.

These cleats and shoes commemorate their time in Major League Baseball and help them stand out from the pack in style.

Machado's Jordan's and Tatis' Adidas cleats both center around the team colors brown, gold, yellow and white and feature the Padres' logo, the players names/nicknames and Jersey numbers. Tatis' cleats boast a portrait of the athlete and Machado's kicks honor the Friar Faithful -- steadfast fans of the Padres. “Padre,” of course, is Spanish for “Father” or “Friar” and the name stems directly from the priests who established the first Spanish Missions in California in 1769. The Padres are often referred to casually as “the Friars.”
