While there hasn’t been anything new from Griffey since he joined the White Sox, a new batch of Nike Air Swingman Remix PE’s have hit the field.  First up is Jimmy Rollins:

The red / grey / blue version debuted last night in LA… they seem a bit over the top considering how little blue is in the Phillies’ away uniforms (it’s just the stars).  The blue accents work a little better in the alternate uni PE (bottom right) and the new home PE he broke out this past weekend (top right), and Rollins has still been mixing in his original red / white / silver PE throughout the past few weeks (middle right).  If anyone has seen any better photos of the new home PE’s, let me know.

The other recent Swingman Remix player exclusive cleat belongs to Orlando Hudson…

It was unclear whether or not his previous pair of Remixes were a player exclusive model or not (they looked exactly like one of Junior’s pairs, and might be similar to one of the retail colorways that we haven’t seen yet).  The pair pictured above has Sedona Red accents that perfectly match the Arizona uniforms, so this is clearly a PE.  Unfortunately, we won’t be seeing these again any time soon… as you can see, Hudson is injured — he dislocated a bone in his wrist and will miss the rest of the season.  Hopefully Rollins stays healthy; with Carl Crawford also hitting the DL this week, this might be the start of a Swingman Remix curse.

As a side note, the Chicago Cubs recap post will be coming later tonight or tomorrow morning.  The Cubbies are getting absolutely hooked up on the PE front in 2008, so it’s kept me working pretty hard.  Stay tuned…
