First-Half Recap: Boston Red Sox
Up until this point, these recaps have been dominated by Nike… I’m happy to bring some attention to the other brands, and the Sox are one of the most diverse teams in the league in terms of footwear branding. The cleats below are the models that have been worn by Manny Ramirez, Jason Varitek, Julio Lugo, Dustin Pedroia, and Jonathan Papelbon:
As always, larger versions of the above renderings can be seen in the PE Gallery… more info on all of these models (and a couple others) after the jump.
Red Sox-Yankees Weekend Series Cleats
Sox-Yankees games are great for many reasons, but one of the best things about them is that they’re all photographed like it’s the World Series, making for some great footwear shots. Here’s a couple good views of some recent cleats:
Here’s a better shot of the new David Ortiz signature shoe… he wore these during his recent rehab assignment, but they made their MLB debut this weekend. I’m guessing Reebok hasn’t made him a black version yet; he wore his black ‘08 sigs on Saturday.

UPDATE: This model is now available at Eastbay (thanks to rbkguy for pointing this out). It’s called the Big Papi 2M Mid II, and the product image can be seen here.
Easton MLB All-Star Game PE’s
They sometimes get overshadowed by the corporate giants in baseball footwear, but Easton has done some really incredible work over the past few years. They do two things in particular really well: they make a great cleat, and they hook up almost all of their MLB players with really nice looking PE’s.
Dustin Pedroia Mojo Athcleat All-Star PE
As you can see, they really pulled out all the stops for their All-Star Game Mojo Athcleat PE’s. Each shoe featured a self screened Yankee Stadium mural that changes depending on the light, an “NYC 2008″ graphic on the outer heel (with Babe Ruth’s face as one of the zeros), team-colored midsole / upper accents, a chrome outsole, gold cleats, player names by the laces, and player numbers or logos on the heel. Dustin Pedroia’s PE’s appear above; the player exclusives they produced for Hanley Ramirez, Aramis Ramirez, and Cristian Guzman are pictured below.
