2009
wasn't the most eventful year for Gary Sheffield as he hit .276 with
10 home runs and 43 RBIs for the New York Mets in only 100 games. He hit
his 500th home run that season but that’s not what this
article is about. This article is about the shoes the Tampa-native rocked. Sheffield wore his player exclusive Air Jordan 9 cleats that year in the Mets
colorway.

Go
look at any picture of Sheffield through his playing days and you
would know he had some of the best cleats in MLB history dating back
to his Marlins days when he wore the most gaudy, stylish pair of
Reebok cleats I have ever seen.
He
was a pretty darn good player, a 9-time All-Star, 5-time Silver
Slugger and a world champion in 1997 with the Florida Marlins. He had
a very good career hitting 509 career home runs and might be on his
way to Cooperstown but for weird people like me who love looking at
pro athletes footwear he is already in the sneaker Hall of Fame.
Still trying to figure out the info on those Reeboks he wore with the
Marlins. In the 90's Sheffield, Ken Griffey Jr. and Frank Thomas were like the first guys
who made cleats look cool so he is a pioneer in that regard.
