PHOTO: Mike Trout unveils new customized trout cleats
Mike Trout is rocking some new swag.
The Los Angeles Angels outfielder unveiled his new cleats on Friday, which feature some familiar imagery. Just below the laces is a trout - the fish - that upon closer inspection looks like it's getting baited by the famous Nike swoosh; an image of the human Trout sliding sits just below.

Although the spikes - known as the Nike Lunar Trout 2 - are pictured here in blue, they will also be available in Angels red. The kicks look pretty good, especially when attached to the fleet-footed 2014 American League MVP.
