The San Diego Padres lost 3-2 to the San Francisco Giants on Friday. During the game, right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. wore a special pair of Under Armour Curry 4 cleats. He hit one home run and drove in one run.
A “lemon ice” main base and a metallic gold finish make up the boots. Curry also wrote by hand along the bottom of the shoe the Bible verse Philippians 4:13: “I can do all things through Christ…” The guard puts the same Bible verse on each pair of sneakers he wears to games.
Tatis Jr., who is 25 years old, has a big collection of cleats. He has played in a number of special pairs of Air Jordan retro shoes in the past. He wore City Connect Jordan shoes that were based on the jewelry brand Tiffany & Co. last Saturday against the Giants.
Tatis Jr. is hitting.297 so far this season, with three home runs and six RBIs.
