Philadelphia Phillies
Complete coverage of the Fightin' Phils and their MLB rivals from NBC Sports Philadelphia.
If you are interested in purchasing a pair, the shoes will be available on Thursday, May 30, 2024, at Lapstone & Hammer and Creme 321, then on June 1 at the New Era Phillies Team Store and other select boutiques.
On Thursday, May 30, people were already lined at Lapstone & Hammer to get their hands on the kicks.
NBC10 spoke to Joey Valenzano from Atlantic City, who showed up Wednesday night and was the first person to get the shoes.
"More the camaraderie more than anything. Once we all started sitting down and chatting and stuff like that, it's really what it's all about," Valenzano said. " It's just meeting people, talking as much as possible, just seeing where people are coming from and what we are all here for."
The shoes retail at $135 and they are "Phanatic approved" and will be available via Nike SNKRS app on June 18.
