Displayed is a pair of 2023 Luis Matos San Francisco Giants Adidas game used, signed, and inscribed rookie cleats. Matos is a center fielder who played in 76 games in 2023, batting .250 in 228 at bats, with two home runs. As of this writing in 2024, Matos is batting .240 for San Francisco with a pair of home runs. Each of the cleats has an interior tag near the ankle that reads 10 1/2 for size. The cleats are not in traditional colors, to say the least, with the main coloring in peach, orange, and purple. The Adidas name and logo, in purple, is on the front of each shoe. "ADIZERO LIGHTLOCK," in purple, is machine-printed on each instep. Three four-sided purple markings are embroidered on the outside of each cleat. The laces are orange. Using a fine tip black marker, Matos signed the outside toe area of each shoe along with inscribing "23 Game Used Rookie Year." The cleats have been photo-matched for two 2023 games: 1) July 5th (Getty 1506093743), a game at the Giants' Oracle Park in which San Francisco won 2-0 against the Seattle Mariners. In the game, Matos played center field and batted seventh. He was 2-for 3, with a triple and a walk, and he had a putout in center field. 2) July 24th (Getty 1562714716), in which Matos played center field in an away game in Detroit at Comerica Park and batted fifth. He went 1-for-3, with a double and one putout in center field as the Giants lost a 5-1 game to the Tigers. The shoes exhibit heavy wear, and they were most likely worn for more games than the listed two photo-matched contests.
