Nike Adds Crocheted Detailing to the Field General 'Crochet/Celestine Blue'
Nikeis adding whimsical touch to theField General'Crochet/Celestine Blue.'
The football shoe trades its traditional leather build for a mesh base and suede overlays — both of which arrive in a soft blue hue. White crocheted detailing land on the panel swoosh, tongue and tag, with more branding found on the tongue tag, special insoles and embroidered Nike heel insignia.
The model rests on a brown midsole and outsole, providing extra traction. White laces tie it together for a neat finish, while the crocheted oversized lace dubraes add a final touch.

Red Sox Insider 'Can't See' Team Allowing Garrett Crochet to Receive 'Huge Honor'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Boston Red Sox have to be happy with their decision to trade for pitcher Garrett Crochet this past winter. Although the team did give up some significant future talent to acquire him from the Chicago White Sox, including top catching prospect Kyle Teel, Crochet has been everything they might have hoped. The southpaw has an American League-best 2.24 ERA in 23 starts so far and leads all of the majors with 13 wins and more than 148 innings so far. He has been durable and received his second straight All-Star nod this year and looks like he could be a steal for the franchise after he signed a six-year, $170 million extension earlier this season. And as Crochet emerges as one of the best hurlers in the sport, he's surely grabbing the attention of Team USA as it assembles a roster for next year's World Baseball Classic.

(Photo by Maddie Malhotra/Boston) More Malhorta/Getty "Obviously, it would be a huge honor," Crochet said of potentially being asked to join the team, according to Chris Cotillo of MassLive. "I'd hope the organization would view it as an honor as well. If I was asked, I'd definitely enjoy participating and I'd love to participate." But while Crochet sees the international tournament as an intriguing opportunity, the Red Sox are expected to see it differently. Historically, Team USA has had a hard time convincing top pitchers to participate in the event, as it raises their chances of being hurt and adds some competitive innings totals to their arms. Though he's proven to be resilient since becoming a starter last season, Crochet has a significant injury history from earlier in his career. And the Red Sox just made a long-term investment in him. As a result, the team might deny him the honor of joining Team USA. "Crochet has said he'd like to be a part of it, but I can't see the Sox signing off — given the number of arm injuries that tend to show up in spring training and Crochet's importance to the franchise," MassLive's Sean McAdam wrote. "Traditionally, the Red Sox have seemed to discourage participation — the last Sox player to take part in the WBC was Shane Victorino in 2013." Given his sustained success this season, Crochet is surely drawing interest from Team USA. And it sounds like he's ready to accept an invitation, though his time will probably intervene.

Shedeur Sanders's debut prompted an instant Nike ad
Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders made an impressive NFL debut on Friday night. Sure, it was a preseason game. He nevertheless went from fourth string to starter — and he embraced the opportunity. His performance prompted an immediate Nike ad. 'Only a matter of time,' it said, via Pat Benson of Time will tell where it goes from here. For now, it's clear he shouldn't have fallen to pick No. 144. He fell because, we were told in the aftermath of the draft, he treated the process as if he were being recruited, not as if he were being interviewed. And that exposes a very real flaw in the apparatus. While it wasn't particularly wise for the Browns to take Sanders two rounds after selecting quarterback Dillon Gabriel, Sanders was available because the league's collective how-dare-you attitude caused him to slip and to slip, and to slip. Yes, it's important for teams to think a quarterback will take the job seriously. But Sanders isn't like other quarterbacks whose perceived nonchalance when interacting with teams means he'll be nonchalant when it's time to practice and to play. In 2014, then-rookie Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel learned on a Tuesday that he'd be starting on Sunday. Instead of buckling down and preparing, he went to the Cavs game. Shedeur Sanders wouldn't do that. If/when he gets a chance to start for the Browns, he'll be ready. Whether and when he gets that chance depends on whether he'll build on his Week 1 preseason performance. On Saturday, the Browns face the Eagles. He'll surely play, if not start. And if he checks the box again, more momentum will build toward Sanders earning the chance to play in a game that counts. The haters will continue to dismiss his performance in the preseason. As we explained on Monday's PFT Live, Sanders showed instinctive traits that will serve him well during regular-season games. Sliding in the pocket. Running away from pressure. Displaying fearlessness by throwing the ball just before taking an inevitable hit. It's easy for some to root against Shedeur. He's easy to root for, too. His success will become an unintended repudiation of the not-so-subtle message that teams send to incoming players. A cautionary tale for future teams that get miffed when a player doesn't assume the position and say 'thank you sir, may I have another?' during the endless 'interview' process that culminates in teams getting dibs on players, with players having little or no control over where the Sorting Hat sends them. And who knows? Maybe after years of bungling the most important position on the field, the Browns may have accidentally stumbled into a player who will become the long-term answer.
