Regulations On Players’ Cleats.

Based on a new agreement between the MLB Players Association and the MLB, players will be able to wear cleats as long as they adhere to the following guidelines: Among other things, MLB and the MLBPA have agreed to eliminate the previous rule that the majority of a Players on-field footwear must be in his Clubs designated primary shoe color.

Instead, Players may wear shoes displaying any of the following colors, in any proportion: black, white, and gray; any colors displayed on the Players uniform ; and any additional colors designated by the Players Club.

We believe that this agreement strikes the appropriate balance between the shared goal of permitting players to express their individuality while maintaining reasonable restrictions on shoe colors and designs, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred explained in announcing the new rules.
