Kids who come to Tribe Fest will have the opportunity to design and color their own pair of custom cleats on a blank cleat template. At the end of Tribe Fest, Clevinger will pick his favorite cleats to then be made for the winner by Hrusovsky Custom Kicks.
Hrusovsky will be on site during Tribe Fest, designing a pair of custom cleats for Mike Clevinger, while kids are coloring their own designs. Hrusovsky has also worked on cleats for RHP CARLOS CARRASCO and 2B JASON KIPNIS.
