The Lunar Vapor needs an Angels fan's artistic touch...
Angels All Star Outfielder Mike Trout took to Twitter on Monday night looking for an artist.
A what? As every Halo Fan knows, Trout is heir to the vaunted Nike Lunar Vapor shoe, the first cleat that MLB has designed specifically for a baseball player since the Portland, Oregon-based shoe company made one for Ken Griffey Jr. almost twenty years ago. It seems that the Nike art department has exhausted the possibilities for the Lunar Vapor.
His missive online Monday was straightforward:
Show me your @NikeBaseball #NikeiD Lunar Vapor Trout game. I’ll wear the winning cleat next year & give you the pair…#futuregetsfaster

Not a bad deal - and the legion of Trout fans who also know a few commands of photoshop took baseball's best all-around player at his word and got to work...

This "road gray" above was retweeted by Mike
Spots seem to be "in" this season, as another artful fan added them to what looks to be more of a "home" cleat...

Wait, it is back to spots again, with what the designer calls a throwback for 4th of July (although it does not look particularly patriotic to this critic's eyes)...
What do you think about these Throwback Day, 4th of July #nikeid #futuregetsfaster Trout Cleat Game… @Trouty20 http://ift.tt/1yWIIqW

And finally, what would be a Mike Trout article without a nod to the city where young Superman's spaceship landed in the early 1990s, Millville New Jersey...
@Trouty20 @nikebaseball #futuregetsfaster "tribute to Millville" last one for now haha http://ift.tt/1yWIGiC

While there are no rules posted about this contest, it appears that there is still time for you to get to the painting studio and create your own masterpiece...
