These remarkable cleats, worn by Jeter during the 2004 season, are a testament to his storied career. Manufactured by Jordan, these size “11.5” black cleats with white trim are not only a symbol of Jeter’s athletic prowess but also a piece of baseball history. The player number “2,” embroidered on the outside ankles of both cleats, signifies Jeter’s iconic jersey number, while “DJ2” graces the tongues, adding a personal touch to these exceptional items.
