Nike is dropping a pack of Cortezes inspired by the baseball diamond to mark the beginning of the MLB season. The two colorways each feature a sandy beige taken from infield dirt, which contrasts with hits of black. The premium kicks also come with a shoe-bag and commemorative, baseball-inspired accessory pins (pictured). America’s Pastime may not be at the top of your to-watch list — especially with the Final Four kicking into high gear and all — but these kicks are definitely worth a second look.

Check out the shoes above and be sure to keep an eye out when the pack drops on March 31.
