Kris Bryant has come a long way from his tumultuous MLB debut in which the Twitter-verse, essentially mocked him for his struggles. Fast forward nearly three months later, and Kris Bryant has exceeded expectations and has become a cornerstone for the much maligned Chicago Cubs franchise. With the All-Star break already upon us, adidas baseball and Kris Bryant have teamed up to unveil a special edition cleat for his Home Run Derby appearance.
The adizero Afterburner 2.0 Uncaged Bear cleat is the model featured as this innovative silhouette employs adidas’ patented SPRINTFRAME technology, along with the LITESTRIKE EVA foam midsole for added performance functionality. From a design standpoint, this model features hues of Cubs blue throughout the upper, while incorporating a white underlay and accents of red throughout.
To see this model in-person, well, sort of “in-person,” check out the 2015 Home Run Derby on ESPN tonight at 8pm ET.
