This year, the MLB All-Star Game is taking place in our nation’s capital; home to Nationals star Bryce Harper. Bryce will look to show up big (like he did with his Patriotic AF Fourth of July cleats), and honor his home city and team by competing in the 2018 Home Run Derby and the MLB All-Star Game, both taking place at Nationals Park.
To help Bryce pay homage to D.C., Under Armour has designed two different limited-edition versions of the UA Harper 3 cleat – both of which are now available for fans on UA.com.
Under Armour caught up with Bryce recently to ask for his thoughts on All-Star Game and Home Run Derby, his UA Harper 3 limited-edition cleats, what tunes will be on his pre-Derby playlist, as well as food/activity recommends for fans coming into D.C. for the week.
The Home Run Derby colorway shows a prevalent Americana theme, with 50 stars placed across the upper to represent the 50 U.S. States, and a U.S. Constitution script replica on the upper and bottom plate. The UA Harper 3 Home Run Derby and All-Star Game cleats will be available for purchase on UA.com at 10am EST on Monday the 16th.
The All-Star Game colorway features images of the D.C. skyline, including the U.S. Capitol Building, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial and the Jefferson Memorial. The cleat plate features a tranquil water pattern tying back to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, and the sockliner is flooded with the popular D.C. cherry blossoms that bloom from thousands of cherry trees across the District each spring.
