Sox-Yankees games are great for many reasons, but one of the best things about them is that they’re all photographed like it’s the World Series, making for some great footwear shots.  Here’s a couple good views of some recent cleats:

Here’s a better shot of the new David Ortiz signature shoe… he wore these during his recent rehab assignment, but they made their MLB debut this weekend. I’m guessing Reebok hasn’t made him a black version yet; he wore his black ‘08 sigs on Saturday.

UPDATE: This model is now available at Eastbay (thanks to rbkguy for pointing this out).  It’s called the Big Papi 2M Mid II, and the product image can be seen here.

One of my favorite things about the MLB All-Star cleats is the fact that it’s the only day that players wear colorways that they couldn’t wear otherwise.  They’re able to disregard the “dominant cleat color” uniform rule and wear whatever they want, which means that we’ve seen a lot of white, grey, silver, and non-team colored cleats over the past few years. Even though I’ve always gravitated towards more conservative designs in baseball, I always look forward to seeing the bizarre colorways from the Midsummer Classic.

This year, there were so many All-Star PE’s that I actually had to split the ASG footwear into two posts (new releases post is here).  The top PE’s appear below.

It’s not much of a surprise that Alex Rodriguez wore a white PE of his signature cleat — he’s worn white Shox cleats at the All-Star Game for the past few years.  This PE featured embroidery on each cleat (the date on the shoe above, and “NEW YORK” on his other cleat), and additional views are available here and here.

Albert Pujols wore the most attractive white PE in the game — they’re pretty simple, but they’re my favorite model from last night.  These featured a Nike Air Max MVP upper, a 5-Tool Zoom Air midsole, and a white MCS outsole.  Unfortunately, not too many photos of these were out there tonight… this is the only other decent view I could find.  If anyone has any better shots of these, please get in touch.
