Bryce Harper will be enjoying his ninth All-Star Game selection this year, staying home in Philadelphia. In celebration of his selection, the Phillies first baseman unveiled his 11th signature cleat with Under Armour on Tuesday.
Harper first signed with the brand in 2011, 10 months before his MLB debut, and then inked a 10-year extension in 2016 that was the largest endorsement deal in baseball history at the time, with Harper signing another deal with the company in January 2026.
The 33-year-old first baseman debuted the news ahead of Tuesday's series opener against the Cincinnati Reds, where Philadelphia looks to build on one of the more dramatic turnarounds in recent memory.

The Phillies started 9-19 under Rob Thomson before the club moved on from him, then went 41-22 under interim manager Don Mattingly and are now holding a wild card spot in the National League.
Under Armour's baseball account announced the cleat Tuesday, tying the design directly to Harper's adopted hometown.
The new cleat pays tribute to Philadelphia’s SEPTA transit system with a colorway named "All Lines Lead Home." The design uses orange, blue, red, light green and purple to represent the city’s different rail and trolley lines, with a route map printed on the tongue and the 215 area code worked into the pull loop.
The release lines up with next Tuesday's All-Star Game in Philadelphia at Citizens Bank Park, the first time the city has hosted one in 30 years. Commissioner Rob Manfred named Harper the game's "Legend Pick," making it his ninth All-Star selection and third as a Phillie.
