Pete Alonso Was Rocking Sick Polar Bear Themed Cleats at the All-Star Game
By Brendan Azoff
Home Run Derby champion Pete Alonso was not about to lose the spotlight during the All-Star game, and he did so with an impressive fashion statement.
The Mets first baseman, who is nicknamed the Polar Bear due to his tremendous size and power, rocked some amazing cleats that were styled based upon his namesake.

The detail on the cleats is immaculate, as the Polar Bear's head at the toe blends in perfectly with the fur that can be seen going around the edge of the laces throughout the cleat.
But, perhaps the most impressive part is the Nike symbol which is frozen over on the cleats, with icicles hanging off of the checkmark.
