MLB Star Bryce Harper Unveils Exclusive Cleats Inspired by Wawa Partnership
Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper, in collaboration with convenience store chain Wawa, recently introduced a new line of player-exclusive Under Armour cleats unveiled during Wawa’s annual HoagieFest event.
The cleats, dubbed the ‘Gottahava Harper,’ were showcased by Harper during a matchup against the Diamondbacks on a City Connect uniform night.
These cleats are a representation of Harper’s fondness for Wawa, with a special feature being the barcode on the back of the shoe, highlighting Harper’s favorite Wawa summer hoagie, a go-to snack for him before heading to play at Citizens Bank Ballpark.
Under Armour is set to retail Wawa and Harper merchandise at Dick’s Sporting Goods stores nationwide in July, as well as on Under Armour’s online store.
Separately, a McDonald’s branch in Brighton, Massachusetts, extended congratulations to Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum by displaying a message beneath its iconic golden arches, acknowledging Tatum as their customer.
Tatum, along with his son, has been a frequent visitor to this McDonald’s location in recent months, adding a personal touch to the congratulatory gesture.
