Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher A.J. Burnett will sport custom-made Batman cleats from 3N2 on the mound at Great American Ball Park in Tuesday’s All-Star Game.

“Self expression is important to me,” Burnett said in a 3N2 press release. “When I’m on the mound I want there to be no mistaking who I am and what I’m out there to do. 3N2 has given me the freedom to fuse my personality with my game.”

The 17-year major league veteran is a first-time All-Star, named to the National League team by manager Bruce Bochy.
