Bryce Harper and all of the MLB are back in action as Opening Day last week saw just about every franchise take the field for the first official game of the 2025 season. The Phillies superstar has been signed to Under Armour for over a decade and is currently on his ninth signature cleat, the Under Armour Harper 9. Under Armour has created a Phillie Phanatic-inspired pair, following a Florida-inspired colorway for Spring Training.
Harper has had a solid relationship with the Phillie Phanatic since he joined the team in 2019, and this pair draws direct inspiration from the beloved mascot. On top of the lime green, blue, and pink color palette nodding to the mascot, multiple Philly-themed charms are found on the lacing setup. Included in this is the city’s iconic skyline, boxing gloves, and the Liberty Bell, while nods to the Phanatic and Harper are found via the four-wheeler, Harper’s number 3, and some of his favorite phrases, like “We Don’t Care” and “Jawn.”

Back on the heel, a golden foil design displays Harper’s and the Phanatic’s love for one another with the logo “#1 BH Phan.” Final details include a custom-designed insole featuring Harper and the Phanatic. The UA IntelliKnit upper comes paired with a UA HOVRTM and EVA-cushioned midsole with grippy spikes on the outsole.
The Under Armour Harper 9 Phantastic Cleat will release via early access to UA Rewards members on April 8, 2025, while the public release will occur on April 11.
