It goes without saying that MLB has the best All-Star game compared to every other major sport. But does baseball also have the best footwear? Usually, we would say no, but all the sneaker brands brought the heat to Arlington, Texas.

The American League beat the National League 5-3 on Tuesday night, and there were plenty of highlights. Best of all, there were lots of memorable cleats worn during the Midsummer Classic.

Below is Sports Illustrated's list of the ten best cleats worn during the 2024 MLB All-Star Game.
