Kris Bryant has custom shoes with Wrigley ivy on them
Hello and welcome to the future where you can get just about anything turned into a shoe. In advance of the games the Dodgers played in Australia to open the 2014 season, relief pitcher Brian Wilson got him some cleats with pictures of koalas and kangaroos on them. Then Travis Ishikawa tried to make himself cooler by rocking Mike Trout's spikes and Andrew McCutchen wore cleats that looked like they belonged in Fort Knox.
Now, Cubs super prospect Kris Bryant has raised the bar with custom shoes prominently featuring Wrigley Field's infamous ivy.

Bryant took home the offensive MiLB Player of the Year award after posting a .325/.438/.661 slash line and hitting 43 home runs across Double-A and Triple-A in 2014.
With that kind of success -- and the probability that he'll make the Cubs' roster right out of Spring Training next season -- it's only a matter of time before the Red Sox are passing out Green Monster T-shirts at Triple-A Pawtucket and McCovey Cove beanies are a requirement for all Giants prospects.
