Xander Bogaerts Sporting Custom 'X-Man' Wolverine-Inspired Cleats For Opening Day
BOSTON (CBS) -- Will Friday afternoon be Xander Bogaerts' final Opening Day as a member of the Red Sox? That's not a thought that most Boston baseball fans want to ponder on this unofficial holiday.
Instead, they can feast their eyes on a pretty sweet set of kicks on the starting shortstop's lower body when the Red Sox kick off their season at Yankee Stadium.
The Red Sox' Twitter account shared some close-ups of Bogaerts' cleats ahead of first pitch. Check them out:

That is, without a doubt, some solid cleat heat.
Elsewhere on the roster, catcher Christian Vazquez has gone a different theatrical route with his cleats:

Footwear fashion is not lacking for the Red Sox at the start of their season.
