Detroit Tigers' starting pitcher and 2015 MLB All-Star David Price is one of the better professional athletes on social media. He gets it. He responds to fans seemingly every single day and also likes to show off his sneaker collection.

Price is a Jordan Brand athlete so he does get the perks your average Joe will never be able to get his hands on.

He tweeted out a photo of the cleats that he will wear in Tuesday's All-Star game. You have to admit this special edition of the Jordan VII is about as good as it gets. Price said it perfectly in the tweet, "Can't get these at dicks!!! Ewwww that's nasty...#allstarjs"

If you think that Price is just looking for attention you are wrong.

He leaves that to his dog Astro. The little guy stole the show during the MLB All-Star parade.

Price also had fun with the selfie bat.

David Price very well might be the all-around coolest professional athlete we have here in Detroit. No one takes more time out for their fans -- or for that matter, no one has a cuter dog. Let's just hope for the sake of fans Price signs a long-term deal with the Tigers.
