The highly-anticipated Home Run Derby doesn’t start until 8 P.M. but we already know New York Yankees studs Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez win for style.

For the next four days, the New York Yankees can’t blow another late-game lead. They get some time off. However, Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez are ready to roll in the Home Run Derby tonight.

This morning, some of the gear they’ll be sporting tonight has been leaked on the internet. And when it comes to Judge and Sanchez, they’ve clearly got style.

ESPN Sports Business Reporter Darren Rovell posted about Judge’s cleats on Twitter, including a picture of the red-hot Under Armour cleats themselves. The high-top shoes boast a red and white theme and are likely a size 24 because, well, it’s Aaron Judge.

The shoe fits perfectly for Judge, who is the Yankees and all of baseball’s Superman this season. The only difference is, Judge has no kryptonite.

Sanchez opted to get a bat made specifically for him and it looks…well, see for yourself.

It is absolutely incredible. He will be wielding this scepter in all of his Kraken glory and we’ll be there to witness it.

Can you imagine the flash of this bat as it pummels through the zone, cranking home runs at every contact point? Yeah, it’s going to be epic.

El Gary may be in a slump right now but if anything can get him out of it, it’s definitely this bat. It was made for him.

What are your thoughts on these Yankees accessories for the All-Star Game?

My thoughts? These are some pretty stellar pieces and even if neither wins the Home Run Derby, at least they’ll lose in style. Where can I get these?
