Bryce Harper's Under Armour Contract Has Expired

In a TikTok video, Harper took batting practice in Travis Scott's Air Jordans. A fan asked Harper if that meant he left Under Armour, and Harper replied, "Free agent in the apparel/footwear category right now buddy."

This is major news for the footwear industry, as Harper was the face of Under Armour baseball. Harper initially signed with Under Armour in 2011 before inking a historic 10-year extension in 2016. His contract extension with Under Armour was the largest endorsement deal in history for a baseball player at that time.

In 2015, Under Armour launched Harper's tenth signature cleat - the UA Harper 10 Pro. Even better, the brand always followed up with similar training shoes for the Harper signature line.

Meanwhile, Harper dazzled sneakerheads with his cleat rotation on the field. He regularly debuted player-exclusive and custom colorways that highlighted his city, team mascot, interests, and even rivalries with other teams.

Under Armour has struggled financially in recent years. In December 2025, The Baltimore Banner published a lengthy story chronicling the company's problems. The piece stated that Under Armour's stock was trading around $4.50, about half of what it was a year ago and one-tenth of its high last decade.

It is possible that Harper and Under Armour could reach a new agreement. If not, Harper instantly becomes the largest free agent in baseball footwear world.

Harper is also one of the biggest sneakerheads in MLB, and the 33-year-old remains a fan favorite. He could move on to a partnership with a new company or follow in Curry's footsteps and have a fun season of sneaker free agency.
