Aaron Judge is in the best phase of his professional career. Having played for over five years, Judge is having his best season in 2022. Though Judge has always been an impressive hitter, he also leads the team very well.
After the retirement of the legendary captain, Derek Jeter, the Yankees have named no one captain of the team. But if someone has come close to Jeter’s legacy, it is Aaron Judge. Even the Yankees slugger himself is a big fan of Jeter.

Aaron Judge and his love for shoes
Recently, Aaron Judge visited a sneaker shop and discussed his shoe collection. While touring the shop, the host showed an empty rack of $50,000 worth of shoes. The host also revealed that it was a Derek Jeter shoe, and someone bought it for paying a huge sum of $50,000.
The host asked Judge if buying a pair of shoes for $50,000 is crazy. Little did he know the Yankees star also loves to buy expensive shoes. He said it’s very light, after all, it’s the captain’s shoes.
“It’s not crazy. You know I have seen the sneaker game grow over the years and especially something iconic like that. The captain man… $50,000, I feel like that’s light…,” Judge said.
The Yankees star also revealed that if he buys shoes worth $50,000, he will only use them to show off.
