With a combined 48 home runs this season, Colorado Rockies Sluggers Carlos Gonzalez and Trevor Story are currently putting their power on display at New York's Citi Field in a series against the Mets. Part of a league-wide trend, both stars are warming up pre-game in sneakers that aren't baseball or training-specific — namely the Nike Kobe 11.

Gemini Keez got up close with Gonzalez and Story's sneakers ahead of yesterday's game. CarGo is rocking a multicolor "Northern Lights" version of the Kobe 11, while Story is going with a not-so-traditional Rockies palette.

Behind a strong all-around performance and Gonzalez home run, the Rockies won yesterday's game 6-1.
