Remember the "Dipped" adidas adizero Afterburner 3s we previewed yesterday? They'll be worn during the MLB All-Star Game in July, but it looks like they're not the only colorful cleats on deck for the Midsummer Classic.

As New Balance prepares to unveil its 3000v3 cleat, the brand took to Twitter share a preview. "Options are endless... wait until you see what we have in store this July," New Balance tweeted alongside a set of colorful shoe laces.

Although the tweet doesn't give a full look at the cleats, it seems as though adidas Baseball thought the similarities were too close for comfort, as the brand responded with a series of "thinking face" emojis.

It'll be interesting to see how this one plays out as the All-Star Game approaches on July 12.
