Shohei Ohtani’s Latest New Balance Signature Collection is Available Now
Published
The MLB wasn’t prepared for Shohei Ohtani, who, after joining the league in 2018, shook up the world of baseball by becoming the first two-way player (someone who both pitches and hits) in decades. Not only has he joined this elite company, but he is only one of four active MLB players with a signature sneaker (or cleat), his New Balance FuelCell Ohtani model. After a few releases and a recent New Balance 990v6 release, Shohei and New Balance have prepped a slew of sneakers and apparel.
Ohtani’s latest New Balance Signature Collection includes two FuelCell Ohtani 1s, one cleated and one for training, a RCVRY Slide, and a Minimus Trail v2. The two FuelCell Ohtani’s are identical (aside from the tooling setup) as they feature a pale cream upper with blue and red accents. The midfoot N splits between navy and royal blue on the lateral and medial sides, while SO1, New Balance text, Ohtani’s logo, and an NB emblem are done in blue and red.
As for the off-the-field offerings, Shoehi has his colorway of the RCVRY Slide, a foam-based slip-on with white foam construction and navy accents. These navy hues are on the forefoot strap, which features Ohtani’s logo, depicting him rounding the bases, and an NB logo. Finally, the footwear is complete with a Minimus TR v2, a training sneaker, as the model is done in a similar cream, navy, and red color palette that contains hits of Shoehi’s signature logo.
On top of the sneakers, apparel has been created. This includes hoodies, mesh tees, cotton shorts, performance tees, sweaters, and traditional t-shirts. All come in varying monochromatic color schemes, including white, red, and navy, while Ohtani’s signature logo is emblazoned front and center on the tops. The clothing will release at a later date.
Shoehi Ohtani’s Spring/Summer 2025 New Balance Signature Collection is available now through New Balance and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the footwear prices are as follows: $160 (FuelCell Ohtani 1 Cleat), $120 (FuelCell Ohtani 1 Trainer), $55 (RCVRY Slide), and $135 (Minimus TR v2).
