Shohei Ohtani just made history – again. – and New Balance is proud to be right alongside him. Ohtani secured the 2025 National League Championship Series MVP after a record-breaking postseason game in which he recorded 10 strikeouts, zero earned runs and three home runs.
To celebrate, New Balance Baseball launched a new campaign honoring Ohtani’s poise and power. The imagery showcases his signature combination of calm concentration and fierce intensity – the essence of New Balance performance and craftsmanship. It’s the perfect intersection of balance and aggression to encapsulate Ohtani’s standout game.
As the global ambassador for the brand, Ohtani is redefining what it means to be a 21st-century athlete. He’s a transcendent talent both on the mound and at the plate – a two-way superstar whose discipline and versatility are empowering a new generation of fans and athletes. The partnership between New Balance and Shohei Ohtani is about more than just performance excellence – it’s a global story.
Fans can now join in on the fun with the New Balance x Shohei Ohtani Collection, a range of apparel and footwear inspired by his game-day style and work ethic, now available on NewBalance.com.
