New Balance Men's FuelCell Ohtani 1 Metal Baseball Cleats - MSHOWT1

New Balance Men's FuelCell Ohtani 1 Metal Baseball Cleats

Shohei Ohtani is a true once-in-a-lifetime talent. His world-class skill on the mound, at the plate and on the bases is a combination that's practically unheard of, and it demands a cleat built specifically for the two-way player. The New Balance Men's FuelCell Ohtani 1 Metal Baseball Cleat is that cleat, built to rewrite the definition of on-field performance.

A molded CPU upper stands up to the heavy wear of pitching's repeated toe-drag motion, while a 10-spike plate informed by Shohei's own insight sits closer to the ground for a consistent feel anywhere on the field, regardless of position.

Built for the Two-Way Player

Most cleats are designed for either pitchers or position players. The Ohtani 1 was created using Shohei Ohtani's biometric data and design input to serve both. The durable upper handles toe drag off the mound, the low-to-the-ground spike plate keeps you stable in the box and in the field, and FuelCell foam adds a propulsive feel when you're running the bases.
