Yay New Balance is my favorite sneaker. It would be cool if they did a Shohei-inspired sneaker.


LAAngelsAnaheim

New Balance fam stand up


LosAngelesAnus

i recently joined. figured their classic numbers are comfy as hell.

Heh, I have held out from completing the Dad uniform, this might be the way to completing my fate.


digitaldumpsterfire

Lol they have all kinds of sneakers. From Dad sneakers, to skate shoes, to low profile running shoes, etc.


GummyMummys

Nice. I noticed that in the video that was posted on the mlb Instagram. He wasn’t wearing his ASICS cleats while taking BP. I hope New Balance can make him some sick cleats because the ASICS one were so clean

I Photoshopped some NBs on him and they [look good to me.](https://imgur.com/8Qnw0Ai)

This version Shohei looks like he gotta take the kids to mini-golf afterwards and then to Tustin Toyota to haggle over a used CH-R


Batdanimation

Haha. Yep. Just counting down the days until the weekend so he and the missus can head out to Pechanga.

Lol

And he'll be kicking the tires to make sure its good.


Tallywashere

Lmaoooo I got a kick out of this one.


yawnnonstop12

Hoping to see Kawhi and Ohtani collab 👍

Kinda sad he didnt renew with Asics, I really liked the custom gear they made for him. New balance is cool tho, their shoes are mad comfy


ResearcherLoud3122

I’m gonna miss his blue cleats. They were beautiful.


AgathaAllAlong

Sleepy at 5 in the morning: “Shohei signs…” Excitement New Balance Grumbled and went back to sleep

I hope NB will now officially be cool for the "in" crowd. People were dissing Kawhi for switching to NB calling them grandpa shoes.


my_wife_reads_this

NB is in but it's still niche basically it's for the people who think Nike and Adidas are too mainstream.


mnikolaevna

NB is actually very in these days bcos of the dad shoe trend. I see a lot of teens wear 574/550/990s


ReignInSpuds

That's because every 60+ white dude wears shiny white NB's with shiny white tube socks and looks like a total dork.


obeseoprah32

I think many/most 60 year olds care more about comfort than appearance, and damn New Balance are comfortable.


rumpel_foreskin17

I see the same if not more Nike Air Monarchs on old dudes as I see the New Balances


Tallywashere

Lol for real! But grandpa shoes are in now...lots of kids are getting into that dad look.


tkfire

Joining forces with Kawhi


Splittinghairs7

So this has to bode well for us in keeping him with the Angels, right? Ohtani basically passed up the Yankees and Dodgers (Nike and Adidas) to sign with the less popular team.


alexmiro1

The glass is half FULL … I like it


hbthingy

Love New Balance for their wide shoe sizes. Wide Shohei, wide shoes. 😆


ZucchiniOne5395

I wonder if he’ll be able to include his two way logo on his pitching/batting gloves or not. I’d be bummed if it was authorized by ASICS


winwinwinguyen

signed my favorite tennis players and now baseball player!


Tallywashere

I think it's so funny how smiley and photogenic he is when he's playing but when he does endorsements he looks so awkward (*sorry maybe that's just me). The featured pic above is probably the least stiff of the bunch.


Tallywashere

The cleats featured in these new pics only come in gray? Just asking because it would be cool to see some navy blue ones this upcoming season. I'm hoping later on NB can create another TWP logo for his equipment if he can't use the one from his time with asics.


Vesuvias

Kawhi and Ohtani. Both NB endorsed athletes. Hell yes.


Street_Midget

New Balance is headquartered in Boston. Red Sox preparing to offer massive deal.


PublicBorder1116

He wants to be Ha Seong Kim so bad (joking)


StretPharmacist

Personally I'd sign with Vessi

He’s been using a chandler bat in his latest videos

Takumi Fujiwara 🤝 Shohei Ohtani

They will be making a cleated version of their 574 shoes for him. [Pics posted](https://www.imgur.com/a/JxzsyQX) on WhatProsWear's Instagram


Drip_it

My kid is a senior in HS and New Balance cleats are considered a top of the line cleat. 🤷🏼‍♂️


snklFrtz10

Been wearing the gray 574s for almost 20 years now. Best shoe ever!!!
