Ohtani 1 'Black Metallic Gold'
The New Balance Ohtani 1 'Black Metallic Gold' showcases gilded accents on Shohei Ohtani's debut signature cleat. A metallic gold 'N' logo decorates the blacked-out upper, featuring breathable mesh construction with durable overlays in cast polyurethane. Covering the forefoot overlay, a raised triangular pattern takes inspiration from the ceilings of some NPB ballparks in Japan. New Balance's FuelCell foam midsole offers lightweight cushioning with every step. Underfoot, the outsole utilizes metallic gold studs that are approximately 2mm shorter than traditional baseball spikes, offering superior traction without sacrificing ground feel.
