Congratulations to Major League Baseball (MLB) on an exciting international opener in Japan this week! It was great to see NB athlete and reigning National League MVP Shohei Ohtani shine in his season debut at the Tokyo Dome. At the top of his game, Shohei continues to push himself to hone his craft and redefine greatness. To celebrate Shohei’s homecoming, our NB teams launched his MADE product along with the evolution of the Shohei Ohtani Signature Collection, inspired by his mindset of continuous improvement and his unparalleled talents as a two-way player. This week was an incredible show for baseball fans around the world – I can’t wait to see what the rest of the season brings. #WeGotNow.

Dear Joe, I would be grateful for the opportunity to discuss shoes and shoe brands with you sometime. I am seeking mentorship in this area.
What an incredible start to the MLB season! Shohei Ohtani’s performance in Japan was amazing to watch, and New Balance Japan’s special collection honoring him is a perfect tribute. Wishing Shohei and MLB an exciting season ahead—keep shining!
Congratulations Joe Preston! It's inspiring to see the impact of Shohei Ohtani and the exciting developments at New Balance. Here's to a successful season ahead!
Ohtani and other Japanese players have shone in Tokyo because they don't have the scar tissue American players have from lifting weights which tear muscle fibers.
