New Balance has teamed up with Shohei Ohtani to launch a premium Made in Japan short-sleeved knit, blending refined craftsmanship with the two-way star’s signature style.
Each T-shirt, limited to just 100 pieces per color, is made from tightly twisted, 100 percent cotton yarn, woven on a rare high-gauge knitting machine. The result is a luxuriously dry texture and a clean, seamless finish using traditional linking stitching. Subtle design details include a thin ribbed hem and a stitched blue logo label bearing Ohtani’s signature.
The tees come in three classic colors — white, gray and black — and are packaged in a serial-numbered collector’s box. Retailing at ¥33,000 JPY ($230 USD), the garments celebrate Japanese textile artistry while showcasing New Balance’s ongoing partnership with one of baseball’s biggest global icons. While an official release site and date have not yet been confirmed at the time of writing, the shirts are expected to land on Ohtani’s dedicated New Balance page sometime soon.
