Last night, the Los Angeles Dodgers outlasted the Toronto Blue Jays in a marathon Game 3 to take a 2-1 lead in the World Series. While the series is far from decided, the GOAT debate in baseball is over.

Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani has electrified the sports world with his dominant offense as a designated hitter and solid pitching as a starter. There is no denying that Ohtani is the best player in a sport that cherishes its history.

Ohtani's reign also extends to the footwear industry. Last summer, New Balance launched Ohtani's first signature shoe, a trainer and cleat. The Shohei Ohtani Signature Collection includes various types of footwear and apparel. Below is how athletes and fans can easily buy Ohtani's shoes.

The New Balance FuelCell Ohtani 1 Trainer ($120 online) has dropped in six colorways. Most of which match perfectly with the Dodgers' uniforms, one even selling out completely. The Ohtani 1 is a shoe set to rewrite the definition of on-field performance.

Tech specs include a molded CPU upper designed for superior durability through the high wear of pitching's repeated toe dragging motions. The sole unit features a full-length FuelCell midsole and a nubbed outsole designed to provide superior traction on artificial surfaces.

The New Balance FuelCell Ohtani 1 ($160 online) is the actual cleat Ohtani wears during games. As Dodgers fans are quite familiar, the MVP has debuted several Dodgers-inspired colorways.

The silhouette is similar to the trainer, but its sole unit features a 10-spike configuration, informed in part by insight from Ohtani himself. It is designed to be closer to the ground, for a consistent feel anywhere on the field, regardless of position.

The Shohei x NB RCVRY Slide dropped earlier this summer for $55, but is marked down to $44 online (20% off). Available in just one colorway, "Sea Salt and Navy," the slide is the go-to option for athletes recovering after a game.

The NB RCVRY Slide brings world-class comfort with its Fresh Foam midsole engineered to deliver an ultra-cushioned, lightweight ride. At the same time, the lightweight injection-molded EVA foam midsole offers additional comfort. This special-edition design features Ohtani's signature logo across the top.

Along with the slides, the Shohei x NB Minimus TR v2 dropped earlier this summer in the "Sea Salt and Navy" colorway in adult sizes ($145 online).

The training shoe is designed for explosiveness in the gym. It is made to help athletes feel barefoot, but better. This special-edition colorway features details similar to the Dodgers' City Connect uniforms, complete with the Shohei signature logo on the outsole and a graphic sockliner.

New Balance announced its new partnership with Ohtani on January 31, 2023. Since then, Ohtani has starred in multiple global marketing campaigns for the Boston-based brand.

In addition to his ubiquitous 'We Got Now' commercials, Ohtani collaborated with New Balance on a limited-edition sneaker drop in Japan this season for the Tokyo Series. The Shohei x New Balance 990v6 sold out quickly online and in stores.

Ohtani has already dropped multiple installments of his signature apparel and footwear collection. The latest release was the Ohtani Summer/Fall collection, which was released in July.
