We covered Shohei Ohtani’s white and red batting gloves last season, but with a new team came a new look for the two-way wizard. Not only did he update his gear to better suit his new Dodger threads, but you can now see his signature logo right on the strap […]

Last year, we posted about Shohei Ohtani’s 2023 PE cleats. In some posts circling the inter webs since – particularly when Ohtani began some workouts at Dodger Stadium at the turn of the new calendar year – we got some additional looks that had his cleat pinned as the “SO1” […]
