True Blue Customs sent through some new heat for Luis Valbuena (above) and some others and we wanted to give everybody a look. I’m headed to the Giants game (afternoon baseball in SF is heaven on Earth + CUETO), so I’ll keep it short and sweet. The Valbuena’s are the New […]

My goodness these are FIREEEE. Can’t believe they’re available (which is why it had to be posted). Get whatever’s left of them here.
New Balance has released an all-new cleat, the 406, tabbed as a “minimal cleat” that weighs in at 12.2 oz—New Balance’s 2nd lightest current offering, and at 4mm, their lowest profile. 2015’s Minimus, which is still available, weighs 9.8 oz, and is likely the main inspiration behind the new 406. New Balance […]
Embed from Getty Images Many of you have already noted it, and we posted it today on IG, but Jose Altuve (updated profile) is rocking a new glove this year, a cross-web that Altuve said reminded him of his trip to Japan in 2014. According to Ryan Smith, Wilson Glove Developer, Wilson […]
New Balance released a new set of colorways on their 4040v3. Very snazzy, very available. I love the teal/purple, but I think that was a given. Which is your fave? Get the standout pack here. Also, on a personal note, what do you guys think about this jersey design? Thinking […]
Gearing up for spring training (we’re headed to Florida next week), but I wanted to share our next video with you guys. We’re going to call this one “What’s in the Bag” and its pretty self-explanatory. What do you keep in your baseball bag? First up is our boy Josh […]
We have a pretty good representation of Big League stars on WPW. Browsing the MLB profiles, you get a true feel for who is making the best gear in 2015. Its important to understand, though, that at the top of the pyramid, decisions aren’t always made based on what performs […]
Finally something to chew on. New Balance sent us over some great looks at our very first custom 4040v3, which showed up at Andre Ethier’s locker while it still smelled like champagne. Ethier has basically been a man forgotten in LA these last couple of years, yet he remains a steady […]
In the past two seasons, one-off custom footwear has spread like wildfire across the MLB. Customizers like Marcus Rivera (@solesbysir), Roly from @nomad_customs, True Blue Customs, and former college pitcher Dan Gamache (@mache275) turn pairs of cleats and sneakers into works of art, often transcending anything brands could possibly churn out as PEs. Custom […]
By Ben Stockton As intensely interested as I am in footwear, I have always had an eye on the cleats worn by MLB players. I’ve asked myself, is every brand equally represented in baseball? Do the top-, mid-, and lower-tier players wear equal amounts of each brand? How do those brands fluctuate over time? […]
