Since joining New Balance in 2023, Ohtani has been a key figure in their “We Got Now” campaign, which celebrates those who embrace the present and the possibilities of the future.
Chris Davis, New Balance’s Chief Marketing Officer, praised Ohtani for his collaboration and charitable efforts and hinted at more collaborations to come.

What’s Shohei going to endorse next? Buick Automotive? Ensure probiotics? Reverse mortgages? (Enter something that old people like)??

Kinda busy, isn't it? Personal logos like the @jumpman23 or the @rogerfederer RF are clean looking. And shouldn't he be, you know, swinging the bat rather than running the bases?
