PG x Adidas Adizero Impact Shades Cleats Redefine Youth Baseball

Discover the PG x Adidas Adizero Impact Shades Cleats, a limited-edition collaboration that blends style, motion, and innovation for the next generation of baseball athletes. Perfect Game, the world’s largest youth baseball and softball platform and scouting service, has teamed up with global sportswear leader Adidas, launching the exclusive PG x Adidas Adizero Impact Shades Cleats. This highly anticipated, limited-edition release was created just for Perfect Game athletes, marking the beginning of a bold new partnership between two iconic brands committed to youth sports excellence.

The launch took center stage at the 27th Annual WWBA World Championship in Jupiter, Florida, one of the most prestigious events on the amateur baseball calendar. The result? The new cleats sold out in a matter of hours, tapping into both the performance needs and the fashion-forward mindset of today’s emerging baseball stars.

Innovation Meets Identity: The Story Behind the Adizero Impact Shades Cleats

Inspired by one of baseball’s most visible accessories, sunglasses, the PG x Adidas Adizero Impact Shades Cleats capture the confidence, individual flair, and athletic energy of the sport’s top young players. The cleats’ paint-splatter graphic upper is much more than a bold design choice: it’s a visual metaphor for motion, energy, and the unpredictable moments that make baseball thrilling.

Unique details include:

• Sunglass lace jewel shining on the u-throat

• PG (Perfect Game) branding on the heel tab and sock liner

• Premium materials available in both metal and TPU versions

This exclusive colorway signifies the start of an ongoing series of collaborations and activations between Perfect Game and Adidas, with more product innovations and athlete events set for the future.

The Partnership’s Purpose: “Where the Game is Going, and Who’s Leading It”

“At Perfect Game, we’re always looking for ways to elevate the athlete experience on and off the field,” said Rob Ponger, CEO of Perfect Game. “Teaming with Adidas, a brand we are thrilled to partner with, allows us to blend innovation, performance and style in a way that represents the next generation of baseball. These cleats aren’t just gear ,  they’re a symbol of where the game is going and who’s leading it.”

“As we continue to invest in and empower the next generation of baseball athletes, partnering with Perfect Game gives us the opportunity to engage with the athletes shaping the future of the sport,” added Aaron Seabron, General Manager, US Sports & Creation Center Portland at Adidas. “We’re excited to continue highlighting how our product can not only help players perform at an elite level, but also express their individuality and feel confident on the field.”

These leadership quotes reflect the core mission of both brands: fusing elite performance with authentic self-expression and driving youth sports culture forward.

Where to Get the Cleats, and What Comes Next

The PG x Adidas Adizero Impact Shades Cleats initially debuted at the WWBA Championship and sold out quickly on site. However, additional pairs are now available at Perfect Game’s dedicated storefronts in Destin, Florida, and Gulf Shores, Alabama, offering more fans and players a chance to experience the innovation firsthand. You can also explore premium baseball-ready eyewear that pairs with the cleats to complement the look and performance of today’s young athletes.

The cleats are also integrated into the Perfect Game Online Shop, providing nationwide access to the new drop for all athletes and families. Both Adidas and PG are planning cleat testing activations at upcoming Perfect Game events throughout fall 2025, allowing players to try the cleats, test their features, and gain a firsthand feel for the performance technologies, bridging product design with athlete feedback in real-time.

Why the PG x Adidas Partnership Matters

Both brands have strong reputations for supporting youth athletic development. Perfect Game’s events, such as the Annual WWBA World Championship, consistently attract scouts, coaches, and future professional athletes. Adidas, meanwhile, continues to push boundaries in sport-specific innovation, helping young players build skills, confidence, and individuality.

This partnership goes beyond product releases. It underscores a shared commitment to:

• Elevating equipment standards for amateur & youth athletes

• Empowering players to feel unique both on and off the field
