NEW BALANCE HONORS MOTHER’S DAY WITH NOTEPAD PRINT BASEBALL CLEATS

 

Boston, MA (May 1, 2019) – Over 300 professional baseball players on Team New Balance’s roster will honor Mother’s Day on May 12^th by writing personal notes on their cleats. The new Mother’s Day 3000v4 baseball cleat, now available to purchase on www.newbalance.com, features notebook pad print on the upper for athletes to write a personal note to the mothers in their lives. In May 2019, New Balance will donate 100% of the MSRP from the Mother’s Day 3000v4 cleat to Boys & Girls Clubs of America, in support of kids chasing their dreams and those that help them along the way.

 

The inspiration behind the notebook pad print dates back to the origin story of the Mother’s Day holiday – honoring mothers through handwritten letters expressing love and gratitude. The Mother’s Day 3000v4 cleat emphasizes both personalization and sentiment. “I learned the lesson of family first from my mother. You always have to work hard to keep your family safe. One day I’m going to bring her to Fenway to watch me pitch a game,” said Boston Red Sox Eduardo Rodriguez who has his Mother’s name tattooed on his left arm. Rodriguez will be among the 300 Team New Balance athletes writing a personal note to their mother during the Red Sox game on May 12^th.

 

Doing well and doing good is part of the unchanging core and future vision of New Balance. “We are honored to have New Balance as a dedicated partner that shares a commitment to America’s youth. The Mother’s Day proceeds will go towards our mission of helping kids and teens achieve great futures,” said Chad Royal-Pascoe, National Vice President, Corporate and Cause Partnerships. The result is young people realizing their full potential as healthy, productive citizens.

 

The Mother’s Day 3000v4 features a medial side notebook print, full-length Fresh Foam midsole, wood-grain TPU eyelets and a combo poly/TPU mesh upper. To learn about New Balance Baseball, follow @NBBaseball on Instagram and Twitter.
