Performance Technology Meets Tournament Culture
SQAIRZ and Perfect Game have released their first joint product: the Limited Edition Palm Baseball Shoe. The collaboration builds on SQAIRZ’s existing role as Official Footwear Partner of Perfect Game, creating a tournament-focused colorway of the company’s GFP™ cleat line.
The Palm features neon green, electric blue, and purple coloring with Perfect Game’s signature palm tree pattern integrated into the design. According to SQAIRZ Founder and CEO Bob Winskowicz, the aesthetic targets travel ball players who prioritize both performance and style.
The cleat maintains the same technical foundation as SQAIRZ’s standard GFP™ line, which features a patented roomier toe box designed to improve balance and ground connection. Testing data shows players wearing SQAIRZ cleats recorded an average exit velocity increase of 3.5 MPH, pitching velocity gains of 2.1 MPH, and balance score improvements of up to 60%.
Exclusive Distribution Strategy
Pre-sales launch September 9th through SQAIRZ.com and PerfectGame.org, with shipping scheduled for mid-October. The companies have also created a curated shopping experience that includes select Perfect Game Palm apparel alongside the cleats.
Perfect Game will merchandise the Limited Edition Palm at select events through the end of 2025, providing in-person try-on and purchase opportunities for players and families. The companies emphasize this is a limited production run with no restocking planned once sizes sell out.
“The Limited Edition Palm collaboration reflects the energy of our players and the moments that define youth baseball,” said Rob Ponger, CEO of Perfect Game. The partnership represents the next phase of SQAIRZ’s multi-year agreement with Perfect Game.
Strategic Context for SQAIRZ Growth
The Perfect Game collaboration extends SQAIRZ’s recent partnership expansion across professional and amateur baseball. The company serves as Official On-Field Footwear Partner of Minor League Baseball Players, Officially Licensed Footwear Partner of MLB Players Inc., and Official Footwear Partner of Perfect Game.
Professional players including Liam Hendriks and Ramon Laureano currently wear SQAIRZ cleats. The Limited Edition Palm will be available in metal, molded, and turf configurations for both youth and adult players, covering the full range of league requirements and playing surfaces.
The collaboration targets the travel baseball market, where equipment choices often reflect both performance needs and cultural identity within tournament circuits. Perfect Game’s Florida roots and palm tree branding connect directly to the travel ball tournament experience concentrated in warm-weather markets.
