FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SQAIRZ NAMED AN OFFICIAL FOOTWEAR PARTNER OF
PERFECT GAME, NEW EXCLUSIVE CO-BRANDED
COLORWAY FOR 2025
Sanford, Florida (Thursday, May 15, 2025) - Perfect Game, the world’s largest youth baseball and softball platform and scouting service, today announced that SQAIRZ, the performance footwear brand trusted by athletes across every level of baseball, has been named an Official Footwear Partner of Perfect Game. Their multi-year partnership will focus on supporting the next generation of baseball talent with science-backed footwear proven to deliver real results on the field.
As part of the collaboration, SQAIRZ and Perfect Game will launch an exclusive co-branded colorway of the SQAIRZ GFP™ baseball cleat in fall 2025, giving players a bold new look backed by performance-first design. The cleat—already known for its patented roomier toe box, Smart Traction™ outsole, and biomechanically tested performance benefits—will now be available in a unique Perfect Game edition.
“This partnership is about the players,” said Bob Winskowicz, Founder & CEO of SQAIRZ. “Perfect Game has built one of the most impactful platforms in youth baseball, and we’re proud to support these athletes with footwear that’s proven to enhance balance, increase ground force production, and boost throwing and swing velocity—all while reducing the risk of injury. These players are chasing big dreams, and we’re here to help them compete with confidence and stay healthy doing it.”
Built for Performance. Backed by Data.
Independent testing shows that athletes wearing SQAIRZ cleats experience a 2.6 MPH increase in throwing velocity and 2.0 MPH boost in exit velocity, with improved balance and more efficient energy transfer. These gains come from the cleat’s ability to stabilize the body and harness power from the ground up—whether at the plate, on the mound, or in the field.
SQAIRZ GFP™ cleats are also engineered for injury prevention—reducing stress on joints and soft tissue by creating a more stable base. From helping mitigate common overuse injuries like plantar fasciitis to supporting better lower body mechanics that can reduce the risk of Tommy John surgery, their footwear is built to protect as much as it performs.
Elevating the Game for the Next Generation
As an Official Footwear Partner of Perfect Game, SQAIRZ will be integrated into key events and programs across the country, giving players broader access to performance-driven gear and educational content around how proper footwear impacts movement, injury prevention, and overall development. At select Perfect Game tournaments and showcases, players will have the opportunity to step into SQAIRZ cleats in on-site hitting bays and training zones—experiencing the difference for themselves in real time. From exclusive athlete-only discounts to first-hand access to new innovations and co-branded releases, this partnership is designed to give players every advantage possible as they chase their next level.
“At Perfect Game, we’re committed to helping athletes learn, grow, and reach their full potential by providing access to the best tools and opportunities in the sport,” said Rob Ponger, CEO of Perfect Game. “Partnering with SQAIRZ ensures our players are equipped with footwear that’s backed by innovation and built to deliver a real performance advantage.”
More details on the Perfect Game x SQAIRZ colorway will be announced ahead of the fall launch.
