CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - Perfect Game, the world's largest youth baseball and softball platform and scouting service, today announced it has entered into a partnership agreement making Boston, Mass.-based global footwear brand, ISlide, its official slide partner.

As part of its agreement, ISlide will offer Perfect Game athletes the opportunity to customize and individualize their slides. ISlides will additionally create two designs for the Perfect Game Cares Foundation, with a portion of the proceeds donated to the Foundation to support its efforts to provide baseball and softball playing opportunities for youth in underserved communities.

ISlide products will make their Perfect Game debut this weekend, when 60 of the best high school aged baseball players gather at Petco Park in San Diego on Sunday, August 22, for the 19th annual Perfect Game All-American Classic presented by TOP Chops. Each member of Team East and Team West will receive a complimentary pair of ISlide slides as part of their exclusive players-only swag bag.

ISlide holds licenses with Warner Brother, NBA, Overwatch League, MLB, Nickelodeon, NFLPA, NHL, WNBA, Death Row Records, among others.

"ISlide is thrilled to partner with and be the official slide of Perfect Game," said Justin Kittredge, founder of ISlide.

We cannot wait to see the best amateur baseball players in the country wearing ISlide starting at the Perfect Game All-American Classic this weekend at Petco Park."
