The New Balance Youth Fresh Foam Velo v5 Rubber-Molded Fastpitch Softball Cleats are built for comfort that goes the full seven, giving young players a cleat so comfortable they forget it's even there. Derived directly from athlete feedback, the Velo v5 is designed for high performance and all-day comfort on the diamond, whether at practice, warm-ups, or full games. This listing is available in two colorways: White/Pink and White/Blue (Columbia).
At the heart of the shoe is New Balance's Fresh Foam X midsole, delivering the brand's most cushioned Fresh Foam experience for plush, responsive comfort underfoot. A breathable mesh upper helps keep feet cool when the pressure is on, while a molded collar and TPU heel clip lock in the ankle, keeping the foot steady through every explosive first step and base-rounding sprint. The rubber-molded TPU outsole is engineered to provide superior traction across both turf and natural surfaces, giving young players confidence whether they're on grass, dirt, or artificial turf.
Available in bold White/Pink and White/Blue (Columbia) colorways, the Velo v5 RM offers young softball players a durable, comfortable cleat built to keep up with a full season of play. For pitchers who experience excessive toe drag, New Balance recommends using a toe-protection product to help extend the life of the cleat.
