In a bold move to redefine athletic performance on the diamond, Marucci Sports has introduced its innovative MXB Collection of baseball and softball footwear. This new line features the BOA Fit System, a laceless design that promises unparalleled precision and control for athletes at all levels.

Elevate Your Game with Unmatched Precision and Performance

The Genesis of Marucci’s Footwear Innovation

The journey toward this revolutionary footwear began three years ago when Marucci Sports identified a gap in the market. The company recognized the need for advanced technology tailored specifically to baseball and softball players. Kurt Ainsworth, co-founder and CEO of Marucci Sports, emphasized the brand's commitment to placing athletes at the forefront of product development. By collaborating with BOA Technology, Marucci aimed to deliver footwear that enhances every aspect of an athlete's performance.The introduction of the MXB Collection marks a significant milestone for Marucci. This collection includes three distinct products: the MXB Metal BOA, MXB Molded BOA, and MXB Trainer BOA. Each model leverages the BOA Fit System, offering a level of customization and fit never before seen in diamond footwear. The dual Li2 dials on the cleats provide micro-adjustable tension, ensuring a secure fit that adapts to the specific needs of each player. This precise fit not only enhances energy transfer but also maximizes performance efficiency, allowing athletes to perform at their best during every play, inning, and moment.

Precision Engineering for Superior Performance

The BOA Fit System is the cornerstone of Marucci's MXB Collection. This system replaces traditional lacing with interior cabling made from 49 strands of stainless steel encased in nylon. The lightweight dial allows for micro-adjustments, providing what Marucci calls a "precision fit." According to Dan Feeney, BOA’s vice president of partner product innovation and development, this focus on precision ensures that diamond athletes have the ultimate power and control for every play.The bottom forefoot dial secures the foot in place, while the top midfoot dial locks it down, reducing in-shoe movement. This personalized fit makes it easy for players to adjust tightness mid-game or practice, such as tightening the fit when batting and loosening it for fielding. The result is a shoe that adapts to the dynamic nature of the game, enhancing comfort and performance without compromising durability.

Enhanced Stability and Traction

In addition to the BOA Fit System, the cleats feature a diamond-specific spike configuration designed for stability and traction. The foam midsole and Ortholite insole work together to provide cushioning and support, ensuring players can maintain optimal performance throughout long games and practices. The PU-coated upper adds stretch overlay, which supports the foot while deflecting dirt and debris, maintaining a streamlined appearance and protecting the BOA dials.The MXB Trainer BOA, designed for off-field use, incorporates BOA’s L6 version dial. This trainer offers breathability through a mesh upper and reinforcement via TPU skin. The rubber outsole pairs with a foam midsole and Ortholite insole, delivering comfort and durability for training sessions and everyday wear. The BOA Fit System is guaranteed for the lifetime of the shoe, adding peace of mind to the investment in quality footwear.

A Legacy of Innovation in Baseball

Marucci Sports continues to expand its presence in baseball, owning both the Marucci and Victus brands—two of the most-used bats in Major League Baseball. The company has also acquired Baum and Lizard Skins, further solidifying its position in wood composite bats. With the introduction of the MXB Collection, Marucci demonstrates its ongoing commitment to pushing boundaries and delivering cutting-edge products that enhance the performance of baseball and softball athletes worldwide.
