Absolutely Ridiculous has partnered with Lucasfilm to release its first official Star Wars baseball collection, launching with a set modeled after Imperial Stormtrooper armor, Hypebeast reported. The capsule combines high-performance athletic specifications with franchise iconography for competitive play.
Stormtrooper Baseball Gear Launching October 2026
The limited-edition collection makes its official debut on October 30, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. CST / 2:00 EDT exclusively through the Absolutely Ridiculous website. The initial drop centers on three core protective items designed for the baseball diamond: a sliding mitt, elbow guards, and shin guards.
Engineered for top-tier competitive play, the equipment utilizes the same manufacturing standards and technical specs that Major League Baseball All-Stars Elly De La Cruz and Jazz Chisholm Jr. tested and wore during the regular season. The exterior shells feature molded designs mimicking the distinct helmets and armor plates of the Galactic Empire’s foot soldiers, while the interiors of the elbow and shin guards showcase custom photographic prints.
Future Star Wars Baseball Products and Darth Vader Collaboration
While the initial October drop focuses entirely on the Stormtrooper protective set, brand representatives confirmed that this lineup represents just the opening chapter of an ongoing, exclusive partnership with Star Wars. Subsequent product releases will introduce custom baseball batting and fielding gloves inspired by Darth Vader alongside other characters from the sci-fi universe.
Pricing details for the October 2026 drop have not yet been published by the manufacturer.
