Braves' Ronald Acuna Jr. Makes Announcement on Wednesday

As Acuna enters the offseason preparing his body for his ninth season in the big leagues, he is also making moves away from MLB. Signed to a partnership with Nike, Acuna remains one of the brand’s most impactful ambassadors.

On Wednesday, he took to social media to announce the official release of his new signature glove. “Get your hands on my new Nike Vapor Elite Fielding Gloves! ,” Acuna wrote on Instagram.

Nike provided a description of the glove on its website that read, “Grounded in baseball tradition, the Vapor Elite is the result of state-of-the-art innovation and design excellence. Acuna’s signature version amps up the flash with colors inspired by his swagger and fearless energy, so you can make merciless plays in all-out style. Bright yellow represents the youthful energy that Ronald brings to the game.”

Fans can check out the glove for themselves. It is available in two colorways, Opti Yellow and Valor Blue.

Acuna’s career trajectory has already cemented him as one of the game’s brightest stars. Since debuting in 2018 and winning NL Rookie of the Year, he has collected an NL MVP, five All-Star selections and three Silver Slugger Awards.

He remains the only player in MLB history to record a 40-home run, 70-stolen base season, showcasing his rare combination of power and speed. Whether he can fully reclaim that mobility in 2026 is uncertain, as he stole just nine bases last year, and his range in the outfield declined.

Still, with his bat producing at an elite level, the Braves can feel confident having him in the lineup every day.
