Absolutely Ridiculous Brings 'Star Wars' Stormtrooper Armor to the Baseball Field
The collaboration features a sliding mitt, elbow guard and leg guard featuring armor-inspired designs and hidden photographic graphics.
by Zoe Leung · HypebeastAbsolutely Ridiculous has partnered with Lucasfilm to launch the first-ever official Star Wars baseball collection in history, debuting with an armored Stormtrooper set.
Designed to perform at the highest competitive tiers, the gear matches the exact on-field quality and specifications trusted by Major League Baseball All-Stars Elly De La Cruz and Jazz Chisholm Jr. throughout the season. The range translates the Galactic Empire’s signature Imperial armor into modern on-field protective equipment, highlighted by custom interior photography lining the elbow and leg guards alongside molded exterior shells that capture the helmet and armor contours of the iconic foot soldiers.
The Stormtrooper drop delivers three key on-field pieces: the sliding mitt, the elbow guard and the leg guard. The limited capsule officially launches on October 30, 2026, at 1 p.m. CST / 2 p.m. EDT via Absolutely Ridiculous. While this initial release focuses on the Stormtrooper protective set, Absolutely Ridiculous has confirmed that this is merely the opening chapter of an ongoing, exclusive Star Wars partnership — with future deliveries set to introduce custom baseball fielding gloves inspired by Darth Vader, the Stormtrooper, and additional characters from the galaxy far, far away.
