New Colors Coming to Shohei Ohtani's Favorite Tights

The popular conditioning wear brand "CW-X" is excited to announce the addition of new colors to its Body Balance Up Tights, a model loved by brand ambassador Shohei Ohtani. From September 25, 2025, these new shades will be available for purchase across various retail locations as well as Wacoal's online store.

CW-X is dedicated to enhancing athletic performance by supporting the muscles and joints through its unique wear. Since Shohei Ohtani's appointment as brand ambassador in March 2025, sales of the tights have skyrocketed, seeing over twice the sales numbers compared to the previous year. Notably, the men’s model has consistently ranked at the top in sales, with the Body Balance Up Spats and Body Balance Up Tights taking the first and second spots, respectively, within the CW-X tights category on Wacoal's website.

The Body Balance Up Tights are designed with support on both sides to improve hip stability and minimize lower body-axis movement. These tights are perfect for various sports scenes, including marathons and athletic events, as well as for those who stand for long hours at work or engage in physical activities.

The men's model will see new shades on March 17, 2025, while the women's model was launched later on July 17, responding to customer requests wanting the product showcased by Ohtani himself. The new colors include Blue (BU) and Gray (GY) for men, along with Light Gray (SG) for women, expanding from the previous Black (BL) only lineup.

Key Features

The CW-X brand utilizes its proprietary taping principle to support the hip from both sides and the pelvis from the front and back. This construction promotes hip stability and a balanced lower body alignment. The tights feature an 8-way stretch material that offers complete freedom of movement, making them ideal for various sports including running and team activities, as well as for those in jobs that require physical engagement.

Designed to be worn alone, these tights come with a discreet finish at the hem, making them suitable under outerwear. The advanced adhesive technology eliminates stitching in support lines, ensuring a soft touch and comfortable fit.

The CW-X brand aims to support active lifestyles through its innovative products, developed based on the principles of taping. From its inception in 1991, CW-X has focused on blending sport-specific functionality with apparel design to provide quality support for athletes and everyday active individuals.
