◆ Adidas Hideki Nagai trying on "Ace 16+ Japan HG Prime Knit".


─ ─ So, please give me the impression of actually wearing it.
Master Nagai"Somehow my doubts come true"

What do you mean?
Master Nagai"Adidas, why did you make such a spike?"

── I do not understand the meaning (laugh).
Master Nagai"To be more specific, why did you make a model that is likely to receive imitation of Nike?

Well certainly, speaking of such a high cut specification spike, there is an image called Nike.
Master Nagai"Adidas is a bit special in me, there is always a maker who has lead the football world. In fact, most of the innovation that has happened to the football spike, made a chance for Adidas Is not there a part that has come? The opinion of Puma believers Tatsuchan (founder K) may be different though (laugh) "

─ ─ ─ No, no one can deny that human about that as well. Regarding the illustration of Adams of Adorable Spirit, Puma of Rebellion.
Master Nagai"Kana (lol)." It is Adidas who has long been the leader in the industry, but when you wear this spike, I feel something that seems to be lost.It's more momentum manufacturer than the know-how that we have cultivated I was influenced by the way of doing it, "

Master Nagai"The style that was in the spike of Adidas has not been felt from this spike"


── It seems you did not like it a lot (laugh).
Master Nagai"I do not call (laugh)" Because the foot hurts when you kick the ball, football is "foot ball" in China, but in Japan it is "kick ball" You protect your ankle It may be important, but the feeling when kicking is extremely important, but I feel that this spike is being neglected there.At how many points have you got kicked in a while ago? "

─ ─ It is 3.5 points.
Master Nagai"I am deducted and it is 2.5 points.This is Puma's Evo Speed ​​that I thought it was a barefoot rather than a barefoot sense, but it seems that some old-fashioned manufacturers have come to make spikes that do not seem to be old-fashioned."

── What kind of place is not it like?
Master Nagai"It's obviously the influence of other companies is getting apparent.This is the future football spike.People of other peers in the same industry, please do not mind if you want to pacify, ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ___ ___ ___ 0 I can not feel it. "

Even German cars that are evaluated for high quality around the world can not be connected with the influence of Japanese cars, so is it that there is nothing more to be done than the emerging manufacturers are so energetic? It is also true that Toyota's quality control played a major role in the revival of the dying situation of Porsche.
Master Nagai"I understand that, but Adidas is not moribund and quality is not falling down.While this is a comment from the outside only, the way people feel in the inside may be different Beyond what we are thinking, it might be a strong feeling if we can keep it like this. "

─ ─ Certainly, unlike the era when there were only natural leathers to speak of spikes, the old advantage advantage may be steadily diminishing. Or, rather than the goodness of the spike itself, the skill of the marketing strategy may be the era of things.
Master Nagai"Well, as it used to be in the past, even now, since I first became a Puma, it is originally Maradona because the child who likes Cristiano Ronaldo will wear Nike, if you like Messi, It was a pretty incredible thing to change the makers of the spikes the players contracted and there was a difference in how much spikes were made by the manufacturer. "

◆ It was a dry evaluation this time.

─ ─ Some players leap at a stroke as a result of changing the contract maker, and some players who are mysteriously lost their shine.
Master Nagai"There was a variety of manufacturers, and it was Adidas who definitely made the mainstream, although there are players who change from other manufacturers to Adidas, there are few players who change from adidas to the other I did not have it. "

── It seemed that it was.
Master Nagai"But when you put on this spike, it will be a bit of awhile whether such an era will continue in the future, even if it continues, it is not the power of spikes, but the power of marketing or the power of money"

─ ─ Adoldus' s founder, Adolf Dasler may mourn you. Puzzle founder Rudolf Dasler may be laughing, though (laugh).
Master Nagai"Which one is your older brother?"

─ ─ Mr. Rudolph. It is rumored that it is because the young man K likes Puma because his younger brother felt a sympathy for an excellent brotherly relationship than his brother (laugh).
Master Nagai"Oh, surely, over there, my brother and sister is excellent" (laugh)
