　<Interview 1st is here>

キングギア編集部はナイキ・ジャパン本社に乗り込み、担当者に直撃インタビューを敢行。２０００年代以降、サッカースパイク事業を強力に推進するナイキのいま、未来の展望とは？　

Mr. A in charge"From the summer season I would like to propose Mercurial, two of the spikes" Mercurial Super Fly "and the performance model" Mercurial Veeper "

Mr. A in charge"Hahaha (laugh) I would like to wear a Mercurial Super Fly full of Nike's latest technology (laugh). I would like to recommend Mercury Veeper if it is the theme of Cospa."

Mr. A in charge"Although it is difficult to compare, football is a sports that handles balls with the feet every day, so it is extremely exhausted, there may be risks to purchase a high price range.In the case of baseball, the glove I think that there is a tendency to purchase high-priced ones for the first time in terms of using for three years, as it is a characteristic of sports, I think that it is different to compare spikes and gloves. "

Mr. A in charge"I think that baseball is a sport that you keep using long enough that it is important to keep using it for a long time.It's time to spend such as feeling when having a bat and glove if you put your hands and receiving a ball I think that it is a sports to find your own type. "

Mr. A in charge"Especially if you think that you continue to use gloves for three years, you think that it is worth about the same as continuing to use about 13,000 yen for about 3,000 yen in spikes, perhaps the football player is long Perhaps you want to use it, but since it will be exhausted at an early stage, it may not be the case. "

Mr. A in charge"When asking high school students about soccer spikes, there are a lot of people who have a high spike for games, using roughly cheap practice, only wearing it in games"

Mr. A in charge"It does not change, as the spike for the game becomes useless, I will continue that cycle, changing it for practice and buying new for the game.When I listen to high school students, It was so for the players. "

Mr. A in charge"I think that it is most important to handle moisture, take muddy, carefully after all,"

Mr. A in charge"Yes, I think that it will deteriorate, so I think that it would be better to care such as wiping and drying etc. For example, as muddy water comes in between the shoe tangs, water deteriorates, even if it is artificial leather I think that it should be the same with natural leather.Well, during this new spike, I announced a revolutionary technology that the sole can not get muddy. "

Mr. A in chargeIt is called "Anti-Clog Traction (ANTI-CLOG TRACTION), but it absorbs moisture"

Mr. A in charge "It is a part of the outsole.When water is applied to the outsole which made special processing, it will spread to the material or it will play.When the earth and the turf will inevitably influence the performance about the spike, I am making a structure that this outsole does not stick. "

Mr. A in charge"We are selling in Europe from May, Nike is planning to issue products with this sole in limited quantities from August, and we plan to install this in four silos (pillars) from now on."

Mr. A in charge"We recommend Tiempo to players seeking delicate ball touch"

Mr. A in charge"I want to be worn by agile players, such as deceiving enemies, I'd like sports to be worn by goal scorers like Neymar."

Mr. A in charge"It's a speed like Cristiano Ronaldo, a thrust to the vertical, or a speed player that needs to move back and forth like a side back"

Mr. A in charge"It is an aggressive playmaker who manipulates the game, the most obvious is the player like Iniesta and Ghetze"

Mr. A in charge"Defense and keeper also recommend Tiempo in terms of the starting point of attack.In Japan it is wearing Nishikawa Shosaku players and Shioya Tsuya players, and overseas it is used by Sergio Ramos and Gerard Piquet I think that this spike is good as modern defense needs to be an offensive starting point. "

- If you are planning to release limited items from now on, could you please tell me secretly?

Mr. A in charge"We announced shoes of Neymar × Jordan"

　
Niki's charge, Mr. A, recommended the Mercurial top model such as "Mercurial Super Fly" for high school students, and "Mercurial Veeper" in the performance model. In modern football which the defense team can also be the starting point of attack, thiempo is also recommended for defense and keeper.
