Mr. Yagihiro Taguchi 

- The soccer socks are released last year about a month ago and it became a hot topic and I remember having purchased at a sports shop soon after being sold.

Currently, two pairs of black and white are used in total. The grip works and it is easy to move. Thank you very much.

What kind of process did you get from here?

Taguchi:Thank you. Many soccer players seeking socks with good sense of wear and functional,2015Planning started in the year. Actually, at that time, Tabio's running socks were JIt was used by the leaguers when playing soccer.

I had no edge in football, but there is a certain JI heard from the league team that many of the team's players liked it and found it to be wearing and he said, "Since you had a voice like" Can you make socks that can be used in the game? " It was very pleasing to make and hand it over.

At that time, as a condition necessary for a soccer sock, we asked five subjects such as ① good durability ② good fit ③ good grip ability ④ usable without being influenced by the weather ⑤ coloring suitable for uniforms - I started.

Taguchi: The running socks are based on the concept that ① no padding is possible ② hard to fatigue ___ ___ 0 Football socks is a concept, ① fit feeling ② durability ③ dry property not sticky even in rain and snow.
 

-In the case of football, there are various movements, so wasn't the grip strongly required?

Taguchi:I agree. The other day, J in KansaiWhen I was talking to the league players, I was pleased that I could use my fingers firmly and that the kicking power went up tremendously. It seems you are recognizing that socks are also a tool.
