Yuki Togashi, who has challenged the basketball's highest peak in the United States twice in total after graduating from high school and 20 years old. From the 2015-16 season, I joined NBL affiliated Chiba Jets (now · Chiba Jets Funabashi). In the B league 2016-17 season which started from last year, it has grown into a command tower indispensable to the team. In the 92nd Emperor 's Cup and the 83rd Empress Cup held in January 2017, he led the team with his own weapon of speedy basketball and led the team to become the first title in history. Overwhelming agility, also called "speed star" in Japan. This time, I asked about the points etc in selecting from the encounter with NIKE contracted about the bash which supports the feet. From the delicate ball touch that you show during the game you will see a glimpse of a simple and natural aspect that you can not imagine so much.

<Vol.1 is this place>
- I would like to ask Bash's story this time. Togashi is wearing Bash as a contract player of NIKE, when was the encounter with NIKE in the first place?
- I would like to ask Bash's story this time. Togashi is wearing Bash as a contract player of NIKE, when was the encounter with NIKE in the first place?
Togashi: It is around 16 to 17 years old. It is time I am challenging America for the first time.
In the meaning of encounter, you participated in an event held by NIKE as a trigger. That's why the basketball player who is active in active duty and the coach of NBA gather and jointly perform "All Asia Camp" is held every year in China.
As top players from Asian countries such as China, South Korea, Taiwan and Australia will participate, it is a really big event.
I joined there for two years from the summer vacation of my first year high school students, and I was able to make a contract until I was able to interact with the NIKE.
Also, since the high school was a team of sponsors of Michael Jordan, as a model he often wore "Air Jordan".
- I see. Among NIKE, please tell me if you are stuck with Bash selection.
TogashiActually, I do not care much about Bash. I tried what I offered from NIKE, and intuitively wear what I thought "this is it!"
So now『ハイパーダンク2017"I am wearing. Even before, when I can not find a bash that seems to be just right"Hyper DunkBecause I was wearing a series.

- Togashi takes care of the feeling I wear, does not it? So what about models of Bash or about design?
Togashi: This is personal preference, but as for NIKE's signature model (the original model that only NBA's top players can create), I will choose by looking at the player name.
For example, there are models such as Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, LeBron James, etc., but I will not even try that bash (laugh).
What? What? On the contrary, which player would you wear? (Lol).
Togashi: From the 2016 - 17 season, Kylie Irving who came out a few years ago began to wear a model bash "Killy 1".
After that I tried a new work, but "Kylie 2" did not fit very well, so I am planning to wear "Kylie 3" which was released this summer.
So now『ハイパーダンク2017"I am wearing. Even before, when I can not find a bash that seems to be just right"Hyper DunkBecause I was wearing a series.
As the design, I chose the red color which is the team color of Chiba Jets Funubashi, and personally simple and my favorite white. I do not like dark colors like black.
Speaking of the Kylie series, it has been developed with reference to the brilliant quickness and speed that is characteristic of himself, but is Togashi a similar style of playing, is he choosing this model?
Togashi: That is right. As I already have the play that made the best use of speed, heavy bash does not match.
Does that mean that high cut is also NG?
Togashi:Hmm…. I certainly do not like high cuts, but I do not like the low cut too much (laugh).
I think that you can understand if you see it, in fact this "Hyper Dunk 2017" I am wearing now is a high cut. However, I do not pass the shoelace through the hole at the top of the bash, I adjust it between high cut and mid cut.
This part is a bit small part (laugh).
※ NIKE's "Hyper Dunk 2017" Togashi wears
- I mentioned that I did not care about it a while ago, but as I dig down, it seems that more hidden commitment comes out (laugh). When choosing clothes and sneakers, is there a point that "This can not be done!"
Togashi: I do not really have it (laugh). Strictly speaking, I choose black and white or gray color so as not to put as much color as possible. Conversely sneakers will adopt red or fancy color, but basic except simple shoes is simple.
After that sneakers still often wear 'Air Jordan'. Because there were many opportunities to have you wear it from the beginning when you contracted with NIKE.
- Certainly, there is a lot of coordination of monotone in private clothes for Togashi who is on each media. I think that this also leads to a part of commitment, Is Togashi a battle song to listen to before playing, do you have a routine or something?
Togashi: There is not it at all either (laugh). I do not listen to music as much, and as for routines, I prepare for strictly doing things like stretching before the game, but I have not done anything particularly strange.
- If you change the way of looking a bit, are you acting freely anyhow in nature anyway?
Togashi:I agree. I am not of a type that I do not do pretty well, and I am not getting nervous, so I am in the game as usual.
Of course, as a way to create consciousness towards the game, I will inspire myself to say "I win absolutely today!" Although it may be rude to other players a little, the one who enters the game with the feeling that it is enjoying basketball with friends on a holiday day can be relaxed and play good.
Rather than deciding to do something "always" and incorporate it before the game, conscious of doing basketball as usual as usual. It may be a special routine work for me to bring out the original play inside of me.
