I am "accelerator pro". It is Umbro's spike. 


Top model for the artificial turf in the accelerator series, excellent in fit to the upper
I use kangaroo leather. Considering breathability, a part is a mesh material,
I do not have foot shaky while excelling in foot feeling ──
スポーツショップの店頭に並ぶ吾輩は、およそこんな感じで紹介されている。  
I am proud of that it is true.

However, the opportunity to listen to the voices of the players actually using me is actually surprisingly small.
 
Here is one thing, I think I would like to appear in a player who has become an icon of I 'm.
Endo is Yuuhito.

I do not need to explain it, he is proud of Japan 's national team' s most international A match match,
Even in the number of J1 league appearances, he recorded 513 matches in the 4th place in history (as of May 8, 2004).
Why Endo players who have such a great career choose me?
I would like to report on his own spiking history and his commitment to spikes. 

    履いてる人が少ないから「アンブロ」に

Endo Hiroshi (hereinafter,Endo初めて履いたスパイクですか? 
That's a bit difficult question. How about you ....

I do not remember until the manufacturer. Perhaps, my sister's stance about what my brother can not wear,
I feel it was such a feeling. 

When I just started playing soccer, I liked ASICS.

The spike "2002" was easy to wear. Adidas' 'Copa Mundial' as well.
It is PUMA that did not fit my feet. I thought that 'paramehiko' was nice,
I have some bones of the cheeks out, but actually wearing it and trying it, I got hit by it.
 

For several years since becoming a professional, I was wearing an adidas spike.
People who know me as a young person may think that there is an image of Adidas.
But, about three quarters of my career is wearing Ambrosu spikes.
It's the same timing as Gamba's uniform changed to Umbro ......
Well, it is 2003. At that time I also decided to contract.

Why did you make it Umbro? 

EndoAt the time there were few athletes wearing and very enthusiasticly invited me,
"Well, let's wear it"
という気持ちになりました。  
When I was just beginning to wear, I also made requests

There is almost nothing to ask from me anymore.
I'm being comfortably wearing it.
Speaking of rarely, the attention to color is also true.
It was said that "Please wear this", there is no problem at all.
 シンプルな色の組み合わせが好きですが、そのあたりはアンブロも分かってくれているので。

The commitment to the spike itself is the weight first. Too light is not good.

Just as the time I changed to Ambro, the weight reduction of the spike went on.
At first I tried to light things, but I did not get much better.

Some players say "wearing light spikes integrates with their feet".

I understand it, but in my case it's a bit of weight,
I mean you are wearing a spike
I want a feeling.
Maybe I think I'm wearing a pretty heavy spike.


By saying so, Endo stretched out to the guy who was placed in front of me. It is commercially available.

Endo"This is light, it's different from mine at the moment I have it.
僕のほうが明らかに重いですから」  


It is said to be heavy, it should be different from what was in circulation in the Showa era.
Just because the current spike is too light, I am a little heavier than the ones on the market, it would be comfortable for Endo players.

EndoThe rest is the part of the kakato I talked about a little while ago. Compared to ordinary person's foot,
カカトの骨が出っ張っているんです。なので……」  

Oops, let 's make it this time this time. It seems that Endo is apparently customizing it.
Hearing the opinions of the parties is still fun.
