Yasuda, a purely domestic soccer spike maker born in 1932, was operated by Yasuda Co., Ltd. (and then Clicks Yasuda Co., Ltd. after changing the company name).
Mr. Shigeharu Yasuda, the founder of Mr. Yasuda, was building a fixed position as a "football Yasuda" with commitment to manufacturing. However, it went bankrupt just before the football World Cup co - sponsored by Japan and South Korea in 2002.
- On the Resurrection of YASUDA
Sato: Yasuda that disappeared 16 years ago was confirmed again with Yasuda fans to revive with the power of everyone, again the significance of the existence of the brand. So, over the years, we have been able to start the "YASUDA Reprint Project" using "Cloud Funding" to produce a reprint of football spikes as "YASUDA".
The reprint project was started and the time it took to start cloud funding was only about 4 months. The thought of the involved members became one, and it was able to arrive in a short period of time.
- Through cloud funding
Sato: This time, a cloud funding business company specializing in sports and health, "ROUTEF (Routeff) Co., Ltd. (http://route-f.com/) "Using the cloud-funding portal service, we built a spike of all-kangaroo leather using wooden molds and molds that existed before bankruptcy.
- About YASUDA Reprint Spike
Sato: The spike name of the reprinted version limited to crowdfunding is YX-2018. Sole YASUDA logo on the sole and vertical YASUDA logo on the upper. A model that can be used for competitions based on the remaining wooden molds and molds is carefully hand-made one by one and carefully manufactured in Japan.
- About commitment
Sato: The sticking with the spikes limited to the reprint edition will be the next seven points.
① adopt direct injection recipe
② adopted all kangaroo leather
③ Reproduction of YASUDA spike stamping in the 70-80 's on the upper side
④ Reproduce the embroidery tag based on Dick Blue symbolizing YASUDA
⑤ Original model that can be used for competition, improved past defects
⑥ Shoe box limited for reprint edition (with letters of YX-2018)
⑦ Kangaroo leather with serial number tag
- On the direct injection recipe
Sato: In particular, I would like you to pay attention to "direct injection recipe" in ①. It is a traditional recipe that is superior in durability and waterproofness, but there are only line-ups currently counted in soccer spikes. Your
Direct injection is a special manufacturing method that pours polyurethane which is raw material of the bottom which had melted beforehand in the mold, heat welded and integrally molded upper and bottom. The reprinted spike of this time is being asked by a factory that can do direct injection method dedicated to one of the few spikes that exists in Japan and asked to make it. Therefore, not only of rare value and high quality, there are plenty of Made in Japan 's sense of security and pride.
The feature of direct injection is that it is performing adhesion and molding at the same time, so the gap between the upper and the sole is gone. This enhances adhesion, durability, waterproofness from the bottom, a sense of unity is created in the upper and sole. Adhesion is so strong that its sole is less likely to peel off. The one body feeling is that it is reasonable that you can obtain a natural cohesion throughout the spike by molding the sole at the time of gluing. Because it does not use nails and threads to join the sole and the upper, it is light and it is hard to peel off and it has excellent unity feeling.
The direct-injection recipe's easy-to-see appearance is that you do not use nails for the sole's toes. Although it is a usual spike that an average of three nails are driven by one foot, it may be a subtle difference, but I think that YX - 2018 feels light above the appearance. If you wear it is sure to become a gem that understands the difference.
- Future Prospects
Sato: I would like to start reprinting YASUDA with confidence from this "YX - 2018" spike.
We will continue to fully revive YASUDA and regenerate it without having to end with just cloud funding.
Making Japanese manufacturing to the world.
We look forward to your support. (End)
