バッシュが変化してきた歴史の中で、デザインやカラーリングに関してはどういった流れできているんですか?  

Ito Even baskets are available for all manufacturers, but the use of fluorescent color has increased since about five years ago. At the time I started running around there was a fancy image.

In NIKE's Bash, "Kobe ADNXT"Is a huge characteristic"VOLT "fluorescent yellow, just by looking at" That is NIKEI understand immediately "(laugh).

Recently even with similar neon color "
A color intermediate between red and orange called MANGO is also used frequently. Team official wear is also getting in the fashion, and it also incorporates such fluorescent color.

Simple shoes of blue and white are also favored on the other hand. Even the same blue "
FRENCH BLUE ", or" OBSIDIAN "is a deep blue color. White is the color of this year.


―時代に連れて、カラーバリエーションも豊富になってきているということですね。では、バスケ選手はそういったバッシュやウェアをファッションにも直接取り入れたりするのでしょうか?  

Ito
けっこう取り入れますね。特にバッシュはプライベートでも履くことは多いです。僕は90I like the design of the age, so I get excited when the reprint model at that time comes out. "It is a guy who really liked that time!", The tension rises. At that time I could not buy it (laugh). 

In the old days, it was fashionable to mix old clothes with Bash. The retro jersey and jacket of Chicago Bulls and Levi's of old clothes, there is a combination of high-tech sneakers of the time there90年台のトレンドでしたね。

―マイケル・ジョーダンの世代ですもんね。  

Ito It is generation at Don Pissha. Also, from the flow of popular Jordan NIKEの『Air Jordan (AirJordan) "series has caused a major outbreak as the starting point of a sneaker boom.

It was such an era, and I became able to gather sneakers pretty well since becoming an adult.
 That's what NIKE sneakers are wearing now. I am sorry for being a bit frustrating ... (haha)

  ―スニーカーは年に何足くらい買っているのですか?  

ItoI am 34 cm big and big, so it's not as big as I can buy a bang bang. So, in fact, I think there are not so many numbers. Because this is a sneaker made by custom made.
 

―確かに、そこまでサイズが大きいと探すのは一苦労ですね(笑)。では、少し話は逸れるのですが、バッシュ以外にこだわりのアイテムとかってあったりします?  

Ito: There are several. For example, this is a wristband, but it is something I got from a acquaintance boy.

It was a child who cheered me when I was playing in Tochigi Brex in the past, but I always handed over this wrist band to "Thank you".

So when I asked the manager whether I could wear it during the game, I did not have any problem with the terms of the league, so I promised that child "I wear every game and come out". So,
、だいぶ思い入れの強い大切なアイテムですね。  

―試合のルーティン的な感じにもなっているわけですね。  

ItoI agree. I am definitely wearing it now. Also, this wrist band is made by Under Armor, but I am wearing the company's same red inner with that connection. Personally I like the length of a certain length up to the knee.

―それは機能的にはどういった特徴があるんですか?  

Ito: これはコンプレッションタイツと言って、ギュッとした着圧によって血液の循環を良くし、疲労を軽減してくれるんです。筋肉のブレも少なくなるので、パフォーマンスの向上にも繋がります。

アンダーアーマー以外の会社も色々出してはいるんですけど、その中でもアンダーアーマーさんは先駆けの存在ですので、製品自体機能性はすごく高いと思います。  

加えて、今は千葉ジェッツでお世話になっているので、チームカラーの赤色は意識して取り入れるようにしています。割と赤いタイツってあまりないので、とても気に入っていますね。  

- Bash is also red, right?

 Ito Yes. This is also actually made by custom made, "Hyper Dunk 2016 iDIt is a new model of the Hyper Dunk series. It has been updating every year, and this season has been playing this for a long time.

―中に書いてある数字と文字はどういう意味ですか?  

Ito
これは自分のチームでの番号「44」と、ボブ・マーリーで『Iron Lion Zion(アイアン・ライオン・ザイオン)』って曲があるんですけど、あの世界観がけっこう好きで、刺繍でも曲名を入れているんです。   その流れで、ライオンのプリントが入ったTシャツを作って、実際に販売させてもらったこともあります。  

―相当お好きなんですね(笑)。では、試合前とかにこの曲を聴いて気持ちを高めている感じなんですか?  

Ito今はどっちかって言うと試合前は静かに過ごすタイプなので、音楽はあまり聴かなくなりましたけど、若い頃は曲を聴いて気持ちを昂らせてたころもありました。  

―バスケって、ストリートの音楽をよく聴いているっていう勝手なイメージがあるんですけど、実際はどういったジャンルの曲を聴いているんですか?  

Ito Certainly basketball is a sport originating in the United States, and there are more black people tendency, so there are things more than street music absolutely.

When I was in junior high school
Run-D.M.C.(Run Demy) andA TRIBE CALLED QUEST (Tribe Cold Quest)It was popular, and black music was popular when I was in college.

I still listen black music,
I love HIP HOP.
  そういう意味では、他のスポーツよりも音楽との関係性が深い感じはあるかもしれないですね。
