Model 04 : "SLUGGER"
In 1845, American Alexander Joy Cartwright Jr. created the rules that could be considered the prototype of modern baseball. For a while after that, ordinary canvas sneakers were used for baseball, but in the late 1860s, when the first professional team was born in the United States, pin-type spikes began to be used by top players. In the 1870s, triangular spikes attached to the toe and heel were created, and the baseball spikes that we use today were established.
The unique line that connects the toe reinforcement and lace stays used in "SLUGGER" is the upper design of baseball spikes that represent the 20th century. This complete design, which combines reinforcement and flexibility, has been used almost unchanged for 100 years. The reinforcing leather line on the toe is reminiscent of the cap toe of dress shoes, and it can be surprisingly flexibly incorporated into a variety of outfits.
Model 04: "SLUGGER" is based on the unique design of classic baseball spikes, and features hand-sewn welt construction, hidden channels, curled edges and a luxurious seamless back.
