[OFFICIAL SITE] https://panasonic.co.jp/sports/volleyball/ ■About Hummel Danish sports brand Hummel was born in 1923, developing the world’s first spikes with studs. At the time, soccer players were playing soccer in leather shoes, and by adding studs to the flat soles of their shoes, they dramatically improved their grip, making it possible to play in ways that were previously impossible. The brand name and logo are based on an anecdote about how a bumble bee (hummel in German), which is theoretically unable to fly due to its weight, was able to fly through repeated efforts. After 100 years of history, we are currently developing our own brand story with the mission of “Change the World Through Sport.” I continue to take on new
challenges. [OFFICIAL WEBSITE] https://www.hummel.co.jp/[object 6] https://www.sskstores.jp/hummel/sports/
