GLOBAL SPADE Inc. (Location: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Mayumi Yamada) is pleased to announce that it has begun handling "Yardkicks," a kit that allows users to customize sneakers into baseball cleats, as an authorized import agent.

Our company supports April Dream, an initiative to make April 1st a day to express dreams. This press release is a dream of "GLOBAL SPADE Inc."

What is "Yardkicks"?

Directly "Cleat-ify" Your Favorite Sneakers

Yardkicks, born in the USA, is a kit that allows you to attach cleats to your existing sneakers, customizing them into baseball or softball cleated shoes.

You don't need to buy special cleats; your familiar or favorite pair of shoes can now be used for sports.

*Installation method described later

"I want my child to have a reason to move their body outside."

"I want them to play in their favorite shoes."

"I'm looking for a fun experience to do with my kids on weekends."

"I want to enjoy sports without foot stress in familiar shoes."

This is a new option for casual baseball scenes, such as weekend exercise or amateur baseball.

"Light DIY" Experience for the Whole Family - Weekends with Parents and Children Transformed

Yardkicks is characterized by the fact that it allows families and friends to enjoy not only "using" the cleats but also the process of "making" them together.

Transform your favorite shoes into your unique cleats and head out the next day.

A small crafting experience and the sense of accomplishment upon completion can be a trigger for active weekends with family and friends.

Background of Yardkicks' Birth

The birth of Yardkicks is backed by the success of its golf version, Golfkicks, which shares the same concept.

Golfkicks, which allows users to customize sneakers into "golf shoes," gained attention after appearing on a popular American TV show. It has since grown to achieve cumulative shipments of over 100,000 kits and monthly sales of over 3,000 units.

*As of October 11, 2024

Inheriting the idea of "enjoying sports with your favorite sneakers," which is supported by many users, the baseball-specific model 'Yardkicks' was born.

While this product is easy to install, the included cleats feature patented unique traction technology and are designed with durability in mind.

Background of Provision - The Future We Want to Deliver

We have realized that the idea of "utilizing your favorite sneakers in sports" is supported by many people.

Through Yardkicks, we want to deliver "fun" and "experience."

Finding everyday excitement from around the world and delivering it to many people. That is our dream.
