Just right, straddling the field and everyday life.
A Frisbee flies gracefully across the green field. As if drawn to its landing spot, a player in a monochrome border runs in front of you. ......
Ultimate is said to be a combination of football and basketball, with players scoring points when they catch a Frisbee thrown by their teammates at the opponent's position. It is a gentlemanly sport, with no referee, and the players judge each other.
Ultimate is a beautiful and exciting sport. The graceful motion of the Frisbee as it flies through the air is a sight to behold, and the catharsis of successfully catching a Frisbee is a thrill. But it is the countless sprints and sweat that create these beautiful moments. Ultimate is a sport of continuous running.
Its competition, in which frisbees are thrown at each other instead of a ball, involves stop-and-go and rapid changes of direction over and over again. It is a war of attrition that leaves one's entire body drenched in sweat, and it is not only physical strength and skill that are needed on the field. In fact, uniforms are also an important part of play. That is why the clothing is not just an outfit, but also a tool for the players to fight.
At first glance, the clothes in the photo look like ordinary borders, but they are made of functional fabric from "The LYCRA Company" by Nanamika. The fabric is an original jersey made of organic cotton and COOLMAX® EcoMade fabric. EcoMade fabric. Its functionality of absorbing perspiration and keeping the skin dry is as good as a serious sports uniform.

Purple Label" socks, which are made of the same "COOLMAX® EcoMade fabric" knit material, keep feet dry and free from discomfort in the same way. We should add that the thick, softly knitted knit pile makes them extremely comfortable to wear.
We have been talking about high functionality in high spirits, but that alone does not make a fashion statement. The key to these clothes is the casual feel of the material, which is not a technical look, but rather a natural texture that is perfect for daily use. Thanks to this, these players can go straight out on the field when they are done competing. Clothing from NANAMICA and THE NORTH FACE Purple Label" are the ones that give them such freedom and comfort.

Everyone is looking for "just the right amount" of functionality and design to make everyday life comfortable. functionality and design.
