Recommended for such people
Recommended for those confident in their muscle strength that can withstand strong rebound forces.  
When wearing overseas manufacturer spikes like NIKE and ADIDAS, you can feel quite a bit of hardness.  
It becomes easier to feel as if you are being pushed up from the ground at takeoff, and those lacking muscle strength may be overwhelmed by that rebound force during takeoff, causing their hips to collapse. Therefore, this is a recommended pair for those confident in their muscle strength that can withstand strong rebound forces.  
When you can utilize your strength without being overwhelmed by the rebound force, it becomes an extraordinary shoe that demonstrates tremendous jumping ability.

Features

A belt that holds firmly

The upper is made of synthetic material, making it hard and durable.  
This sturdiness prevents deterioration of the shoes from strong impacts during takeoff.  
Additionally, the upper part of the toe has numerous air holes on the sides, allowing for relatively good ventilation.  
The upper is designed to be tightened with laces and a belt. The belt is attached at the ankle and is nearly twice as thick compared to high jump spikes from Mizuno and Asics.  
This results in a strong sense of hold around the ankle, providing stable tightening that does not wobble during takeoff.  
The combination of the stiff material and thick belt wraps the entire foot securely and strongly.

Maximum width inside the long jump spikes

The width is 9.7cm according to Picker's research.  
It boasts the widest size compared to high jump spikes from other manufacturers. The NIKE High Jump Elite (9.6cm) comes in second, just slightly narrower.  
The construction of the heel is robust, with a firm support inside, providing a hardness and stability similar to basketball shoes, allowing it to withstand significant impacts during takeoff and be worn for a long time.  
The shape of the toe is designed to be wider in the forefoot area, allowing for enough room that one can wear a size down from their usual shoe size.

A sole with ADIDAS-like grip

A typical configuration for high jump spikes, featuring 11 pins (7 in the front, 4 in the back), with replaceable 9mm metal parallel pins included.  
The hardness of the sole is firm, similar to NIKE, and ranks as the third hardest among high jump spikes.  
In particular, spikes from overseas manufacturers like NIKE and ADIDAS feel quite hard during actual wear, providing a sensation of being pushed up from the ground during takeoff, known for their rebound properties.  
The sharkskin, compared to Field Geo and High Jump Pro, has a coarser texture with larger irregularities and spacing, allowing the entire sole to grip the ground better, enhancing grip strength.  
Additionally, regardless of the takeoff foot, it is a universal model, so the insole is flat.

A sole that makes it easy to accelerate

The curvature of the sole resulted in the largest incline compared to high jump spikes from other manufacturers.  
The midsole features E.V.A. midsole, which is also used in running shoes, providing high cushioning.
