The shoe of champions

Brought to the world by Japan’s table tennis champions of the 1960s and 1970s, the Koyo Bear Sharpman dominated the international table tennis stage for decades.

Designed by table tennis legend Ichiro Ogimura, the Sharpman offered players a never-before-seen level of movement, grip, and flexibility, enabling the lightning-fast footwork and reflexes that encapsulated Ogimura’s offensive playing style.
