SHIELDÉ Sports Line: When Comfort Meets Innovation

In the evolving world of activewear, SHIELDÉ, developed by Toko Shoji Co., Ltd., has introduced a groundbreaking sports line that marries long-sleeve design with exceptional cooling capabilities. Set to launch via the Makuake crowdfunding platform on April 13, 2026, this new sportswear line is designed for those who lead active lifestyles and demand performance wear that keeps up with their movements.

The SHIELDÉ Sports Line features patented heat dissipation and heat shielding technologies that allow for extreme comfort even during intense activity. While traditional long-sleeve wear may trap heat, SHIELDÉ effectively releases the body heat generated by physical exertion. This innovative approach ensures that wearers Stay cool and comfortable while fully engaged in their preferred activities, be it running, training, or outdoor sports.

Innovative Technologies: Beyond Just Coolness

SHIELDÉ's development stems from the need to address common challenges faced by active individuals. Many long-sleeve sports garments tend to be overly hot, leading to discomfort during workouts. Furthermore, sweat accumulation can lead to chilly, damp attire as temperatures fluctuate, especially outdoors. The new line directly counters these issues with a dual approach: combining TERAX COOL® and NEO COLD® technologies, SHIELDÉ effectively manages heat retention while offering UV protection.

This unique blend of cooling techniques ensures optimal body temperature regulation, empowering wearers to focus on their performance without the distraction of discomfort from excessive heat or sweat.

A Fusion of Aesthetics and Functionality

The fabric used in SHIELDÉ is created through an advanced process that merges the functionality of two proprietary materials, TERAX COOL® and NEO COLD®. This innovative fabric composition not only allows for efficient heat management but also retains a stylish appearance.

• - TERAX COOL® provides a cooling effect while simultaneously blocking harmful UV rays, making it perfect for outdoor activities.
• - NEO COLD®, made with crystalline ingredients, integrates well into the fabric, presenting a visually appealing surface that minimizes print visibility while enhancing antibacterial properties alongside heat management.

The seamless integration of style and performance in SHIELDÉ ensures that athletes and enthusiasts won't have to choose one over the other, enhancing both their confidence and capability during every activity.
