CW-X and Shohei Ohtani: Supporting Challengers through Performance

The CW-X brand, a notable player in the conditioning wear market developed by Wacoal Corporation, has recently joined forces with baseball superstar Shohei Ohtani for an inspiring initiative titled "Good Performance de Ikimashou!" This collaboration kicked off on July 17, with an impressive response that has seen more than 300 applications from various baseball teams across Japan, encompassing a wide range of participants, from students to adult leagues, as reported by the company by the end of August.

As a part of this initiative, selected teams will receive the [Body Balance Up Tights], designed to enhance stability and performance during play. The first recipients were the Hirakata High School Girls Baseball Team based in Osaka and the AiAi company baseball team from Kyoto. Enthusiastic feedback from these teams highlights the positive impact of the clothing.

Members of Hirakata High School's team—59 dedicated players along with coaches—have already started using the tights in their training sessions. They expressed experiences such as, "I feel my pelvis stabilizing" and "the sense of balance in my hip joints is impressive," showcasing the effectiveness of the product in enhancing their physicality.

Similarly, the AiAi team, with members aged 18 to 41 who balance their jobs with a passion for baseball, shared their experiences. One player noted, "I felt grounded with less sway from my hip joints to my legs," echoing the benefits of stability emphasized by Ohtani himself.

The project aims to distribute approximately 5,000 pairs of the [Body Balance Up Tights] to baseball teams nationwide and to individuals who are physically active in their daily work. The current phase of the project invites applications from those involved in baseball until September 30.

Participants' Enthusiasm

As seen in the interactions with the Hirakata High School team, the tights not only enhance physical performance but also inspire a competitive spirit among players. One student commented, "Even though I am in my third year and major competitions are over, I want my juniors to wear these tights and train hard to achieve the pinnacle of success in our sport."

Another team member, who plays as both a pitcher and catcher, mentioned that wearing the [Body Balance Up Tights] helped her maintain a solid stance when crouching, leading to improved pitching performance. She expressed her ambition to become a leading player like Ohtani, aiming to push her team forward.

From the AiAi team, the players voiced the importance of their physical care due to their dual responsibilities. One commented, "We are always looking for good items to incorporate into our routines. Wearing the [Body Balance Up Tights], we felt a notable improvement in our movements, enhancing our overall team performance."

Highlights of the Project

This initiative reinforces the commitment of both CW-X and Ohtani to support individuals striving to improve daily through sport and activity. By aligning with Ohtani’s dedication to fitness and performance excellence, CW-X expresses a deep understanding of the struggles and triumphs athletes face.

Future Opportunities

The project welcomes applications for its upcoming phase focusing on individuals who engage in physical work, with details being disclosed shortly. With a strong foundation of support and practical engagement through their popular bodywear, CW-X aims to uplift the efforts of thousands in their pursuit of athletic and professional excellence.

As Ohtani himself has said regarding CW-X, "It has become one of my essential supports. I hope everyone who moves daily can feel CW-X as a part of themselves and experience its benefits!"

Closing Thoughts

CW-X continues to innovate, having originally developed the pioneering sport tights in 1991, integrating taping principles into sportswear. The brand echoes the spirit of those who embrace the challenge, providing numerous products, including tights, tops, and sports bras, fostering a healthier, more active lifestyle across varied sports and activities.
