This product is aimed at nurturing the next generation of basketball talents by providing a convenient and secure way for children to practice dribbling indoors.

Development Story

The inception of the Air Dribble Cushion traces back to 2004 when the founder's daughter took an interest in basketball. Observing the challenges children faced in practicing outdoors due to noise and safety concerns, Imai Package Planning sought to create a solution. After years of development and overcoming initial rejections from various sports companies, the first Air Dribble product launched in 2016. Now, with challenges such as low-quality imitations in the market, the company remains dedicated to creating high-quality sports equipment and aims to build on its reputation further with the Air Dribble Cushion.

Looking Ahead

Imai Package Planning hopes to gain support from both individual backers and sports retailers for this project, targeting not only families but also professional teams who require multiple units for training. Through partnerships with local manufacturing companies, the firm is committed to ongoing product development beyond the Air Dribble Cushion.

The company's vision is clear: to support young athletes in achieving their dreams of excellence in sports by creating innovative solutions that meet their training needs.
