The 4th collection will be released all at once at 10:00 on 11/26 (Sat.)!
General Incorporated Association Pickup Playground (Representative Director / Naoyuki Akiba) will start selling the 4th apparel collection, which is the foundation of its activities, from Saturday, November 26th. As in the past, we will launch a total of 15 new products from five brands: basketball apparel brands “AKTR” and “ballaholic,” basketball brand “TACHIKARA,” street basketball league “SOMECITY,” and street basketball tournament “ALLDAY.” will produce a garbage pick-up kit and use it in the event “PICK UP PLAYGROUND” where all participants will pick up garbage and pick up games.
What is PICK UP PLAYGROUND?
“PICK UP PLAYGROUND” is a project for the future where basketball courts will continue to exist in parks and will increase throughout Japan. In other countries, a variety of players gather in a park and form an impromptu team to play a game called a pick-up game. All his players who gathered at the event, regardless of age or gender, played a pick-up game, and after it was over, all the participants picked up the garbage. Through these events, the number of acquaintances increases, conversations are born even in daily use, and a community is nurtured. The community creates autonomy in the court, and the rules for using the court are created by the morals of the users. I am envisioning such a future. This project, which started in November last year, started in Tokyo’s Yoyogi Park and Komazawa Park, and received more than 50 applications from all over the country for the area organizer recruitment released in March. Every weekend, basketball and garbage pick-up are held at playgrounds somewhere in the country, and a culture of self-government is spreading throughout the country, where people “protect their own courts.”
