Introduced in the late 1970s, the Sharpman Nimble is one of the successors of Koyo Bear’s classic Sharpman. Continuing the legacy of its famous predecessor, the Sharpman Nimble, with its advanced features, became the shoe of choice for many world-class players throughout the 1980s.

The re-edition of the Nimble is handmade and vulcanized in Japan, following the shoe’s original high standards and production methods, ready to start a new journey on and off the table tennis court.
