Company Summary

Some of Nike's and Adidas' soccer stars choose to wear SAK shin guards. That's because they're custom made to perfectly fit their body and use cutting-edge materials, making them safer and more comfortable.
SAK is now offering this product to amateur players by placing 3D scanners in retail stores and by launching an app that enables legs' scanning at home.
The result is a mass customization platform where everyone can tailor their protection.
