New sneaker technology

In the modern world of high technology and innovation, competing in the field of sports shoes is becoming increasingly difficult. Global sportswear and footwear companies in the race for leadership regularly present new models of sneakers using the latest developments designed to make sports more comfortable and effective.

Below are the most unexpected and progressive technologies used in modern sneakers, which have made a significant contribution to the development of sports shoes for various sports.

Not so long ago, the German company Adidas introduced a new model for runners with special Boost soles. The company's developers worked on creating a new technology in collaboration with a leading German company in the field of chemistry.

The base of the sole is a material called thermoplastic in the form of granules that form energy-saving capsules. Using these granules, an athlete can achieve maximum energy efficiency and a high level of amortization during jogging.

The Adidas Response Trail 17 sneaker model, equipped with the patented tread on the Traxion sole, allows you to move freely on slippery and wet surfaces. The unique shape of the spikes on the sole allows you to evenly distribute the pressure on the foot, providing maximum comfort. Thus, rainy weather or light frosts will no longer be an excuse to cancel the workout.

Futurecraft 3D sneakers were the first Adidas to be partially printed on the printer. This innovation makes it possible to introduce elements made according to individual standards into sneakers made according to common standards.

The production of such sneakers in the near future is planned to be fully robotized, today most of the work on the production of this model is carried out by robots.

A distinctive feature of this weaving is the absence of any seams. Only the tongue is sewn to the seamlessly woven part of the shoe. No there are simply no additional inserts and underlay material in sneakers.

Depending on how tight weaving the sneakers are, their breathability and flexibility vary. A significant advantage of such integral sneakers is that during operation, any discomfort associated with the seams is impossible.

During prolonged use, the upper part of the shoe, as befits knitted and woven items, stretches, and the sneakers sit on the foot more freely. The problem is easily solved by washing.

After creating the legendary air cushion in the sole of the sneakers using Nike Air technology, the company's developers worked on new projects for a decade and a half. And the result of their work was Shox technology. It consists of special springs located at the back of the sole of the shoe, which give excellent cushioning and energy efficiency during training.

Springs for sneakers are made from innovative foam, which has a special elasticity. The same material is used in the manufacture of bumpers for Formula 1 cars. In accordance with the size of the sneakers, the size and size of these springs are selected.

Reebok's air injection technology is designed to make sneakers fit for everyone. It implies the presence in sneakers of a special frame that forms air channels around the entire perimeter of the shoe.

Using a pump that looks like a soft button on the top of the shoe, air is pumped and fills the channels in the right places. Initially, this technology was invented for Reebok basketball sneakers, but later began to be widely used in other sports directions.

ZigTech technology consists in the zigzag sole of Reebok sneakers. Thanks to this innovation, sneakers can bend very much, which is especially important during jogging.

In addition, the technology helps protect the feet from mechanical damage and helps to reduce the load on the legs during sports.

The sole made using this technology looks like a honeycomb in places of the greatest impact on the feet. At its core, Hexalite is a layer of durable urethane with high cushioning properties. This technology was later improved and gave life to a new, more advanced Hexride.
