On August 8, 2022, we watched the Anta Innovation and Technology Conference together —– the secret of Olympic running training? ——-Olympic running shoes. Olympic running shoes appeared at the press conference as the protagonist of the Anta Innovation and Technology Conference. As the protagonist, what innovative technologies have attracted the attention of many runners? Let’s take a look together. That is nitrogen supercritical physical foaming.
When it comes to Olympic running training, it must be inseparable from a pair of comfortable running shoes. Then what is the highlight of this pair of running shoes. There is no doubt that it is nitrogen supercritical physical foaming.
“Compared with the traditional foaming technology that uses carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, Nitrogen supercritical physical foaming uses nitrogen foaming, which reduces carbon dioxide emissions, is more environmentally friendly, and more sustainable. This is also in response to the national policy of “carbon neutrality.” The highlight of this year’s Olympic running shoes is mainly nitrogen supercritical physical foaming, and carbon tube suspension is added on this basis.
This Olympic running shoe is said to be specially made for the 5-10 km running training of the Chinese national team. The purpose is to prevent athletes from sports injuries during the training process and provide strong cushioning. Therefore, this pair of shoes, which focus on stability, protection, and cushioning, can not only be used for training by the Chinese national team, but also provide the same effect for mass runners.
Nitrogen supercritical physical foaming is a midsole technology: through the physical foaming process of injecting nitrogen into the supercritical foaming process of the midsole material. Full palm nitrogen technology effectively improves rebound, cushioning, durability and comfort.
With the blessing of nitrogen supercritical physical foaming in the midsole, the cushioning performance of the midsole is 26% higher than that of the previous midsole, ensuring the flick and sustainable durability of the midsole experience. The thickness of the midsole is also considerable this time, and the heel has an extended design, which brings a cooler foot feel and stronger cushioning.
The biggest highlight of the running shoes is that they are equipped with a newly developed carbon tube suspension system, which improves the stability by more than 20%. Ordinary running shoes use flat or three-dimensional carbon plates, but this shoe is equipped with hollow tubular carbon fibers, which can more effectively prevent the midfoot from excessive bending and collapse during running, and provide stronger arch support.
During the running process, because the carbon tube suspension is under the supercritical foam midsole material, the arch support is not strong, and there will be no arch acid feeling when wearing it, and it can effectively form force transmission. After putting on the foot, you can feel the foot feeling brought by the full palm nitrogen technology midsole, which is even better and more elastic than Boost.
The upper of this pair of Olympic running shoes is also very comfortable and stretchable, suitable for any foot shape. And as a pair of training running shoes that focus on cushioning, stability and protection. The widening of the forefoot and the widening of the heel are also essential. The design of the CUP-shaped midsole and the cup-shaped insole can also greatly improve the stability.
And for the heel area, there are not only external TPU but also the upper bag and heel widening of the midsole nitrogen technology, so the front and rear anti-rollover are very stable.
The midsole design with the heel gradient structure and the external TPU connected to the heel are combined with the upper and the midsole, which can increase the cushioning limit of the whole pair of shoes and stabilize the state when landing, better absorb shock, and rebound significantly when landing. Whether it is the upper, midsole, or foot feel, you can’t find any faults. It is suitable for a large number of people, and you will not suffer from arch soreness after long-term training and running. The running shoes made for the Olympics are worth trying and owning.
