Nike Owen's Fifth Generation Disassembly Report
Owen's fifth generation is full of personality, and the good feedback of the ZOOM TURBO air cushion in the forefoot and the rounded outsole make the flexibility and cushioning in all directions of sports surprisingly coordinated, and it is specially made according to Owen's demand for shoes.
Cut the left shoe from it, and you can see the huge ZOOM TURBO air cushion on the front foot through the side section.
Separate the upper part of the right foot from the midsole.
The button cover shaped like venus flytrap is combined with the flying line technology of the shoe body to enhance the overall wrapping.
When the midsole is uncovered, you can see the ZOOM TURBO air cushion on the forefoot with a dent in the front.
ZOOM TURBO air cushion is not flat like other air cushions, but has obvious radian, which perfectly fits the outline of outsole.
You can directly see the ZOOM TURBO air cushion by opening the window of the forefoot palm midsole, and rubber and plastic materials are added to the forefoot palm midsole near the outsole to provide protection for the air cushion.
The round outsole is densely covered with Fatima eye lines, which has good grip in all directions.
Owen 5 configuration details
Owen 5 adopted a shoe cover design similar to flytrap in the shoelace area. The overall filling of the shoe cover is quite substantial, covering the instep of the sneaker and connecting with the dynamic flying line on the outside of the shoe, so that the shoe cover can be controlled by adjusting the shoelaces. Personally, I think this is a very creative original design. I believe that some colors of Owen 5 will play some tricks on this cover in the future.
Air cushion technology, the more unexpected thing is that this pair of Owen 5 cancels the design of air cushion in the back palm, but uses it in the front palm. In this area on the side of shoes, we can see that the name of "Nike Zoom" air cushion is changed to "Air Zoom Turbo", which is the core of the whole pair of shoes. The official claims that this air cushion covers the whole forefoot area, and the corresponding groove design is made to make the bending of the air cushion more flexible, satisfying Owen's sense of spirit and space on the court.
What does Owen's 5 feet feel like?
Owen 5 applied the iconic flytrap design in Owen series to the upper this time, bringing a brand-new dynamic wrapping system. Not only unique in shape, but also very practical in function. Compared with the traditional shoelace hole design, the elastic adjustment range is wider, no matter what your foot type is, you can adjust it to the appropriate tightness and always ensure the fit. The forefoot part is firmly pressed on the sole, and there is no sliding space at all, and there is no feeling of not following the foot at all. Although the sense of wrapping is very strong, the leaf-like texture design leaves a deformation space for bending, and there is no resistance and foreign body feeling when moving.
Owen 5 maintenance method
(1) Basketball shoes should be cleaned regularly, and the cleaning frequency varies with seasons. For example, in hot summer, you have to clean it once after playing three games on average. Remember when cleaning. Take out the insole first (shoes with shoelaces should be cleaned separately first). Brush the insole with a shoe brush or an old toothbrush, and don't scrub it hard. The shoe body should be scrubbed with a soft cloth, and the sole can be cleaned with a shoe brush, such as gravel on the sole.
(2) After cleaning, put it in a cool and ventilated place to dry naturally, and don't bake it in the scorching sun, because direct sunlight will accelerate the aging and cracking of the materials that make up the sneakers, and the shoes will become discolored and deformed.
(3) Don't let the sneakers come into contact with various chemicals, such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, alkali and other chemicals that can play a corrosive role. Besides, don't set your sneakers on fire. For example, in winter in the north, sneakers are not easy to dry after cleaning. Some people put their sports shoes on the stove or radiator. This is a wrong practice, because uneven heating or high temperature will cause the material of sneakers to shrink and deform.
