The original intention of Nike DUNK series basketball shoes is actually a pair of basketball shoes with good adhesion to the ground. A slam dunk is a slam dunk. In fact, Dunk is based on Air Jordan 1 in design, so they all have excellent grip performance and sense of space, which ensures that those excellent players can move lightly and stably on the court, so their performance is impeccable. DUNK is reclassified in the new design, including the casual version of DUNK LOW with low tube and the original design of DUNK HI with high tube. There is a more detailed classification in terms of functions. As the lowest original design, DUNK is positioned as ordinary casual shoes, followed by DUNK PRO SB, positioned as low-end skateboard and high-end leisure. On the basis of the ordinary prototype DUNK, he added a super-thick tongue, which increased the skateboarding feeling and comfort of the shoes themselves, and added a sense of carrying like DUNK PRO. The most important thing is to change the insole into a fairly technical ZOOM AIR insole, and the shock absorption effect is absolutely first-class.
The full name of "DUNK SB" is DUNK LOW(HI) PRO SB. In the past, "DUNK" was just a pair of ordinary basketball shoes, but now "DUNK" has been injected with more fashion elements by Nike, and zoom air and thick-tongued "DUNK SB" have gradually become the backbone of Nike skateboarding shoes.
The air force series basketball shoes Nike Air Force 1 was born in 1982 and is deeply rooted in basketball. At that time, six basketball players were selected to speak for the shoes: moses malone, michael cooper, jamaal wilkes, bobby jones, mychal thompson and calvin natt.
They are carefully selected defense experts, and they brought this basketball shoe to the world. Classic poster, tough stance, Malone and his partners showed the six elements of AF 1 success: grandeur, persistence, transcendence, heroism, coherence and purity.
1982, Nike selected the "top six" professional basketball players as the spokesperson of Nike Air Force One. They took off from the track on this classic poster and successfully flew over basketball and culture. From this moment on, basketball is no longer the basketball defined before.
In fact, Nike Air Force One is more than just a pair of shoes: it is also an experience, and it is also a bridge connecting its birthplace with a culture, which in turn enables it to survive. "The first six people" are six primitive chains: six funk messengers of music, freedom and strength.
In 2007, Nike re-selected six stars to speak for Nike Air Force One. Even though Nike Air Force One has left the basketball court, its sportsmanship still exists. Kobe Bryant, LeBron, Rasheed Wallace, Amar'e Stoudemire, Tony Parker and vincent carter became the "new six" of Nike Air Force One, and undertook the historical mission of carrying forward the spirit of Nike Air Force One.
At this point, the nature of Nike Air Force 1 has changed, and it is no longer a pure basketball shoe, but a street trend shoe. But its influence has never diminished. Witnessed the rapid development of basketball in the1/4th century. Now it has become a versatile shoe for hipsters and an indispensable trend object.
The innovative works of that year have become the classics of the past today. If Nike created Nike Air Force One, today, Air Force One no longer belongs to Nike alone, but has become a symbol of the whole sports shoes culture. Today, Nike Air Force One perfectly interprets the word retro.
Designers have injected new soul into Nike Air Force 1 with brand-new colors and patterns. It has become a must-have shoe for young Americans.
Similarly, Nike Air Force One has been given different themes to express on sports shoes, and it has also become the prey of collectors. Some have even been marked to the sky-high price of 10 thousand yuan.
AIR MAX series basketball shoes Max AIR is the second kind of air cushion introduced by Nike. It is improved on the basis of Nike's earliest air cushion. It was introduced in 1987, and used for classic sports shoes AIR MAX 1. This shoe is named AIR MAX 1 because it is the first pair of sports shoes equipped with MAX AIR air cushion.
MAX air cushion will belong to NIKE air cushion series, which makes maximum use of gas and is the best protection system in the face of impact. Because people's feet repeatedly hit the ground during exercise, it will cause great damage to their health and sports performance. MAX air cushion can share the strong impact load of athletes and give them comprehensive protection.
In 2006, Nike developed AIR MAX 360 and 360-degree AIR MAX air cushion.
AIR MAX 360 focuses on providing runners with more comfortable wearing experience and better sports performance. The foam-free air cushion structure of the midsole brings you a brand-new walking feeling-softer, more stable and more comfortable. The revolutionary air cushion system combines AIR MAX 360 air cushion technology. In order to provide the most comfortable wearing feeling, many air cushion technologies are applied to a pair of sports shoes.
AIR ZOOM series basketball shoes zoom air stands for "impact air cushion", which is what we usually call ZOOM, and is often used on Nike's top sneakers as cushioning.
Zoom Air is a technology introduced in the last century. Before Zoom Air, there was a predecessor called tensil air, but the technology developed rapidly, and then Zoom Flight 95 and Zoom Flight 96 became popular all over the world. As far as the sweetness of shock absorption is concerned, I don't think anyone will stop it. I've seen some things like visible zoom since. Maximum zoom or double stack zoom, etc. This year, Nike upgraded Zoom Air technology again, making Zoom Air a "top performance platform"!
The color system extracted from advertisements in1980s has created new technologies and lines. "The old school and the old school have an intersection. Personally, the most punctual thing is the improvement of the midsole, which has achieved two seemingly opposite goals of "closer to the ground" and "more shock absorption", making the sports car closer to the ground but more shock absorption. Nike did it! According to my previous relationship with ZOOM BB, I can tell you that this is a very promising new style. Because of the implantation of new technology, several pairs of casual models that continue the mix and match style are particularly interesting. Please be sure to check out! ! Compared with Max Air and Air-Sole, this kind of air cushion is harder, but it also provides better elasticity and better response for the wearer. Therefore, shoes equipped with this kind of air cushion are generally provided for guards and some small forwards in basketball shoes. There are also some shoes with ZOOM AIR in front and MAX AIR in the back, which have the advantages of both air cushions.
ZOOMAIR is generally invisible outside shoes, and the words ZOOM AIR are generally written on shoes with this air cushion.
Representative shoes include Zoom Kobe, Zoom Huarache2k and Zoom LeBron series.
Zoom air damping principle
First, the structure of zoom air is a flat air cushion, and then there are many nylon fibers in the middle. There are fabric planes at the upper and lower ends of the fiber, which can be fixed on the upper and lower inner walls of the air cushion by hot pressing. Because the gas expands in the same direction, it tends to form a ball, so it will straighten the nylon fiber into a tight state, thus forming a balance, so as to maintain such a thin thickness (8mm), otherwise it will definitely strand. Because the area outside the key stress parts of the whole palm zoom air is larger than that before and after, there are more nylon fibers that can provide tension, which is helpful for shock absorption and elasticity. The designer of zoom air himself mentioned that the shock absorption performance of the full-palm Zoom air is always surprising.
However, from the point of view that the arch needs more support than shock absorption, in fact, it is still possible to expand the scope of zoom air to the part outside the arch and increase the thickness (zoom max) to improve the shock absorption ability, instead of using the full palm zoom air, which will definitely be ideal.
The English meaning of AIR FLIGHT series basketball shoes FLIGHT is "flying, flying", which has become synonymous with "lightness, quickness and agility" in the field of sports shoes. In China, shoe fans translate it into "wind", which is apt and mysterious.
Flying sneakers are for perimeter players, and most of them have a light and avant-garde appearance, while their performance focuses on acceleration, direction change and bounce. The popularity of Air Jordan series has brought basketball shoes into an era in which guard shoes dominate the world, and also greatly promoted the development of flight, which is still enduring. As the pioneering work of the flight series, AIR FLIGHT 89 was not fully accepted by the market in that year, and the market potential of this series was really released until the launch of AIR FLIGHT LITE in 199 1. Scott Pippen, the number one spokesperson of AIR FLIGHT LITE, has grown into the best small forward in the league in the Bulls. Before his personal signature shoes were put on the sale schedule and the flight series had not evolved into "ZOOM FLIGHT", the combination of Pippen and AIR FLIGHT LITE took the lead in opening the glorious moment of flight. Now this pair of AIR FLIGHT LITE HI is back in our sight. As a high-top shoe, this pair of shoes has a rare high-top to the calf. The first white/fluorescent green color scheme is Nike's logo color system in the early 1990s. In today's era of advocating retro, it can attract the attention of fashion people with its pure sense of the times. In a sense, the built-in AIR SOLE of AIR FLIGT LITE HI is not so glamorous, but it has won the advantage of durability for sneakers. The transparent ice bottom of sports shoes and the unique "F" logo faithfully reproduced on the tongue of early flight series will surely remind you of the flight memory of "Bison" Pippen.
SHOX series basketball shoes SHOX: elastic shock-absorbing column made of special material, which has shock-absorbing and buffering effects. Made of high-density polyurethane. Its advantage is quick response, but its disadvantage is that it is difficult for light athletes to feel it, and it is widely questioned because of its hardness. One attractive aspect of SHOX technology is that it can be adjusted according to the needs of specific sports or even specific athletes, and its prospect is very exciting. Connected to the SHOX cylinder is a TPU (Thermoelectric Plastic Polyurethane Rubber) heel, which provides support for the heel while dispersing the impact force of the SHOX cylinder. SHOX replaced the real spring with a high-density polyurethane foam column. It can absorb the energy of impact and convert it into kinetic energy. SHOX shoes have good skid resistance, because the solid SHOX air column is placed on the outermost side of the outsole. According to the lever principle, the moment of side impact force = the moment at the joint of the air column, but the arm at the joint is long, so the force is small and the side slip is not sloppy. SHOX elastic cushioning system is the latest sneaker technology officially launched by Nike in June of 5438+0 1. It experienced a marathon study in June 5438+06. At the same time, NIKE SHOX series sports shoes are the products with the longest research and development time and the most stringent test in the history of shoemaking. The shape design of the heel elastic buffer column is inspired by the rocket booster. NIKESHOX's elastic cushioning column is not a common material, but a high-tech foamed wear-resistant and highly elastic material, which was mainly used in the chassis suspension system of Formula One racing cars in the past. The principle of these elastic buffer columns is like a trampoline. "Absorb and control the energy of falling impact and push it up quickly. However, I personally feel that SHOX is hard, and my knees are a little uncomfortable after VC4. But this may not be a direct injury to the knee by SHOX. As we all know, dunking is harmful to your knees, even if you wear the best shoes. This may be the direct cause.
