The most striking thing about T-MAC4 is its hug system, which means hug in English. T-MAC4 has its own unique technology in covering the feet: in T-MAC4, the designer canceled the design of shoelaces and replaced them with rotatable buttons on the heels, and T-MAC4 filled the inner boots with elastic and soft materials. The elastic tongue part of Lycra shoes can make the wearer not feel forced to put them in when wearing shoes. With the adjustment of buttons, both sides of shoes gradually tighten with the rotation of knobs, which is the first pair of shoeless basketball shoes introduced by Adi.
In the appearance of shoes, it is said that the design of T-MAC4 was inspired by McGrady's sports car lights. It continues the simple style of previous generations of products, without too many fancy decorations, but only brings some fashion sense through color changes.
Let's first introduce the soul technology of this pair of shoes-the structure of the hugging system: Adidas designers found that the best way to fix the foot is to press the foot on the insole, tighten the heel and fix it on the cushioning outsole to ensure the best pressure dispersion effect and tighten the foot comprehensively. The hug elements in the middle and bottom of the foot-wrapping part are designed in different shapes and placed in different areas to completely wrap and tighten the foot. Only in this way can the athlete's feet really adapt to this system. From the unprecedented initial mode to the present, HUG has been providing the most powerful foot binding support. The openable area behind the shoe also officially provides perfect sports comfort. One of the most critical parts to drive all this is the traction line channel. Hugging needs to effectively tighten the athlete's feet down and back and fix them on the midsole. Therefore, it is the key to find the most ideal traction line track to realize this function. You can see some labels on the midsole of shoes, which is the basis for tightening the holding element to the most comfortable position, followed by the function of closing the adjusting device. Obviously, the wearer will adjust the hugging element by pulling the wire as needed to achieve the desired tightness. Therefore, we will improve the gear device that provides coarse and wide adjustment into a screw button device that can fine-tune the tightness. This knob device is placed at the back of the heel, because it is the most stable part of the whole pair of shoes, and the tightening element can be tightened symmetrically to wrap the foot. When the external movable lever is closed, the edge becomes a simple, fast and most effective closed system.
The revolutionary locking system of T-MAC 4 shoes can ensure internal fixation and provide excellent comfort and fit. This design, called Hug System, started at 200 1, and Adidas' elite R&D team kept imagining it in the office and laboratory. The concept of this design comes from the closed system of snowboards. Martin Jones of Adidas R&D team and other partners who invented the hug system said, "Our goal is to use the linear locking system of ski boots to see if this design concept can also be applied to high-performance basketball shoes. First of all, we try to find the best tension state to achieve the highest stability and safety of the product. We want to tie the athlete's feet in the shoes more safely, thus providing higher comfort and safety. " McGrady himself said the advantages of wearing basketball shoes without shoes. "When you stay on the court for a short time, your shoelaces will always get tangled and your shoes will come loose; Even though the shoelaces are tied at first to make the whole shoe tight, they often come loose before the end of the first quarter. The T-MAC 4 firmly locks the foot with the lever behind the shoe, so it can keep the fit unchanged, so the shoe will not wrinkle or loosen, and it can maintain excellent comfort during the game. " This is the subtlety of the hugging system, which has many advantages such as easy to use and improving the coverage of sneakers. This innovative way of wearing shoes is also a breakthrough that everyone expects.
