New technologies for making sneakers

In the modern world of high technology and innovation, it becomes more and more difficult to compete in the field of sports shoes. In the race for leadership, the global sportswear and footwear companies regularly introduce new sneaker models using the latest developments designed to make sports more comfortable and efficient.

Below are the most unexpected and progressive technologies used in modern running shoes that have made significant contributions to the development of athletic shoes for different sports.

Not so long ago, the German company Adidas introduced a new model for athletes-runners with a special Boost sole. The company's developers worked on the creation of a new technology in cooperation with a leading German company in the field of chemistry.

The base of the sole is made of a material called thermoplastic in the form of granules, which form energy-saving capsules. With the help of these granules, the athlete can achieve maximum energy return and a high level of shock absorption during runs.

Featuring the patented Traxion outsole tread, the Adidas Response Trail 17 offers unobstructed traction on slippery and wet surfaces. The unique spike shape on the outsole distributes pressure evenly across the foot for maximum comfort. Thus, rainy weather or light frosts will no longer be a reason to cancel your workout.

The Futurecraft 3D was the first Adidas shoe to be partially printed. This innovation allows custom-made elements to be incorporated into a shoe made to a common standard.

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 performed by robots.

A distinctive feature of this weaving is the absence of any seams. Only the tongue is sewn to the one-piece woven part of the sneaker. No there are simply no additional inserts and lining in the sneakers.

The breathability and flexibility of the shoe varies depending on how tight the weave is. A significant advantage of these one-piece sneakers is that during use, any discomfort associated with the seams is impossible.

With prolonged use, the upper part of the sneaker, as befits knitted and braided things, stretches, and the sneaker sits more freely on the foot. The problem is easily solved by washing.

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

The springs for sneakers are made from innovative foam with extra elasticity. The same material is used in the manufacture of bumpers for Formula 1 cars.... The size and size of these springs are matched to the size of the shoe.

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

Using a pump that looks like a soft button on the top of the shoe, air is pumped up and fills the channels where it needs to be. This technology was originally invented for the Reebok basketball shoe, but has since been widely used in other sports areas as well.

ZigTech technology is incorporated into the zig-zag outsole of the Reebok brand. Thanks to this innovation, the shoe is able to flex a lot, which is especially important during runs.

In addition, the technology helps to 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 the places of greatest impact on the feet. At its core, Hexalite is a layer of durable urethane with high shock absorption properties. This technology was later refined to give life to the new, more advanced Hexride.
