Q: What is the difference between Adidas and Nike s basketball shoes in terms of shock absorption?

Nike: Developed based on the most basic principles of gas damping, the early technology was simple and easy to understand.

In its simplest form, an air cushion can be understood as injecting air into a sealed plastic material to prevent shocks (or more directly injecting air into the midsole).

Later, it gradually developed and divided into several air chamber systems that inject a certain gas (compression rate) according to the different stress points of the human feet.

Max, literally, is an enhanced version of AIR that maximizes the volume of gas and achieves the maximum damping effect.

But things always develop contradictory.

The opposite effect of the damping effect of direct gas injection is that the reflection speed is slowed down and the durability of the air cushion is reduced due to the increase in the size of the air cushion.

adidas:

To put it simply: shock-absorbing glue. Prene is mostly used in the hind foot, and its main function is to distribute and minimize the pressure on it.

In other words, the longitudinal pressure is absorbed and digested laterally.

Later PRENE+ was the use of the opposite concept, providing a longitudinal ** force that acts as an increase in power at start-up.

elastic start point. For forefoot.

adidas are mainly rubber shock absorbers.

Nike is mostly an air cushion or air column.

Rubber shock absorption is safer, and the air cushion or air column is easy to break the foot!

adidas are mainly rubber shock absorbers.

1.Different materials: shock-absorbing running shoes use a large amount of cushioned midsole material, which is heavier in quality and has good breathability, which is a professional jogging shoe and belongs to the category of jogging shoes.

Generally, there are two kinds of running shoes, lightweight running shoes are made of ultra-light mesh material, and the midsole is also made of ultra-light material midsole, in order to reduce the weight of running shoes to the lightest, this kind of running shoes are suitable for long-distance running such as marathons, and the protection of the knees is very small, and the simple pursuit of speed is generally not recommended for runners to wear this kind of running shoes, classic running shoes are general casual shoes, plus some breathable materials and relatively low-end cushioning midsole, which is generally good in shape.

2.The purpose of the shirt is different: shock-absorbing running shoes emphasize more on the protection of the legs and knees of the person who uses the cavity, bias towards competition, and a disadvantage of running shoes, more emphasis on the comfort and appearance of running shoes, and bias towards protection.

In general, Nike cushioning relies on air cushions, and Adi cushioning relies on cushioning glue.

Nike's main types of cushions are:

Air-Sole: The most basic air cushion is made by pouring Nike Air gas into a tough layer of synthetic rubber at high pressure. Usually built-in, a few back palm windows.

Air Max: It is a window air cushion with greater air pressure and more air volume, which is basically similar to Air-Sole in structure.

Zoom: The best in the Nike cushion family. The principle of the Zoom cushion is not quite the same as that of SOLE and MAX, a layer of elastic fibers is added to the ZOOM, the fibers are not supportive, but stretched, in order to keep the shape of the cushion uniform, and quickly give shock absorption and feedback to the feet when exerting force.

In addition to the air cushions, Nike also has physical shock absorbing technology, such as the smash hit Shox air column. The SHOX principle is several elastic columns, on which are TPU plates to evenly distribute the power, not only basketball shoes, but also running shoes, which is a high-end series created by Nike. But the shortcomings are also obvious, that is, the foot feeling is not very good, the sole is relatively high, especially the stability has been criticized, and finally gradually declined.

Nike's PHYLON is a basic midsole foam technology that is lightweight, not durable, and typically paired with an Air-padded midsole.

Now let's talk about adidas.

The most classic technology of adidas and has been used to this day is the millennium unchanged Adiprene+ and Adiprene shock absorber, the former emphasizes **, the latter emphasizes cushioning, Adi's cushioning technology is almost all supported by these two technologies based on some deformations of the sole structure.

Of course, there is also Bounce, which is the shock absorption technology produced by Adi at that time to fight against Nike Shox, which also belongs to the mechanical mechanical suspension system, and has a good reputation after its launch, and the A3 Superstar Ultra launched at that time was endorsed by Garnett and Duncan, but the shoes were recalled worldwide due to process problems. Adi then developed the Bounce collection, which is more structured and is more commonly found in running shoes and basketball shoes.

Nike uses air cushions to cushion adidas uses a technology called boost foam to cushion If you are a larger size, Nike is more recommended than 70, and adidas is more recommended

The protection is mainly determined by the design of the shoe body and the material used. Taking the ankle as an example, a high-top basketball shoe generally protects the ankle better than a low-top or mid-top. Soft leather generally provides good cushioning, while hard resin plates or other hard hoppers can easily injure the ankle.

Speaking of cushioning, AD mainly focuses on Bounce and Nike mainly uses air cushions, and some also use SHOX. This is also to be analyzed according to different situations. My personal feeling is that the air cushion is more suitable for lightweight users, while the materials of Bounce and Shox are harder and suitable for heavier users.

There has always been a statistic that weighs 140 pounds, and most people think that this is a watershed, and I think this value is worth referencing.

Wear-resistant This characteristic personally thinks that AD's sole is better, of course, it is not excluded that Nike has special shoes for the field, such as spotlight and the like.

As for the subtle differences, I personally think that it is just a psychological effect, and I have personally experienced the above techniques, and it does not make much difference. The most important thing is to experience it yourself, don't be afraid that others will think you are troublesome, try as much as possible when buying shoes, and run and jump when trying to see if it suits you.

Nike has a lot of air cushions, such as Zoom Air, Air Bag, Air Sole, Air, EnCap Air, Air Max, Total Air and Air Shox, etc., the upper mainly has Flywire, FoamPosite, Synthetic Ledasite, Suede, Nubuck and Full Grain Leedather, and the sole has XDR and memory foam and so on; Adidas has fewer air cushions, only A3 plates and spring shock absorbers reinforced version of Bounce and A3 Structure, Formotion, mostly using Adiprene or Adiprene + foam, with Clima-Cool ventilation system, the upper is softer and uses memory foam, which is comfortable to wear, and the best point is non-marking wear-resistant formula rubber, which can improve the life of the sole a lot. Buy according to your needs, and if you have any questions, you can call me.

Basketball shoes Nike is good.

Jogging shoes ADI good.

The differences are as follows:

1) Shock-absorbing running shoes use a lot of cushioned midsole material, which is heavier in quality and has good breathability, making them professional jogging shoes. It falls under the category of jogging shoes.

2) There are two kinds of general running shoes, the lightweight running shoes are made of ultra-light mesh material, and the midsole is also made of ultra-light material midsole, in order to reduce the weight of the running shoes to the lightest, this kind of running shoes are suitable for long-distance running such as marathons, and the protective effect on the knees is very small. Classic running shoes are just plain casual shoes, with some breathable materials and a relatively low-end cushioned midsole, which is generally in good shape.
