What kind of shoes will Liu Xiang wear, and what is the model of Liu Xiang s running shoes?

The spikes, called Zoom Aerofly LX, are hurdle spikes specially designed and developed for Liu Xiang by a well-known sports product company. The upper is a vivid yellow, the sole is red, and each shoe weighs 214 grams. The company has prepared 8 to 10 pairs of these shoes for Liu Xiang to compete in the Beijing Olympics.

The special spiked upper is made of the latest innovation released this year and a special synthetic leather material, so it is lighter and provides better support for Liu Xiang's feet.

This new spike could also solve a problem that has been left unsolved: foot slippage. When people walk or run with shoes on, there is a slippage of the foot with every step.

It's only a 1mm slip, but it adds up throughout the race. After 1,000 meters of stride, the difference between first and third place is often less than 1 meter, so this figure should not be taken lightly.

In addition, the sole is completely designed for Liu Xiang's technical characteristics. It is reported that Liu Xiang personally participated in the design discussion of the shoe, and one of his favorite parts of the sole is the design of the forefoot with only five spikes, which reduces the weight of the shoe body, and the position of the spikes can also reduce the pressure on the pressure points of the foot, and can increase the grip.

According to Liu Xiang himself, before the start, he would close his eyes and silently recall: "Are the shoelaces tied?" Are the spikes stable?

Are your clothes tidied up? At the last minute, he would calm down, glue the buckle on the shoe again, and then stand up without any worries and go into full game. This magic buckle became Liu Xiang's psychological pressure relief valve.

Therefore, in this upper, which originally pursued extreme lightweight, the buckle design was retained, which was completely to help Liu Xiang enter the most concentrated state of competition. And the zipper was also asked by Liu Xiang to be kept, because he didn't like the long shoelaces to affect his performance, so he simply wrapped the shoelaces in the zipper.

Nike**, very light and thin.

There are many models of running shoes worn by Liu Xiang, and the following is a list of the running shoes he wears to participate in competitions:

zoom superfly g5。

Nike's Zoom SuperFly G5 for power sprinters is available in red, white, and gold. In the men's 110-meter hurdles final of the Athens Olympics, Liu Xiang wore a white model. Lighter than Michael Johnson's famous "golden running shoes" at the Sydney Olympics, the "red magic shoes" accompanied the oriental flyer Liu Xiang to set a world record of 12.88 seconds.

nike zoom superfly r4。

The London 2012 Olympic Games track and field competition ended in the men's 110m hurdles heats at the "London Bowl" Olympic Stadium. Chinese flyer Liu Xiang fell to the ground due to an accident when he hit the first hurdle directly, and finally jumped over the finish line with one leg and missed the cut, wearing the Nike Zoom Superfly R4 at his feet.

Introduction to Liu Xiang's Olympic running shoe "Zoom Superfly G5".

Liu Xiang's current running shoes are the "Zoom Superfly G5" designed by Nike for power sprinters, and there are three styles: red, white, and gold. In the men's 110-meter hurdles final of the Athens Olympics, Liu Xiang wore a white model. Lighter than Michael Johnson's famous "golden running shoes" at the Sydney Olympics, the "red magic shoes" accompanied the oriental flyer Liu Xiang to set a world record of 12.88 seconds.

It's broken though.

Key Technology: The front strap frame design provides full locking of the foot surface while maximizing power transmission.

The lightweight, wedge-in phylon midsole keeps the running shoe lightweight. The ground-level low-rise midsole design provides protection against impact forces.

Flexible PEDAX nylon tow plate with linked forefoot provides protection for rotation during movement.

5 detachable spikes provide more grip in the main grip area.

The upper of this running shoe features a special perforated design, a "locking" system at the toe, and 5 transmutable spikes on the elastic sole plate for a comfortable fit.

Liu Xiang's Olympic running shoes are ZoomSuperflyG5 Nike running shoes, but he wore white at the Olympics.

Combat boots: one year modification, each weighing only 214 grams.

Imagine a pair of paper-thin running shoes with an upper less than 2 microns thick and supported ...... only fine fibersThis is the feature of the upper of the boots that Liu Xiang will wear in the 110-meter hurdles battle at the Beijing Olympics. The high-strength wires resemble the steel cables of a suspension bridge, each wire is precisely positioned where the foot needs to be supported, and by reducing the material required for the upper to the point of being barefoot, the entire upper is thinner and more conformable to the foot. It is reported that the weight of Liu Xiang's combat boots is only 214 grams each.

The boot also solves a long-standing problem: foot slippage. When people walk or run with shoes on, there is a slippage of the foot with every step.

It's only a 1mm slip, but it adds up throughout the race. At a stride of 1 metre, after 1,000 metres, it equates to a full loss of 1 metre – and the gap between first and third place is often less than 1 metre, so this figure cannot be ignored. Therefore, when this problem is solved, it can also help Liu Xiang improve his performance to a certain extent.

Of course, as a tailor-made combat boot for Liu Xiang, there are many Liu Xiang elements. Liu Xiang has good explosiveness and powerful landing, so Nike uses a special carbon fiber bottom plate to make a solid forefoot, borrowing the power of Liu Xiang when he lands, and helps his feet bounce up quickly after landing. Since Liu Xiang lands on the forefoot when he lands on the hurdle, and the back foot does not land, Nike uses the design of the front half of the bottom plate as a carbon fiber plate, and the rear bottom plate uses special rubber with good shock absorption effect.
