In the past two years, there has been a new trend in the field of running shoes, and every year in March and April, domestic racing running shoes are like ushering in a "big test", and the racing running shoes of various sports brands are intensively launched during this time. If last year's domestic racing running shoes were in the "catch-up" period, then this year we call them "racing to bloom" must be the most appropriate.
Today, we will take stock of the "Warring States Seven Heroes" in this season's domestic racing running shoes, see the many bold new attempts made by domestic sports brands in innovation after another year of development, and understand the new trend of domestic racing running shoes. In the past, domestic running shoes often became the reason for runners to buy because of "cost performance", I believe that after the wonderful appearance of this season's "Warring States Seven Heroes", everyone will be impressed by the hard power of domestic racing running shoes.
Bold breakthrough brave into the sky
361° flying
In this year's racing shoes, the 361° flying bag is arguably the "boldest" innovation. The thickness of the back palm is as high as 39mm, directly approaching the upper thickness of the midsole recognized by the World Athletics (World Athletics) is 40mm, and the full PEBA supercritical foam is like a powerful engine; the first domestic running shoe with the separation of the front and back palms of the cushion layer ensures performance output while achieving weight reduction; the use of the largest area of carbon plates in the current running shoe to achieve simultaneous increase in propulsion and stability; the upturned curvature of the toe part of the shoe is quite "exaggerated", so that the center of gravity is just moved to the forward palm area. You can clearly feel the rolling sensation of the footsteps.
For some runners to ask the question "why the carbon plate at the heel is not set on the inside as usual, but appears on the outside", the product team actually integrated their own thinking - a large proportion of runners' footsteps initially touch the ground are on the outside, so the carbon plate valgus design of the heel can control the deformation of the midsole within a reasonable range and improve stability; for the support required for the inside of the arch, it is achieved through the widening of the foot part of the carbon plate.
Compared with the flying fire launched last year, the change in the flying fly can be called "earth-shaking", and this "radical adventure" in the eyes of the prudent faction has opened up its own path for the 361° flying flying.
"Drag change" for half a year only for "adaptive"
Peak UP30 2.0 ELITE
Originally scheduled to launch the Peak Racing series in August last year, because of the ultimate pursuit of quality and experience, "Drag Change" finally officially launched the Peak UP30 2.0 Elite in March this year. Its appearance helped Peak to re-stand on the same running line with his opponents after a period of absence from the racing shoe field.
Since the advent of auto-polar technology, "adaptive" has been integrated into the DNA of the Peak brand, which means that whether it is the comfort feeling or the performance of racing, Peak hopes that the same experience can be enjoyed by a wider audience. As a representative of the race, the UP30 2.0 Elite has broadened the range of people suitable for thick-soled carbon board running shoes with the word "stability". It increases the back palm width to one of the best in the industry at 8.5cm, the forefoot carbon plate is simultaneously widened and thickened, and the inside of the arch provides ample support, all of which show that the UP30 2.0 Elite wants to hold you to the end in your racing run.
The first appearance of the cushioning material bio-based surging technology, extracting raw materials from natural castor oil, through the bead-grain supercritical foaming process, to achieve lightweight and high resilience, more dense crystal structure makes it still strong after running long distances, durability is improved. At the same time, the use of bio-based has improved the environmental protection of the shoes and saved 10% in materials.
Silk creates a new experience of uppers
Li Ning Feidian 2.0 ELITE
The Flying Electric 2.0 ELITE, which has won runner recognition for its outstanding performance, puts innovation on the upper this season. The familiar "" jumped from the midsole to the upper of the shoe, and realized the "upper and lower pairs" configuration for the feet. The product team uses the same raw materials to prepare lightweight silk through advanced spinning technology, which is more flexible, elastic, durable than ordinary fibers, and comfortable to hold.
The silk shoe face is also greatly improved in terms of breathability than before, and some runners have given a comment after the experience that it is "as cool as mint gum", and its breathability can be seen.
The midsole foam has been fine-tuned, the foot feel is softer, and combined with the plantar pillow technology that allows every step to have a floor pedal, the threshold of the racing running shoes is lowered as a whole.
"No price increase"
Xtep 160X 3.0
In the past two years, Xtep has been strong in the marathon field, and the results in the big data of running shoes of runners across the country are also quite eye-catching. This year they launched the latest 160X 3.0 of the Fist product 160X series. Compared with the previous generation, the 160X 3.0 adds 2mm each of the power nest PB material of the front and rear palms, providing runners with more powerful propulsion. Under the midsole "feeding", the weight of the 160X 3.0 is 2 grams lighter than the previous generation, thanks to the newly tuned power nest PB midsole, which further reduces the density while improving performance, making "thick and light" possible. And the constant price is undoubtedly a blessing for runners.
The new rolling special-shaped carbon plate is another place where this shoe has changed, its bending rigidity is 48.1% higher than that of the second generation, and the lowest point of the special-shaped carbon plate is moved backwards, which makes the rolling feeling stronger by increasing the curvature of the carbon plate, and the alternation of the feet becomes more fluid.
Security is another major upgrade point for 160X 3.0. Double-layer power nest PB technology and the widening of the new rolling propeller carbon plate, the airfoil upper bag at the heel of the carbon plate, improves the stability of the shoe.
The national team is loaded with the same nitrogen technology
Anthamacher 2.0
In everyone's expectations for the new C202 GT model, ANTA Running first brought the Mach 2.0 suitable for racing training this season. Acceleration and stability when cornering and changing direction are the core properties that this shoe emphasizes. The national team's same ANTA nitrogen technology, the smooth transition of the GOZONE system, and the outsole triangle pattern design inspired by the field spike shoes, will realize everything this shoe wants.
The TPU stabilizer at the midsole and the outsole rubber with excellent grip improve stability and torsional resistance, allowing runners to focus on speeding up and overtaking. Not long ago, Gu Ailing wore a Mach 2.0 with a time of 1 hour 41 minutes and 39 seconds to complete a half horse, proving the good strength of this shoe.
Strength to lay the foundation jointly add color
Jordan Sports Flying Shadow PB 2.0
Since the previous generation of Feiying PB's share in the marathon field has soared, Feiying PB 2.0 has chosen to strengthen in performance and play "flower work" in appearance. Feiying PB 2.0 is equipped with The Matrix PRO rebound technology, optimized in details such as top material, neckline, and tongue, and also adjusted on the carbon plate system to enhance propulsion, stability and wrapping.
What is more eye-catching is that in addition to the first aurora green color, it launched two special editions at the same time - the "Neon Dress" model jointly launched with the Shaanxi History Museum, and the "True Fragrance" special model that is only sent and not sold.
"True Fragrance" special
The Shaanxi Bo joint model "Neon Dress" draws design inspiration from the neon feather dance of the Tang Dynasty court, and integrates the texture of the peacock-patterned silver square box and the "Tang" seal pattern with a very classical atmosphere, presenting traditional Chinese culture. The "True Fragrance" special model uses the upper of the shoe as a canvas to make an interesting graffiti drawing, with the bullet screen comments of netizens, making this shoe interesting.
Military fabrics are used for running shoes
Bimai Shock Carbon 2.0
Born in 2014, although the "qualifications" are not long in the industry, the running shoes produced by it, from 42K lite, thick road expedition, to thick-soled carbon plate running shoes, all highlight the high level of must-go products. As one of the first brands in China to create nylon 12 foam technology, Bimai has a place in the field of science and technology in the field of racing running shoes. Using the seesaw principle, the full palm solid carbon board is combined with the shoe body design to help runners perform better.
The stunning carbon 2.0 Mandarin Duck color matching, on the basis of maintaining the lightweight and high elasticity of midsole technology, has made a new attempt on the upper, which uses The Cordura fabric, which is widely used in military equipment, improves the toughness and tear resistance of the upper, and optimizes the weight and breathability synchronously. Compared with the outsole of the amazing carbon generation, the 2.0 optimization increases the seamless edge banding structure design, improves the strength of the outer side that is easy to wear, and effectively ensures the endurance of thousands of miles of high-speed running.
When we have browsed the performance of various brands in the field of racing running shoes this season, I believe that everyone will be amazed by the current hundred flowers, after a year of development, domestic running shoes have made great progress. Behind this surprise, we also see several clear trends.
On the one hand, many brands combine their own situation and boldly carry out challenging attempts, whether it is the pioneering sole partition design or the integration of environmental protection concepts, including the Li Ning heelless running shoes that have recently exposed photos, which let people see the spirit of courageous exploration of domestic brands. On the other hand, while further refining the midsole cushioning technology, domestic brands have opened a round of evolution on the upper, and the Cotura fabric in the military field of Bimai, Li Ning's silk upper, and even the state pole sare adaptive fabric that Peak is about to roll out, the attempt of domestic brands on the upper has been leading. In addition, the close communication between domestic brands and runners, as well as the ability to react quickly, make the upgrade of running shoes more suitable for Chinese runners.
In this wonderful running shoe innovation, how do runners feel, and what kind of experience will the product team that actually creates domestic racing running shoes have? In the next issue of the domestic racing running shoes special content, we will invite some KOLs and practitioners in this field to share, take you to understand some unknown stories of domestic racing running shoes, so stay tuned!
