Puma is not the most mainstream sneaker brand, but I believe that there are many people who pay attention to it, this article Uncle Xiong through the introduction of Puma's hybrid rocket running shoes, for everyone to initially introduce the latest technology of Puma running shoes, while comparing Adidas ultraboost technology, briefly talk about puma and Adidas these two pairs of rivals some of the competitive history.
Not long ago, Puma launched a new puma hybrid rocket running shoe. The "hybrid" in the name refers to the midsole of the running shoe mixed with materials of different technologies.
It's a high-performance running shoe, but its modern design means it can perfectly juggle training and living. The midsole material is also the result of a hybrid solution that combines two innovative technologies: Puma's ignite foam (ignition foam) and nrgy (suspension particles).
The puma hybrid rocke's heel and sole under the forefoot remind you of Adidas's ultraboost. Adidas' most popular sneakers are also shoes that balance running and life. In this article, we'll get you closer to puma hybrid rocke by comparing Puma to Adidas's ultraboost and gain insight into the long history of competition between Adidas and Puma.
Puma has been committed to the brand's biggest operational technology innovation for many years. The aim is to combine soft cushioning with good force feedback. The new puma hybrid rocket is proof of success.
This shoe combines two of Puma's most innovative technologies: ignite and nrgy beads. The design principle of the shoe is: ignite foam can help you put pressure on the shoe while running. The foam absorbs this force and sends it directly back to the feet. Nrgy beads are gently buffered at each step. During the sprint phase, the bounce effect provided by the ignite foam will give you a strong explosive force to move forward.
The puma hybrid rocket shoe features puma's proud ignite ultra-elastic midsole technology in combination with nrgy suspension particles on the forefoot and heel to provide superior energy feedback and shock comfort for the feet, and the midfoot is complemented by an eva stabilizer block structure to resist the risk of flipping. At the same time, the evoknit sock sleeve knitted upper and heel reinforced tpu stabilizer design, coupled with the symmetrical midfoot reinforced lace-up system, give the foot better wrapping and stability.
The puma hybrid rocket is a soft cushioned but vibrant, sporty running shoe that's perfect for long-distance running. The perfectly matched puma netfit upper fits perfectly with a variety of foot types, providing a sock-like fit. This upper is also very light, soft and beautiful.
When it comes to sneakers that can take into account life and training, the first example that comes to mind is Adidas's ultraboost, a high-performance running shoe that has entered our daily lives. It is safe to say that it almost has the performance of professional running shoes, and it is also a pair of shoes that are very comfortable and handsome for daily pressing the road. Uncle Xiong's daily life now is to often wear boost, and he can't stop. It is for this reason, and because of similar designs, that we have found similarities between the Adidas ultraboost and puma hybrid rockets.
You can see the similarities between the two soles, but there are also differences. Puma nrgy pearls are very similar to Adidas boost. Both materials look a bit like polystyrene balls. Adidas has consistently claimed that NRGY copied Adidas boss and even sued Puma. But the complaint was dismissed, which is why Puma continues to produce soles and shoes. This alone is enough to prove that the competition between the two companies has a long history. We'll explain this in more detail later.
A very clear difference between the Adidas ultraboost and the Puma hybrid rocket is the distribution of the outsole. Adidas' ultraboost has only one cushioned sole that spans the entire length of the shoe. However, PUMA's NRGY technology is accompanied by a second sole material. The puma sole also has two deep grooves, divided into three sections.
This groove is not uncommon in running shoes as it helps to make the shoe more flexible. The hybrid sole solution we saw on Puma's hybrid rocket has a completely different unique selling point than Adidas ultraboost.
Another difference between the two shoes is the lace system, which can be seen at a glance. For ultraboost, Adidas relies on the classic lace-up system, while the Puma Hybrid rocket has deeper straps, so you can perfectly adjust the shoe to fit your midfoot. This lace-up is also the latest modern design.
Still, what the two shoes have in common is the comfort they offer. Both cars make you feel like you're walking in the clouds. Very soft, comfortable, the upper is also very close to the foot, it feels like wearing socks on the feeling of collapsing on your own bed. Uncle Xiong feels that the general direction of the development of shoes in the future is to be fashionable and beautiful while taking into account the comfortable foot feeling of running shoes, because this kind of shoes really feel liberated after wearing, and they don't want to wear other shoes after wearing.
In 1924, the brothers Rudolf Dashler and Adolf Dashler founded the Gebrudell Dassler Shoe Factory. Together, they design, manufacture and sell sneakers in Herzogen Aolach, Bavaria. They also equip athletes who participate in major competitions with sneakers. At the 1936 Berlin Olympics, most German athletes wore Dassler's shoes. Even Jesse Owens won four gold medals in dassler running shoes.
Rudolf Dashler was then conscripted into the army during World War II. When he was sent to Poland, his brother Adolf remained in his hometown factory. Around this time, the relationship between the siblings began to deteriorate. In 1945, while the Russian army was advancing steadily, Rudolf dassler abandoned his army and fled to Herzogenorach. Shortly before arriving at his destination, he was captured by American soldiers. This aroused rudolf's suspicion that his brother or sister-in-law had betrayed him.
Based on this assumption, Rudolf, in retaliation for Adolf, reported him to the "Enazificzissussos", which was founded after the fall of Hitler to liberate the German and Austrian states from the influence of national socialism. This amounts to accusing Adolf of Nazism and separating the two brothers and their families forever.
In 1948, Rudolf dassler left the joint venture and created his own sneaker factory just a few hundred meters from the original factory. He named his company after his previous nickname ,"puma". Adolf, often referred to as "Adi", named his company Adidas, which is an abbreviation for "adi dassler".
The split did not end the rivalry between the brothers, but made it even more intense. Their competition spread to their families, the whole town of Herzogenaurach, and of course the company and their products. One of the biggest controversies is who invented the shoe with the screws that gave the German national team an unexpected victory at the 1954 World Cup. In fact, these shoes have been around in Britain since the early 20th century, so neither Adidas nor Puma can credit their inventions to themselves.
The rivalry between the brothers continued until their deaths. It was not until 2009, 60 years after Adidas and Puma parted ways, that the relationship between Adidas and Puma slowly eased. But who knows later, this pair of brothers with narrow roads and because of the boost technology against the court, Adidas sued Puma's nrgy technology to copy Adidas's boss, but then everyone knows, Uncle Xiong did not do too much introduction, Adidas lost the lawsuit, Puma can continue to use nrgy suspension particles on its own shoes, this particle is actually very similar to boost, but Puma and Adidas's company volume is not a level, and now the mainstream is Adidas's boost, Puma is also comfortable to wear, and much cheaper, Puma is not satisfied with just relying on nrgy to hit the market, the new hybrid material shoes look good, hoping to bring them greater market competitiveness.
Back to the end, Uncle Xiong believes that puma hybrid rocket performance is slightly better than ultraboost, but Adidas shoes are more durable, but all in all, two technologies, two shoe types, the shoes made are excellent shoes, as for which to buy, it is up to you.
