Nike air exploration:
AIR MAX- 1994 is introduced. It uses high pressure to inject Nike air into the tough synthetic rubber layer, which is thicker than ZOOM AIR. It creates an air cushion with various intervals and pressures. No matter how hard your foot is hit, the center of gravity of your foot will fall to the low pressure area (5 psi); When the foot needs the strongest stability, the center of gravity will fall in the high pressure area (25PSI) of the air cushion. In different sports, AIR MAX can provide the most suitable impact protection.
Zoom air-ultra-thin, flat shape design, which quickly disperses the pressure when it is impacted, and fills NIKE AIR into the airbag with elastic three-dimensional fabric. It is a cushion air cushion developed for speed players. This technology is to turn a large-volume cushioning into a landing cushioning, and the result is to make the feet closer to the ground and strengthen stability. Smooth modeling reduces the weight of shoes, and the performance explodes.
TOTAL AIR- 1998 introduced the Big Mac air cushion, which is 1.5cm longer than the previous air cushion.
TUNED AIR- comprehensive cushioning air cushion, including hemispherical cushioning system, can provide maximum stress protection, stability and comfortable foot feeling, and the deformation of hemisphere can provide variable air pressure. TN AIR contains PBAX thermoplastic material, which has the characteristics of fast recovery, wear resistance, light weight, flexibility and appropriate thickness. The pressure in its hemisphere is 20PSI, and the pressure in its air cushion is 5PSI.
Flexible air-air cushion has a curved groove interface, which can provide flexibility.
Nike sports shoes' leading position in function has long been affirmed in consumers' minds, and its excellent functionality has provided protection for various sports and made people unexpectedly diversified in appearance, thus winning the title of the first sports brand.
Air cushion is an important technology in the world that Nike is proud of. Use different air cushions according to the needs and functions of shoes. For example, golf shoes and inline skates don't need shock absorption function, but use 【 ZOOM AIR 】 which is more directly on the ground and has a thin sole to reduce the sense of distortion caused by the shoes being too high from the ground.
Sandals, due to the discomfort caused by young people jumping or walking on the gravel road, adopt [AIR MAX] with strong earthquake resistance and thick thickness. On the basis of the original [AIR MAX], the [tuned air] composed of several semi-circular spheres can cushion the impact from the ground and provide appropriate stability, making the air cushion more elastic like a spring and providing the best shock absorption protection. In addition, due to the function of the semi-circular sphere, the rebound of the air cushion can be more stable, and even if the foot inclines to the left or right when landing, the foot will return to the normal position upwards, making the movement of the foot more stable.
