The stunning appearance on several fashion weeks has made Li Ning a brand that has been re-recognized. This is a good thing for a sports brand, not only into the fashion group, but also the brand connotation. However, for a sports brand, only one fashion label is far from enough. If there is no technology to make a base, it is easy for sports brands to become fashionable.
A lot of times, the technology of sports shoes, often the material technology, and the processing technology of materials, such as Adi’s Boost midsole, or Nike’s recent React and Joyride cushioning technology, are all on the material. Innovations to achieve lighter weight, better cushioning and rebound to provide a better foot feel.
Back to Li Ningxin’s running shoes, it is naturally the same idea: what materials can be breathable and comfortable for the upper, what materials can be used for lightweight soft bullets in the midsole, how to make the outsole wear and wear, as a competition Speed running shoes, need to consider how to help runners get feedback help, as well as stable and tough support.
The answer given by Li Ning is the “Beng (four sounds) rapid system” supported by the three major technologies.
At the beginning of the year, Li Ning released a new material technology called 䨻 Technology. This new technology based on E-Pebax material was first launched on the basketball shoes of Li Ning Wade.
This time, the primary technology used in the “Li Ning䨻 Rapid System” is this “Li Ning䨻” light-elastic technology. Compared to traditional EVA materials, this new material has a density of 0.11-0.14g/cm3, which is 52% lighter than conventional EVA materials, energy feedback up to 80%, and energy consumption reduced by 27%. At the same time, there is also very good anti-fatigue, long-term stepping does not collapse, long-term drying does not change yellow.
“Li Ning䨻” Lightweight technology greatly reduces the weight of running shoes and provides excellent rebound. Next is the in-line full palm heterogeneous carbon plate to combine with the former to provide linkage for running. The force feedback mechanism ensures that the runner gets sustained boosting force during the long-distance running.
This carbon plate is made of carbon fiber material. In the automotive field, lightweight and high-strength carbon fiber is often used in sports cars. On running shoes, it can be used to prevent excessive deformation and twisting of running shoes and soles.
The last is the outsole under the midsole. On the flying electric running shoes, Li Ning used GCU all-weather anti-slip wear technology. This new material has a thickness of only 1.5mm on running shoes, but the wear resistance is 5 times the traditional rubber sole, the wet skid performance is 50% higher.
It can be seen that these three kinds of materials used in the low-end running shoes are not found together on the flying electric running shoes, and they can perform their duties and control the weight respectively.Proof rebound and stability, but also take care of wear and slip.
On the upper material, the flying electric running shoes use MONO yarn material, which is also a lightweight and breathable material.
In fact, the development of a running shoe is not a simple material stacking. As a product with a flagship price, the development of the company has undergone 13 versions of the change, testing a variety of uppers, midsole The shape and mix of the carbon plate and the outsole, and a number of professional marathon runners participated in the test.
In addition to flying electric running shoes, Li Ning also released a more affordable Pegasus running shoes, the main difference is that the upper material is different, and there is no full palm carbon board, replaced by the Spring Drive hard Pebax supporting skeleton.
The weight of the flying electric running shoes weighs 177 grams (US9 yards, Eurocode 43), and Tianma weighs 152 grams (US9 yards), which are very lightweight.
As a product that embodies Li Ning’s cutting-edge crafts in the field of racing shoes, the prices of these two running shoes are also quite high-end. The price of flying power is 2099 yuan, and the price of Tianma is 1299 yuan. The price of these two running shoes can be said to be positive hard Nike, after all, Nike’s flagship running shoes ZoomX VAPORFLY NEXT% is also just 2099 yuan.
There is a problem. If you are a marathon running shoe, based on the 2000 yuan budget, it is a safe Nike.ZoomX VAPORFLY NEXT%, or the new army Li Ning Feidian?
