A few days ago we told you about some of the technologies that Nike hides in their sneakers<\/a>, and showed you how the Air Max<\/a> Sole<\/strong> and the Lunarlon<\/strong> technology work. Today is adidas<\/strong><\/a>‘ turn to be analyzed, and we’ll try to explain how two of the technologies used by the german brand work: Torsion<\/strong> and Boost<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

TORSION<\/h2>\n

We’re back in the 80’s<\/strong>. At that time, there was an ongoing evolution in technology applied to footwear<\/strong>, and the competition between the big brands was high; for this reason, adidas decided to change for the better and create unique footwear designed especially for running<\/strong>, to try and beat their competitors.<\/p>\n

So in 1987 adidas introduced their Torsion technology<\/strong>, with which they intended to lead the market of running sneakers. But, how does the Torsion technology work?<\/p>\n

It consists of a bar, called Torsion Bar<\/strong>, located in the middle of the sole. It joins the back and the front of the sneaker contributing to the energy transmission<\/strong> from the back area to the front with each step, making it possible for these two areas of the sneaker to move independently, thus providing the adidas with flexibility<\/strong> and adaptability<\/strong> to all kinds of ground. This technology was added to models such as the adidas ZX<\/a> 5000 o las adidas ZX 9000.<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

BOOST<\/h2>\n

For over 25 years, EVA rubber<\/strong> has been (and still is) one of the main materials used in the manufacture of sneaker soles, but the constant innovation by adidas has lead to the creation of a new material<\/strong> that largely surpasses the performance of EVA rubber. Thousands of small thermoplastic, polyurethane balls<\/strong> constitute the material of the adidas Boost<\/strong><\/a> technology.<\/p>\n

This material was created taking into account the energy conservation law<\/strong>, because each capsule in this material accumulates energy when the foot is leaning on the ground, and free it the moment it is lifted, helping the performance<\/strong> of the steps. In the video below you can see the difference in cushioning between the Boost technology and the EVA rubber.<\/p>\n

At foot District<\/strong><\/a> we are dying to see if adidas will apply the Boost technology in any re-issues, like Nike did with, for example, the Nike Air Max 90<\/a> Lunar<\/strong> or the Nike Huarache<\/a> Free<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
