阿迪达斯推出Springblade跑鞋
近日，Adidas官方发布全新的SpringBlade跑鞋，不同于采用EVA中底的传统跑鞋，SpringBlade 的鞋底有16个倾斜的叶片，叶片由高科技聚合物制造，具有很高的弹性与韧性。Adidas称他们对Springblade这项新科技花费了六年，而Springblade也是目前业内可以提供最高力反馈的鞋底。Adidas SpringBlade 将于8月1日在美国上市，售价180美金。

Recently, adidas introduces Springblade, the first running shoe with individually tuned blades engineered to help propel runners forward with one of the most effective energy returns in the industry.
Unlike standard EVA midsoles that deliver energy return in a vertical direction, Springblade features 16 forward angled blades made out of a high-tech polymer. The highly elastic blades instantaneously react to any environment, compressing and releasing energy to create an efficient push-off that feels like you have springs under your feet.
“Springblade’s progressive look and blade technology are radically different than any running shoe ever created,” said James Carnes, global creative director of performance at adidas. “At the same time, adidas’ goal is to create a beautiful performance shoe designed to be simple and intuitive.”Carnes continued, “Every aspect of Springblade is engineered to reflect extensive athlete insights to help make them better. For design inspiration, we drew upon everyday objects that deliver explosive energy return – everything from springboards to pole vaults and motorcycle suspensions.”
Each blade is precisely tuned in geometry, thickness and position for each phase of a runner’s stride to provide support and a full range of movement. Additionally, Springblade’s flexible construction was designed to hug the top of a runner’s foot, locking it in to harness the energy returned from the springs on the outsole.
“adidas is continuing to develop new innovations based on what athletes not only need but demand,” said Mikal Peveto, director of running at adidas America. “We know we have something special with BOOST cushioning introduced earlier this year and we’re confident Springblade will set us apart from the competition once again.”
Peveto continued, “Six years in the making, Springblade provides one of the highest energy returns in the industry.”aIT (adidas Innovation Team) tested hundreds of materials to ensure each spring produced maximum energy efficiency with every step and conducted rigorous ballistics tests to maintain long-lasting durability. For top performance in all environments, Springblade is seven times more temperature resistant than shoes with adidas’ standard EVA cushioning.
Springblade is available for $180 on August 1 at adidas.com and retailers nationwide including Finish Line, Foot Locker, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Eastbay and select running specialty stores.
