AIR JORDAN IV RETRO Black and White Forest

The AIR JORDAN series is the most successful basketball shoe series. Every pair of shoes in this series has been loaded into history and become a classic. However, even great products are not perfect from the beginning, and the AIR JORDAN series is no exception. If the original AIR JORDAN series is the main surface, then from the AIR JORDAN IV, this series finally has a real soul.
In the late 1980s, due to the lack of design and manufacturing processes, the complex structure of air-cushion basketball shoes inevitably brought unnecessary weight, which affected the athletes' performance. These shortcomings were also seen in the first three generations of AIR JORDAN basketball shoes. However, although the external air cushion has been used since the AIR JORDAN III, the weight and comfort of the shoes have been sacrificed. This is not in line with JORDAN's basketball style, and the same products are increasingly unable to satisfy consumers. In this historical context, a brand new AIR JORDAN product has been introduced to the market.
The emergence of AIR JORDAN IV, for the first time, clarified that the AIR JORDAN series will interact with the FLIGHT series and learn from each other. At the same time, the concept of guard basketball shoes is also proposed for the first time. In the era when the FORCE basketball shoes dominated the market, the nascent FLIGHT series was weak, FLIGHT symbolized flight, and the FLIGHT series were all those who worked on the backboard. Those who had excellent bounces were called FLIGHT. They are often able to bring the most exciting performances, the most popular characters on the basketball court, and JORDAN is the representative of such players, so the AIR JORDAN IV launched in 1989 and the AIR FLIGHT 89 launched in the same year became the first to use. The two pairs of sneakers of the FLIGHT logo, the emergence of these two pairs of sneakers also heralded the birth of the FLIGHT series. Although AIR JORDAN IV is the only pair of AIR JORDAN basketball shoes that have appeared in FLIGHT, the design concept of FLIGHT series has been integrated into the design of AIR JORDAN series, which makes the AIR JORDAN series lighter. With the development of speed, this spirit of always flying upwards has been deeply integrated into the soul of the AIR JORDAN series. It can be said that AIR JORDAN IV is like a rebirth of the entire AIR JORDAN series, or a nirvana.
AIR JORDAN IV is inextricably linked to the AIR FLIGHT 89 launched in the same year. The same outsole and midsole design provide sufficient shock absorption and lateral support, although it seems slightly cumbersome now, but relative In the air cushion basketball shoes of the time, the midsole of this series has been sufficiently lightweight. The truly revolutionary design is the mesh material on the upper surface of AIR JORDAN IV. Before the advent of AIR JORDAN IV, basketball shoes have always appeared in front of people with a thick image, but in the past only appeared on the mesh surface of running shoes. The material first appeared on basketball shoes. This material not only greatly reduced the weight of the shoes, liberated the wearer's feet, but most importantly, made the air permeability of the basketball shoes change qualitatively, and the athletes no longer need to wear them. The impenetrable "boots" battled the stadium, and the flexibility of the mesh material also greatly improved the stretchability of AIR JORDAN IV, and significantly improved the auxiliary role of athletes in changing direction and starting. These are the great reforms of AIR JORDAN IV, or the AIR JORDAN IV brings reform to the entire basketball world. A small idea has promoted the development of the entire basketball shoe product.
In addition to its milestone revolutionary significance and outstanding performance, AIR JORDAN IV is also unique in its design. The huge shoe is the symbol of AIR JORDAN IV, and the reverse AIR JORDAN label on the shoe is the whole AIR JORDAN IV. The finishing touch, whether from ZOOM LEBRON II, AIR JORDAN 00 or JUMPMAN BIG FUND, we can find the classic outsole design, this design has become a logo, used in the most gorgeous basketball On the shoes.
AIR JORDAN IV has been re-enacted several times. At the end of 2004, the white-green and gray-yellow color combinations were not the first-year color matching. The sales volume is still gratifying. In 2006, Nike brought us two RETRO versions of all black and pure white. AIR JORDAN IV, all black AIR JORDAN IV RETRO shoes embroidered with the words "BLACK CAT", representing pure black, gorgeous and calm, while the pure white AIR JORDAN IV RETRO shoes are embroidered with the word "PURE", representing Innocent white, pure and quiet, this pair of twin AIR JORDAN IV RETRO is like a black and white movie, like to quietly bring that great era back to us.

NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION

The Cavaliers are the most talented players----Lebron James's first pair of basketball shoes with their own soul-----NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION. Can this pair of signature shoes be a beautiful mountain for NIKE in the sports industry?
 
We have already been stunned by NIKE's advertising campaign against AIR ZOOM GENERATION, which has made the HUMMER H2, which is not familiar to the Chinese, has become the sought after target of major newspapers. I really don't understand who is holding the red. NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION I don't know if I have listened to the god of the retro messenger, and I have become a believer in the retro school. In today's era of chasing new and seeking cool, it is very ancient. Opened the history of the picture, the NIKE signature shoes that caught our eye, all of them set the great achievements of the cutting-edge technology at that time, to the essence of art at that time. The AJ series is a good example.

The long-lasting herringbone pattern made a slight adjustment. The difference is that the lining of the outcrop herringbone of NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION has a relatively sleek waveform, while the traditional shoes are sharp and sharp. This change makes the traction better. The carbon fiber board on the sole is clearly visible.

Although armed with some materials and technologies that can be called high-tech, NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION should be on the top floor of the store's shelves in the early years, and its image and performance will be sold at least 150$. And not 110$. This figure is like an overseas visitor to NIKE's signature shoe.
 
A new design element in NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION is SPHERE boots. For those who know very little about SPHERE and the boots, let me explain. Sneakers with an inner boot structure build a layer of sock-like fabric in the inner lining. The composition of such a fabric layer is mostly a smooth and delicate elastic material such as Lycra. The inner boot avoids all cuts that may be caused by protruding internal seam cues and gives the foot a more dense but comfortable fit. As early as the 1990s, NIKE used this technology extensively in shoes. Therefore, the boots are not new technology (of course, it is the last century).
 
Compared to the boots, SPHERE sounds a bit fresher, but it still has no new technology. As early as a few years ago, NIKE had already applied this technology in the field of clothing. SPHERE is a fiber technology consisting of a rigorous structure and special materials. The clothing with this technology can create a "personal environment" that NIKE is proud of. The core of this technology lies in a layer of concave surface that is connected to each other lebron james shoes. For different needs, the concave surface can be rounded and made of fiber. This technique prevents the unhealthy condition of the garment sticking to the body due to excessive sweating. Because these concavities create a thin film of air that keeps the body and clothing at a reasonable temperature (dry in the hot summers, heat in the colder winters) and allows the air to flow. This air flow in combination with SPHERE's special structure can accelerate the evaporation of sweat, which is why SPHERE can keep people refreshed (liquid evaporative heat absorption, in the summer can absorb the heat in the air, in the form of water vapor with SPHERE The air flow is scattered).

The metal lace buckle is integrated with the NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION lace system. At the same time, the delicate lace holes are also crystal clear in daylight (the design is inspired by the wheels of the Hummer H2). The light blue color matches Cleveland's new uniform, which is perfect for seamless. The striking 11-5-2003 of the crotch not only engraved the first home game of the first master, but also the destiny of the red/white model, the price of the best collection.

Everything seems clear: from the boots to the SPHERE, none of them is a refreshing advance technology. "So what is new?" Careful in your heart has long been doubtful. Tell you that this "new" is reflected in the NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION is the first pair of basketball shoes equipped with SPHERE. When I saw the technical parameters of the shoes, I guess the boots of NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION would be uneven, but when I really put my hand in, I found that the boots were silky smooth. This makes me really lost. Structurally speaking, the SPHERE system requires an air film between the body and the fabric, but the inner boot should be close to the foot surface, which creates a contradiction, making the "personal environment" extremely difficult in NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION. That is to say, SPHERE will not be the name.
 
As a multinational company, NIKE never dares to deceive consumers at the expense of credibility. They revolutionized SPHERE in NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION to create a comfortable "personal environment". NIKE adds a layer of fabric between the inner boot and the outer surface. This layer of fabric stretches from the toe to the heel and the enamel – consisting of alternating circular patterns (see Figure 6 for details). These circular patterns play the role of the SPHERE concave surface. This layer of fabric allows air flow between the foot and the shoe body, temperature regulation and sweat discharge.
 
Although there is no scientific way (at least I didn't) to quantify the efficacy of SPHERE, I can say with certainty that in every 8 tests, NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION gave me an extraordinary comfort experience. The smooth and almost seamless line of inner fabric plays a great role. Although the NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION has a layer of fabric more than the traditional shoes, the sense of dryness is always with you, even after an exhausting whole game. I can't be sure if the accumulated heat is really good for winter play, but that comfort is definitely not a substitute.

NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION is followed by a bumper with a powerful wing. Whether it's stabilizing the shoes or protecting the owner's feet, it releases the greatest passion in life to accomplish these two missions, carefully caring for it, and it will repay you.

The only shortcoming of the SPHERE system in NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION is that the excessive weight reduction of the added fabric layer hinders certain ankle joint protection. From the perspective of the world, NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION's upper is a stand-up in the middle shoes, so the ankle should be wrapped. However, due to the lack of ankle fabric, the ankle joint protection of NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION did not reach my expectations. Don't worry, the other smart design in NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION makes up for this deficiency, so I can treat every evaluation with peace of mind. Before you talk about the components that condense the wisdom, please allow me to talk about the overall package feeling that is not satisfactory.
 
The neck of the NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION has a very fine metal lace buckle that is paired with a hidden lace system. The advantage of this construction is that it allows the shoelace to be more stable during exercise. Although the shoelace buckle is dazzling, it does not give me any wrapping. Although the design of the forefoot is very reasonable, it is difficult to slip, but after a fierce competition, I vaguely felt the foot sliding in the forefoot area. From the first half, everything is not a big deal. However, after the game, the performance of the parcel system did decline. The biggest drawback of this type of back and forth sliding is that it can cause the toes to collide with the toe. Although the results are not as horrible as I expected, I have a tired feeling of wearing LOW-TECH shoes.
 
I think there are two culprits that cause this kind of malpractice: the supple upper and the extremely smooth insole. Let's review the upper. Earlier I mentioned that SPHERE boots have contributed to the comfort, but at least the military medals also have half of the soft uppers. The limited-edition white/red models and the widely-circulated white/black models are constructed from full-grain leather and lightweight fibers. They work flawlessly with the SPHERE system, allowing shoes to breathe fresh air. However, they did not have a good unity with the lacing system, which led to the troubles caused by the emergency stop.
 
The new NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION will use 100% leather as the upper, which will change the embarrassment caused by the above situation.

Obvious. The adjustment of temperature and humidity is a revolutionary innovation of NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION. The SPHERE boot and upper design maximizes ventilation. The middle vent is a good example.

For the insole, in short, it is flat. Although there is a small ridge below the arch, it feels like skating.
It seems that this is really frustrating. The fans of Old School shoes seem to be able to find the feelings of old friends from NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION, but the performance of NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION is really shameful for the super-foot arch support that modern sports shoes can provide. The hat that wears the "foot arch to support the master" is eating a meal, and from time to time in the emergency stop to give you some trouble (the arch does not have any obstacles, sliding back and forth is easy).
 
Although the flatness of the insole is almost the original sin of NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION, the other components of NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION are still perfect to maintain the wearer's extraordinary feelings. Lightweight Phylon midsole, forefoot ZOOM AIR unit, hind palm AIR SOLE airbags three guardians protect the NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION - the paladin of these ancient myth boots - that is yourself. Since the ZOOM AIR unit and the midsole form an organic whole, it does not produce the strongest sound of the cushioning movement such as ULTRAPOSITE (equipped with the full-length ZOOM AIR unit). After a few times of wearing, NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION does provide the cushioning feeling explained in the advertisement, whether it is advanced ZOOM AIR or traditional AIR SOLE. I believe that the old black buckles in the advertisement will be safe after the Alley-oop.
 
Mention the increasingly important sense of place. NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION features a hard rubber outsole and a new herringbone pattern. Although the grip effect does not reach the top, it is obviously higher than many well-known shoes today. And you can feel it only from the outsole. NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION will not disappoint you, whether it is infield or outfield.

The side image of NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION always evokes many wonderful memories of AJ3 and 7, which is an indescribable feeling. Is it an unforgettable old shadow? Or is it like a god in shape? Anyway, nostalgia is a beauty. Among the designers of NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION is Tinker Hatfield ------ one who does not know whether AJ shoes have made him or he has made AJ shoes. Maybe he wants to instill God's temperament for James through NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION? When it comes to the design team, I can only find three people with three names: Aron Cooper, Eric Avar and Tinker Hatfield. During the Renaissance, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Rafael did not seem to have cooperated to create something, otherwise today's art may be another general picture. However, Da Vinci, Michelangelo and Rafael in the design of basketball shoes have jointly created the pioneering work of the NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION series. Maybe the future history book will be written like this: NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION, the beginning of the SNEAKER art revival.

Now I have to fulfill my previous promise: Tell you the reason why NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION's ankle protection can make me feel at ease. Speaking from the outsole. First of all, the outsole of NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION is not just a simple glue on a large piece of rubber, but then stuck on the shoes. Instead, it is an important element of precision integration into the shoe, just like the carbon in the human body. NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION's outsole and double-handedness, in addition to fulfilling the task of rubbing the ground with due diligence, is also a wonderful life on the stage of the performance of the whole shoe. The outsole's tolerance has reached the side of the shoe body, forming a wonderful relationship with the body of the shoe - armor. This move strengthens the stability of the NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION, making it difficult to damage the ankle in large movements. The middle of the outsole is slidably inwardly recessed, maximizing the shape of the foot, making our sliding and rotating movements more natural. The shape of the outsole is generally considered to be less critical, but only the outsole is the only component that comes into contact with the ground. Schumacher's Ferrari 2004 NB, give him four miscellaneous tires to try, to ensure that the accident continues, the outsole of the shoes is the same, a pair of shoes with poor outer design, even if the shoes are extraordinary, will eventually be eliminated by the market. Therefore, the precision of the outsole design of NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION has indeed sublimated its performance.
 
Another reason is the full length carbon fiber spring plate of NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION. This component used for the first time in AJ 11 has a variety of functions in NIKE AIR ZOOM GENERATION. As the name implies, it can store the elastic potential energy like a spring when the forefoot bends, and then release it from the moment of the ground (do not naively think that you will jump high, but it can really save you energy. ). As a tough structure below the body of the shoe, the carbon fiber board has the effect of transmitting impact, and most of the impact force generated by a large drop will be ambiguous in the entire cushioning system. Another function of the carbon fiber board is to prevent the bending deformation of the midsole, and the midsole is deformed.

LEBRON IV

James's new beetle
1. Technology is based on practicality, with innovation as the soul
   It can be said that James's latest shoes are standing on another peak of nike. Zoom LeBron 4 once again makes Foamposite technology an eye-catching technology.
To say this design, you must first mention an old shoe, Foamposite One, known as "blue spray" is also. As long as it is a hardcore basketball shoe fan, you will not know the classic class of this dream-class shoe. The trend caused by that year has not been left to the right. Regarding the story of "Blue Spray", we will introduce it later, here we will talk about the shoemaking materials and design inspiration. The name Foamposite One includes its material Foamposite (foaming material), its biggest feature is "integral molding", giving the wearer's feet a full range of three-dimensional support, and due to the toughness of the material itself, not only can Stabilizing the ankles will not limit their mobility and greatly improve the performance of the shoes. One means that it is the beginning of the application of this material, and in the book "nike 30year sole provider", Foamposite One is placed in an extremely important position, which further reveals that the design of this shoe is inspired by the beetle, that A kind of connected but independent package, perfectly meets the functional requirements of protection and flexibility.
At the heart of the scene, Zoom LeBron IV once again applied the "Beetle" design concept and Foamposite material, so why reuse this old technology that has not been seen for a long time? And how is this idea used?
If we look at some pictures of Lebron James shoes in the game in the past, because of his personal technical characteristics and playing style, many times the uppers of the shoes will be distorted. Of course, it must be said that it is normal for the sneaker to produce an instant distortion in the fierce confrontation. A good sneaker is to fix the foot in a safe position in time to effectively protect the wearer. However, the developers of nike found that this distortion of James may not be generally strong. Young and strong body, tough style, nike personnel have to do more comprehensive consideration for this new star. At first, they focused their attention on the ankles. James' second-generation boots had ankle straps, but it seems that the results are not effective and the problem still exists. Later, the support of the upper was strengthened. If it could not work for one point, then the effectiveness of the protection should be added to one side. Sure enough, the effect of the Zoom LeBron III is good, and the support strips of the upper play a certain role. Therefore, in order to further consolidate this function, designer Ken Link thought about it and finally decided to dig out the classic technology of Foamposite.
After optimizing the Foamposite materials in the past, Zoom LeBron IV uses a lighter, thinner and more flexible foam material. The design concept of "Beetle" was once again applied to the overall design, including the side of the shoe, the sole and the face of the face are all connected in a strip shape. The big change is that the original lace system has added a few elastic straps. This design can give James's feet a certain twisting space and can recover in time. After all, it is like a piece of iron plate to block the distortion, but it is not good for the foot.
The upper is the focus of the Zoom LeBron IV, and the sole is of course unambiguous. The combination of the full carbon board and the Free concept seems to be as soft and soft as the "Tai Chi". In addition, the insatiable insole also left a deep impression. The editorial department once took the insole and put it on and tried it. It felt like it could only be described as horror.

2. One step at a time
James's path to growth is not alone. Even if he didn't have a rookie season, he was selected as an All-Star. Even if the road to the playoffs was bumpy, James is still a lucky one and still a lot of fans' idols. Since entering the NBA League, the Little Emperor has been constantly creating history. In February, 2004, he became the youngest player in the history to break the 1000 mark. On March 27, the Nets scored 41 points. Became the youngest player in history to score 40 points or more in a single game; on April 20th, only 20 James became the youngest best rookie in history; at the 2004 Athens Olympics, he was the youngest in the history of the US team. On November 24th, the Little Emperor scored more than 500 points and rebounds, breaking the "Magic" Johnson record; three days later, his total score exceeded 2000 points, breaking Kobe's record. In 2005, on January 20th, the opener got 27 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, shortening Odom's youngest "three doubles" record by 34 days; on March 21, playing the Raptors alone 56 Points, became the youngest player in history to score 50 points or more; on November 13, became the youngest player in history to score 4,000 points; on January 21, 2006, the Cavaliers played Jazz and James scored 51. Points, becoming the youngest player in history with a total score of 5,000 points; on April 22, his first playoff game scored 32 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists, the first place after the "Magic" Take a "three doubles" player in a playoff game.
Every time I feel the results, I celebrate with all the fans. For more than three years, everyone who cares about James has witnessed his growth. This is also an important concept incorporated in the Nike Zoom LeBron IV. Are All Witnesses" - We are all witnesses to the history created by James. This year, the Little Emperor led the team to the playoffs for the first time, which is undoubtedly a significant time for him. Nike especially distributed to the fans at the home of the Cleveland Cavaliers during the playoffs. T-shirts, billboards or posters with the words Witness are printed, hoping to use such an attitude to inspire James to achieve even greater results. More importantly, however, these records have not stopped, the Little Emperor continues to create history, and inevitably, Zoom LeBron IV will also become one of the witnesses, so the words “WITNESS” are also imprinted on the shoes.

NIKE SHOX BB4

NIKE SHOX BB4 blew the horn of Nike's new era to the world, and it is likely to unveil the prelude to the end of the fate of other manufacturers. SHOX technology conveys the concept that it will become a standard accessory for countless modern sneakers. Do you feel it?
Needless to say, the NIKE SHOX BB4 is by far the most difficult basketball shoe we have ever encountered. When some websites such as NIKETALK leaked its clues and VINCE CARTER wore its rivers and lakes in the Olympics (in which Carter leapt over the top of the opponent and made a shocking dunk), we began to eagerly look forward to it. it. NIKE was very kind enough to launch a few midnight blue/gold Olympic special colors at NIKE before it was officially released (November 15, 2000), and we were fortunate to have a pair. Now, before moving to the official evaluation report, for those comrades who are still strange to SHOX, you can first look at the root cause of SHOX. For those comrades who are already familiar with SHOX, please feel free to skip to the next paragraph:-)
    This picture shows the SHOX cylinder of SHOX BB4 clearly. One of the appealing aspects of SHOX technology is its ability to be tuned to specific sports and even the needs of specific athletes. Its prospects are exciting. Attached to the SHOX cylinder is a TPU (thermoelectric urethane rubber) heel that provides support for the heel while the SHOX cylinder disperses the impact.
   SHOX technology is actually based on a very simple problem: a pair of shoes can not only achieve a good cushioning effect, but also absorb the energy of the palm impact and turn into the kinetic energy of the wearer like a spring, and can not affect To the protection of the shoes. What materials and techniques do you need to make such a pair of shoes? This is a question that the NIKE engineers have racked their brains to think about 16 years ago. But at the same time, Marion Frank Rudy----Nike's staff research----NIKE AIR technology filled with high-pressure gas into the "package" of high-density PU material, making NIKE in the past 16 In the year, attention was paid to the development of AIR technology and its diverse and complete technologies. However, the concept of "spring loading" has never died in the hearts of NIKE people. Finally, in 2000, we can taste the fruits of hard research - NIKE SHOX. The concept of "spring loading" has never changed, just replacing the real spring with a high-density PU foam column. It absorbs the energy of the impact and converts it into kinetic energy.
   Does this mean that the world can indulge excess energy with SHOX shoes? In fact, the process of transformation is not as perfect as people think. However, after several tests, we believe that SHOX does provide a good sense of wearing.

Seeing now, you might ask: If the SHOX BB4 is so perfect, why should it be included in the “blacklist” of the shoes that are extremely difficult to review? The reason is that no pair of shoes has made us so shaken in three assessments. In general, we will make a measurement report after two trials (three times in rare cases). Before testing NIKE SHOX BB4, we never ran around in the evaluation results. Under normal circumstances, the 10 to 15 minute game is enough for us to collect all the evaluation data, but we never thought that after a whole day of testing, a pair of shoes will undergo a dramatic change until the day when NIKE SHOX BB4 appears.
   After the first day of the test, I was ready to give a negative evaluation to SHOX BB4. I think the cushioning of SHOX BB4 is like air: it exists, but you absolutely can't feel it. After two or three hours of testing in the field and in the field, my feet suffered from biting pain. I can't wait to bury them in ice. Of course, NIKE SHOX BB4 is not nothing. The rest of the pair of shox running shoes has a very good performance. The body-to-foot wrap is excellent (no side slip), and it is comfortable and has good ankle joint protection. The BB4 is the most stable shoe I have ever worn. But unfortunately, everything was covered up by the pain of the foot, just as the dark black clouds covered the blazing sun. At that time, I swear: I will never wear SHOX BB4 anymore, never!

   I posted these resentful opinions on NIKETALK.COM, but I was told by those who are trustworthy that SHOX needs to wear the wearer at least two or three times to be adapted. I should thank those friends who gave me a chance to save themselves. I once again tightened the shoelace of SHOX BB4, deviating from my vows and fighting against my own swearing. There is still no feeling of energy conversion, but the important thing is that the pain has disappeared. At this time, I discovered that the SHOX BB4 has a very strong sense of shock, like the NIKE AIR BIG FLYER FORCE shoes with TUNED AIR technology. I started to appreciate all the positive aspects of SHOX BB4. The amazing stability makes me believe that the SHOX BB4 is the ultimate weapon for the ultimate defensive player. It demonstrates incredible flexibility for a variety of defensive moves (especially fast slides) that are embarrassing for your opponent. I think this is because the sturdy SHOX air column is placed at the outer edge of the outsole. According to the principle of the lever, the moment of the side impact force = the moment of the force at the connection of the air column, but the force arm at the joint is long, so the force is applied. It is small, so that the side slip does not drag the water. This ability is almost impossible to achieve in shoes equipped with AIR technology cheap air jordans for sale mens. Although the comfort that NIKE SHOX BB4 brings to me can be experienced during offense, I am more inclined to pay attention to the amazing role of SHOX BB4 in defense.
   Based on the second review, we decided to conduct another test before compiling the evaluation report. As we have imagined, the cushioning has improved. But that is not the feeling of attaching a spring to the foot, it is a comprehensive and comfortable cushioning feeling. This feeling is even better than the FLIGHTPOSITE KG with the top ZOOM AIR, just a little "hard".
  I hope that this cushioning will be more improved after wearing more. If the effect is significant, I will definitely write another report to promote the achievements of SHOX BB4.
  The situation that made us dilemma happened: If based on the first evaluation, SHOX BB4 will become a negative collection; but if we look at the third evaluation, SHOX BB4 will become a positive collection. As for why we should be convinced of the third evaluation result, because only after the third try, the potential power of SHOX BB4 will be fully emanating. I will try my best to convey my feelings to others: pain 1 time, and then use the 4 times a week to dilute the pain, so that you get a pair of almost perfect foot equipment, value! If you can find your good brother to help you endure this pain (but I guess no one will be fooled after reading this review), you will eventually be shocked by the excellence of SHOX BB4.
   In general, SHOX is a promising sports technology. As time goes by, it will be given new power by NIKE workers. The SHOX air column can be adjusted according to the wearer's weight and the participating movements. On this point alone, the sweetness of our SHOX shoes will show up. Of course, there is no absolute thing. Some opponents of SHOX technology believe that SHOCKS will repeat the mistakes of L.A GEAR's concept of ejection. But based on our wearing experience with SHOX, we believe that the future of SHOX will be bright. NIKE SHOX BB4 is a pair of comfortable, sturdy shoes that give the wearer a sense of belonging that has never been seen before, like the warmth of winter quilt to you (small tip: in order to feel this comfort, you must Tighten the laces and make sure your ankles have the pressure of the laces, otherwise your feet may slip in the shoes).
We sincerely hope that the next generation of SHOX basketball shoes can give the purchaser a little bit of flexibility in terms of adaptability.

NIKE AIR MAESTRO

Since the announcement of retirement on October 6 last year, there has been no news of "Batman" Scott Pippen for a long time. The Bulls are planning to hold a grand retirement ceremony for him and prepare to hang the 33rd jersey over the United Center to commemorate the "Bull Dynasty" veteran.
Whenever people mention the "bull dynasty", the first mention is necessarily the basketball god Michael Jordan; but never forget, is the omnipotent all-around warrior - Scott Pippen . If Jordan is a safflower, Pippen is the perfect green leaf.
Peripheral long-range shots, inside-line storms, ball-breaking counterattacks, and strong slam dunks... "Batman" beats opponents and seems to be easy to handle. Pippen's performance on the court is like the slogan designed by NIKE in 1997 for his AIR MAX UPTEMPO 3: omnipotent.


He has won countless glory and won the championship that others have dreamed of, but Pippen has not received the respect he deserves. Many people think that if there is no Jordan, Pippen may not get anything; Pippen can only be a "second child", he is not a handsome talent, can not lead the team to the top ... even signed Pippen NIKE, the attitude towards him is also very cold. A superstar who won four championship rings and was selected as the "NBA50 Superstar" actually got his first pair of signature shoes after entering the NBA for ten years. Not as good as a newcomer named Hardaway. And what is frustrating is that the AIR PIPPEN series did not achieve good sales results. The ambiguity of positioning and the omission of design have all been criticized for this star signature series.
However, "wild lily also has spring." What's more, we mentioned an outstanding star. Pippen's best personal performance was at the 1994 All-Star Game. Although the No. 33 jersey was taken away by Ewing of the same team (the All-Stars took uniform uniforms and could not have duplicate numbers), Pippen could only wear the unfamiliar No. 30 jersey. But the perfect performance of 29 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists allowed Pippen on the 30th to get his only MVP in his NBA career. Although the performance is undisputed, the words of David Robinson after the game made people pay more attention to "Batman": "We only pay attention to the red shoes under his feet, and did not concentrate on defending him. Lost the game and let him take the MVP."


Perhaps, "Admiral" is just a joke. But to a certain extent, this is indeed true. The flaming red AIR MAESTRO may be the most visible shoes in Pippen's career. Although there were countless players wearing AIR MAESTRO's other color schemes on the court, this is the first time the red color of this shoe appeared on the court. I couldn't think of such an unforgettable moment.
The configuration of AIR MAESTRO itself is not extraordinary, but the characteristics of the foot and the light weight are suitable for the "Batman" that Gao Laigao goes. And this appearance, but also its value doubled, the current first year AIR MAESTRO full red color price has been around 3,000 yuan, compared with Jordan's boots that year is not inferior, although its shape is far from The AIR JORDAN series is as compelling as it is. Even if it is so expensive, it is often "no price, no shoes", and countless SNEAKER has no chance to see its true face.

adidas Harden Vol.2

"Not everyone can dunk, but everyone can stop and change direction." As Harden said, Harden's nirvana lies in the control of speed. Harden's unique style of play and bold personality are unique in the league, which is Harden's most subversive force. The design of the new Harden Vol.2 is also inspired by Harden's unpredictable footwork on the court, especially Harden's signature European pace. To help Harden better control his unpredictable rhythm changes, as well as the rush to change direction, the designer combined Harden's complex playing style and his ability to take a step forward on the defensive, strengthening Harden Vol.2 for speed. Control.

Harden Vol.2 is the first to use the red Rocket color matching body, and the Harden logo on the tongue is still eye-catching. The new custom lace binding and FORGEFIBER unique TPU coated yarn design not only combines flexible movement and stable support, but also forge your own shoelace tie. The new sneakers continue the full Boost cushioning technology and are upgraded in thickness, providing unparalleled comfort while providing energy feedback throughout the entire field. The sole part features a new specific outsole that provides advanced grip and improved rapid start and stop efficiency.

Adidas' new Harden Vol.2 boots will be on sale at the official mall and major flagship stores and basketball stores on February 8th, 2018, priced at 1,399 yuan.

First of all, let's talk about the soles. The soles are a bit hard. The name of American Anta is not just called casually. It feels like wearing a general feeling. I don't feel too much cushioning technology. Although it will be better to step on, it is still very hard. The texture of the sole is very deep and dense, and the grip is also possible without slipping. The forefoot is quite thin.

The sock-style design of the UA shoes, the material of the upper will have some changes according to different color combinations. The upper part of the upper is made of woven page, and the feeling is not particularly advanced woven material, but the thicker the woven is more safe. Feel it! The wrap and support of the shoes are relatively general.

There is no tpu on the heel of the basketball shoe, and the material of the midsole of the heel is relatively high. These shoes are pure sock-style design. It is especially troublesome to wear shoes. If you are wide-leg or fat, it is best to buy carefully. Go to the physical store and try it out. Although the toe cap has been designed with several shoe holes, the effect can really be said to be no.

There aren't too many points to say about these shoes, or I will share them with you after a period of actual combat.

Nike LeBron 16

Braided upper upgrade evolution

Nike LeBron 16 continues the previous generation of design style, the application of large-area visible air cushion of coarse mine has already become a major symbol of James shoes. As a superstar of natural power, the configuration of the atmospheric cushion is really too Suitable for his style. I have said that each generation of James sneakers will use some Nike sneaker innovation technology, and the pair of Nike LeBron 16 also maintains the previous design style, while the details are more perfect optimization and innovation, this new sneakers The biggest "reform" comes from woven uppers. Friends who are familiar with Nike shoes must be impressed with their various shoe uppers, and weaving technology is the most popular among the shoe technology.

The Nike LeBron 16 uses Battleknit 2.0 technology to create the upper, an upgraded version of the fan-shaped weaving technology on the previous generation of sneakers. This weaving technique increases the tensile strength and has a stronger toughness, fully coping with the impact of the great strength of the upper when James moves laterally during the game. This enhances the strength of the upper, allowing the upper to be more fully protected. In the actual experience, wearing the Nike LeBron 16 series of laces, I feel the tightness of the upper is very tight, the feeling of the Battleknit 2.0 technology upper is very obvious, although it is the first time to try on this pair of shoes But there is no feeling of being too lame. The overall soft fit of the upper wraps around the foot for exceptional comfort.

Lowering the upper, flexible and agile

Another big change in the Nike LeBron 16 is the lowering of the height of the upper. This is also a requirement for James for these new sneakers. He hopes that the sneakers can lower the height of the upper and make it more flexible. Friends who are familiar with James sneakers must understand that his sneakers have always been based on traditional high-top design, because James's weight is relatively large, and the protection of the ankle can be said to be the most important. But nowadays, his technical and tactical style is more and more flexible, and the demand for the flexibility of the shoes is also increasing. For the design of the new sneakers, James said he hopes the upper can be lower, he needs faster speed and more energetic style. Compared with the previous generation of shoes, the Nike LeBron 16's upper is indeed reduced. The actual try-on feeling is that after putting on the pair of shoes, the position of the shoe is basically in the ankle position, and more of the ankle is exposed outside the shoes. It greatly enhances the flexibility of the sneakers. When doing some movements that change direction, the overall feeling will be more flexible and reduce a lot of restraints.

"The first thing we want is to make the shoes shorter. I want to be a little faster, and the feet are closer to the floor, so I will be more energetic."

--LeBron James

Slow rebound rebound dynamic demand

The midsole cushioning of the Nike LeBron 16 was upgraded to the previous Max Air to accommodate James' dynamic needs. For the previous generation of huge air cushions, James loved the cushioning system very much, and on the new Nike LeBron 16, the air cushion was perfected while maintaining the advantages of the previous generation. The new starting point eliminates the connection between the forefoot and the air cushion and is replaced by a bracket structure that reduces the weight of the shoe and provides additional support. The air cushion of the previous generation of sneakers is very thick. Some friends will feel that the center of gravity of the sneakers is somewhat high. After all, most people do not have the powerful ankle strength of James. The air cushion of the Nike LeBron 16 is more stable, reducing the situation of sneakers or valgus, making it more suitable for mass basketball fans.

Full rebound, freely retractable

The Nike LeBron 16's sneaker outsole is made of irregular patterns. This design can better bring the anti-slip effect of multi-directional traction. In the actual evaluation process, the anti-slip effect of the Nike LeBron 16 is still excellent. There was no obvious slippage. If you wear these shoes in the field, you should pay attention to keep the outsole as clean as possible and avoid sticking too much floating soil, so as to maintain a better anti-slip effect.
