ASICS LITE-SHOW

In the fall, it is the most suitable time for night running. When we run at night, we choose to run shoes to consider their professionalism. Adopting more nighttime reflective detail design naturally becomes the primary consideration. Today, the evaluation room will review the latest ASICS. LITE-SHOW night running series running shoes.

Although the weights of the two running shoes are almost the same, they are different in positioning. The ASICS Gel Nimbus 20 Lite-Show is a top-level cushioning series for runners who are more weight-conscious and more important in cushioning, while ASICS GT 2000 6 Lite-Show is aimed at middle-weight runners. It can also be used in addition to daily training. It should be reminded that GT2000 6 Lite-Show is most suitable for runners with certain stability and over-rotation. Used.

Upper

The biggest difference in the Lite-Show series launched by ASICS is the reflective detail design of the upper. It can effectively improve the visibility of nighttime activities. When the two shoes are put together, it is obvious that the reflective parts of the two are designed. On the difference, the reflective design of the Nimbus 20 Lite-Show is more divergent, full of almost all uppers, and can achieve 360-degree reflection.

The reflective parts of the GT 2000 6 Lite-Show are more concentrated, such as the front tongue and the shoes that extend to the sides, while the reflective material is not provided on the foot surface, except for the reflective design, Nimbus 20 Lite-Show The upper weave is slightly different, achieving a combination of large mesh and tight weave, with different densities in different parts. Of course, there are also common points. The uppers of the two shoes have no special reinforcing support material and are very soft.

Midsole

The most important technology for running shoes is mostly from the midsole. The unique skills of each brand are also concentrated here. As one of the four running shoes, ASICS, the strengths familiar to the running friends are derived from the midsole technology, Nimubs 20 Lite- Show's midsole technology is in fact no different from the normal version. The technology that bears the brunt of nature is the core GEL shock absorption technology. It is equipped in the forefoot and heel positions. The GEL distribution of the forefoot is more even. The midsole is divided into three. Layer material structure, the upper layer is SPEVAFOAM, the middle layer of GEL glue, and the lower layer of FLYTEFOAM, FLYTEFOAM built-in organic fiber, light weight and rebound for better durability, plus the top layer of SPEVAFOAM, the superposition of various materials is superior Cushioning. A major improvement to the Nimubs 20 Lite-Show is the redesign of the forefoot area, which has more toe activity space to further improve the package and fit. In the midsole design, ASICS also cites its well-established GUIDANCE LINE, which keeps the pressure center point running along the most suitable trajectory. The stability is added to the TRUSSTIC stabilizer for reinforcement construction and enhanced safety.

The midsole of the GT2000 6 Lite-Show is much simpler. The GEL in the forefoot part is built-in. If you simply consider the buffering effect, the Nimubs 20 Lite-Show is better, but in terms of stability, the GT2000 6 Lite-Show considers more, in addition to the stronger TRUSSTIC stabilizer, it also adds DuoMAX dynamic dual-density stabilizer on the inside, which is the most obvious difference between the two shoes. After the two shoes are on the foot experience, Xiao Bian feels that the buffering effect of the two is actually similar. They are both soft and not protruding and not unassuming. The two running shoes are not as big as before. The technology used is similar, and the weight is too close, but the foot stability of the GT2000 6 Lite-Show is still commendable, and the effect is achieved while the foot feel is not stiff.

Outsole

Wear resistance has always been one of the characteristics of ASICS running shoes. The two running shoes are also equipped with AHAR+ wear-resistant rubber. The thickness of the wear layer in the same position is almost the same.

to sum up

ASICS Gel Nimubs 20 Lite-Show inherits the advantages of this series, further improving the package, and the midsole adjustment is more suitable for daily training. It is especially suitable for runners with large weight and normal gait, while ASICS GT 2000 6 Lite-Show is a classic mid-level professional stable running shoe. It is more suitable for runners with higher training intensity or over-rotation and medium weight. Both are suitable for night running environment.

New Balance 1400v6

When I got the new 1400v6, I was a bit surprised by the color matching. First of all, the shoe type, the new 1400v6 has a streamlined appearance of racing shoes, and this New York color is also a "low-key" a lot. The male version of the shoes we got this time is mainly black, embellished with the color of the sunset in New York. Every design of the midsole is like the extension of the runway, and the "NYC" design that runs through the whole body makes it The identity symbol is evident.

As a pair of professional running shoes for racing, the technical performance can not be ignored. The seamless high-adhesive three-layer mesh Fantomfit technology is a first-class standard in terms of comfort and breathability. Of course, the midsole position is also a stable ReVlite midsole cushioning technology, which provides sufficient cushioning and resilience for the runners while ensuring lightweight. In the previous generation evaluation, the author has already mentioned, and this time the 1400v6 also uses a triangular particle outsole design similar to the style of outdoor running shoes, which is really powerful for grip.

Light and column technology, presumably can not satisfy everyone's curiosity, the narrative experience can be more real. The first feeling of putting on the 1400v6 is that the new and improved fixed tongue design is very comfortable and the fit is very strong. Although I wear a very thin boat socks during the evaluation, there is no foreign body sensation in the shoe last. There is no friction in the ankle position during running, which is crucial for a pair of marathon running shoes. Of course, the stability of the entire midsole is also commendable. In the initial run, the 1400v6 feedback to the runner who is not too big is the overall hard feeling, then is there any improvement in the subsequent stage?

This hard feeling lasted for less than 1Km, and it was followed by a complete release. Rather than "release", it is better to use "adaptation" to describe it more levelly. We all know that the midsole of a shoe that can really be a horse must not be too soft. This kind of "hard" is a kind of protection for the arch, ankle or knee. The 1400v6 midsole ReVlite cushioning technology will make the feet feel the wonderful "hard and soft" feeling after a certain adaptation time. This is really not available in other running shoes, and it is lightweight. The shoe body makes the runner feel that it is not dragged, it is really a good track.

adidas SolarBOOST

2018 is already the ninth year of adidas sponsoring the Beijing Marathon, and more and more runners are participating in it, making the event even bigger. And the professional mid-long distance running shoes adidas SolarBOOST also re-started this time, with the strongest performance to help runners equipment. As a member of the BOOST family, SolarBOOST's performance is no less than any pair of running shoes in the series, so this time we deliberately got it to conduct a "business evaluation" to see if it can do such a great mission. For the North Horse to work hard, we are leaving now!

Energy promotion guarantee

In fact, the first time I saw this pair of adidas SolarBOOST is the color matching of the black upper. In recent years, every pair of black shoes with black color has to be named "Black Warrior", and this pair is the linear heat of the toe. The post or the heel that resembles a sharp sword looks very fit to the "samurai spirit." However, the evaluation shoes I got this time are the first color matching for the North Horse. Although the body is still covered with black, the entire midsole position uses a transition from orange to water green from front to back. The refreshing and dynamic visual experience, and the slightly smaller "three-bar" logo on the side of the shoe is also very good grade, then its performance will be as satisfactory as the shape? Although SolarBOOST does not use the currently popular full-sock design, its tongue position uses a 3/4 half-sleeve design, so SolarBOOST should be a pass for the package. However, seeing is still illusory, only the real foot can draw conclusions. After tightening the laces, the biggest feeling for the author is actually not the forefoot position, but the heel. During the warm-up phase, each step feels that the heel position is firmly locked in the last, which is mainly due to a series of factors such as the TPU surrounding the heel and the tailored shoe pillow design. The upper created by the combination of elasticity and fabric material also provides comfort for the running feet.

In the actual running, the original feeling given to the author is that the midsole of SolarBOOST is not as soft as other products in the previous series, but this is a gratifying thing for real runners. As a long-distance running shoe, cushioning is often not as important as support, so the Torsion System anti-twist system covering almost half of the full palm is absolutely essential for the runner. It is precisely because of the large-scale intervention of the anti-twist system that the bottom of the foot feels not too soft, but the elastic full of it is definitely a weapon for long-distance running, the decline is also coming later than the average BOOST running shoes .

For running, the most satisfying aspect of SolarBOOST is stability. Because the evaluation was selected in an outdoor park, the road conditions were somewhat unstable. However, because of the synergy between the heel and the mid-foot anti-twist system, the author is comfortable with both the steps and the stone pavement, and will not be cold and sweaty because of instability. Of course, although the horse's outsole is slippery in the face of water-stained marble floors, its wear resistance is indeed more resistant than ordinary rubber. After the evaluation of the entire 10Km, there are not many changes in the easy wear position of the forefoot and heel, and the durability is also quite qualified.

The bright color and the perfect performance are the final conclusions for SolarBOOST. Perhaps the overall sleek fluency is slightly less than the adidas's Ul t raBoost, but for professional runners, the perfect foot is the king. The shoe is officially sold at 1299RMB, which is very suitable for long-distance runners' competition and training. The 10mm drop between the front and rear palms is also suitable for most runners. Another year, the North Horse fired a gun, I hope that you can become the most eye-catching one in countless participating teams.

SAUCONY Freedom ISO 2

Enhance both internal and external repairs

First of all, the appearance of SAUCONY Freedom ISO 2 is similar to that of the previous generation, but it is equipped with the first appearance of ISOKNIT ergonomic upper technology. Today, SAUCONY's professional ergonomic woven mesh upper with ISOFIT dynamic fit technology makes the upper and the foot more dynamic fit, greatly improving the running experience. In the midsole, the author also saw the thickening of the EVERUN cushioning material, although it has not yet been on the foot, but can already feel the feeling of this dripping. As for the improvement of the whole new generation, it seems that there are some “big hidden in the market”, then can we realize the mystery?

The warm-up stage after the foot, Freedom ISO 2 gives the biggest feeling of the feet is the comfort of the full-arm EVERUN cushioning material. Compared with the similar midsole cushioning technology, it seems to be more obvious in the movement, it will not be obvious. Soft over-the-top, this is definitely a boon for real runners. Of course, after tightening the laces, the advantages of ISOKNIT are reflected at once. In the previous generation, although the midsole has excellent comfort performance, it seems that there is always a feeling that the upper is not enough. However, in Freedom ISO 2, the feeling of void seems to have disappeared completely. There is really a kind of putting socks on. The illusion of the foot, this dynamic fit technology undoubtedly at the beginning of the author let the author realize the realm of the integration of human shoes.

Heavy weight without losing weight

In this evaluation, we chose to carry out on the plastic track of 10 Km. The Freedom ISO 2 in the early warm-up stage can really be described as stunning, but when faced with the real challenges, can it be as always? The answer is yes. Compared with the traditional EVA material, EVERUN cushioning material exceeds nearly 3 times of cushioning performance, and maintains 83% energy feedback, which can be described as the upper foot is the same, you can experience the feedback brought by step by step. The cushioning performance, and in the entire test phase, there is no heavy feeling caused by the midsole being stepped on, and each step is light and always. Of course, the ISOKNIT upper is also well-supported and protected while ensuring breathability. After running, I looked through the outsole and found that there was almost no sign of wear on the TRI-FLEX crystal outsole. The design of this value and persistence also made the author very happy. Like the previous generation, the Freedom ISO 2 has a 4mm difference between the front and the back, making it suitable for most runners. In the days when running shoes are endless, Freedom ISO 2 can be said to be adhering to the old-fashioned principle while innovating its new technology, which is very gratifying for SAUCONY's loyal fans. Whether you have tried SAUCONY's professional running shoes, this new Freedom ISO2 is worth trying, and you may be fascinated at once.

Nike KD11 basketball shoes

There is such a player in the NBA league. He has the height and wingspan of the top inside players, and has the dexterous skill and shooting ability of the outside players. This comprehensive style allows him to be qualified for all positions on the court. It is Kevin Durant. If you appear on the court as Durant's opponent, you can definitely understand the word "desperate". His movement rate and flexibility don't lose to any top outside player, plus the amazing wingspan and height, everything in the game seems to be in Durant's grasp. In the just-concluded NBA season of the 2017-18 season, Durant once again led the Golden State Warriors to win the championship and achieved the title. With Durant playing for the stadium for many years, there is his exclusive sneaker series. Now the new sneakers have come to the 11th generation, which is a very mature sneaker line. Friends who are familiar with Durant will find that Durant's sneakers sometimes fall off during the game. This is because he doesn't tie the shoes too tightly during the game. He likes the relatively loose wearing of the shoes. In view of this, the designer has made a new design improvement in KD11, which can better meet Durant's pursuit of sneaker comfort. In this sneaker evaluation section, let's take a look at what the new Nike KD11 will bring.

Durant told the designer a long time ago that life should be carefree. They discussed how to incorporate this concept into the design of shoes. When you don't have to think about something else, just focus on basketball, you will feel natural and comfortable. Durant likes the idea of ​​the designer, and they work together to achieve the ideal state of comfort and performance of the KD11.

Perfect integration

The first time I saw this pair of KD11, I might think that the overall design of the sneaker looks very ordinary, but if you look closely at the pair of boots, you will find that it is actually a “hidden mystery”. For example, the inside of the sneaker has a faint Nike. The traces of Swoosh look very chic. The sneakers are designed in the middle of the sneakers, which can ensure the stability of the sneakers and bring a good flexibility to meet the style of Durant on the court. In the actual evaluation, the height of the upper is just right wrapped around the ankle. In the area, the upper is tightly attached to the foot after tightening the laces. The KD11's upper is made of the classic Flyknit technology, which has been on the Durant sneakers for the third time in a row. This time, the Flyknit upper uses more plush, compared to the past. It is more soft and fit, which is also very satisfactory for Durant's demand for sneaker comfort. KD11's overall wearing feel is moderately tight, but it has a good package, and there are some feelings of running shoes. The design of this basketball shoe may become a major trend in future design. Designer Zhang Chuanqi said: "Dulant prefers the feet of Nike Flyknit Trainer and Nike Epic React. He is very keen on the soft and soft comfort of running shoes, so we also refer to a lot when designing new shoes. Durant is wearing the sneakers." Last summer, Durant liked to wear the Nike Air Sock Racer, which is the source of the KD11 shoe design, including the tongue and the edge of the shoe. In the actual wearing experience, the design of the neckline of the shoe is very comfortable, and the thin and light fit on the ankle, which increases the overall comfort of the shoe.

Detail first performance optimization

The Nike Zoom KD11 is also designed to be more comfortable in terms of comfort and feel. The outsole is designed to meet the player's need for a breakthrough in the game, and ultimately to achieve better performance through the S-curve design. This seemingly simple design is well suited to the player's athletic needs, reflecting the design team's control of the details. If you look closely, you will find that the curve has a lot of changes. For example, in the forefoot, you will find that these curves are no longer distributed along the S-shape, but are distributed in a fan shape. This fan-shaped design allows the grip of the shoe to be more powerful when it is cut laterally. This design is very suitable for Durant's style in the game.

Ultimate cushioning

The Nike Zoom KD11's midsole cushioning configuration is very exciting, and the Nike React foam that extends from the toe to the heel has excellent performance, and with the Nike's classic Zoom Air cushion, it creates a more comprehensive rebound experience. Just wearing this pair of boots at the beginning, you can clearly feel the rebound feel of the midsole. The responsive resilience performance allows the player to make more responsive moves in the game, which is perfect for a breakthrough swingman, and Durant is an outstanding representative of such players. Nike React and Nike Zoom Air technology combine to achieve a more comprehensive and rich performance. During the evaluation process, I also focused on the experience. In the process of starting the breakthrough, the forefoot will be very quick and quick to get feedback from the midsole. The feeling of quick rebound is very obvious, just like the reinforcement of a single Zoom Air cushion. Version", sneakers cushioning has always been the focus of sports brand technology research and development. Nike, which has done a very good job in this aspect, still has a great spirit of innovation and research and development. It is really admirable and is a great gospel for the development of sneaker technology. . Overall, the cushioning of this pair of sneakers is more comprehensive, and it can satisfy the players in any position on the court. The mid-range soft and moderate performance can satisfy the needs of more styles of players. KD11's shoe lasts are designed to fit the needs of more foot players.

"This is the pair of basketball shoes that have used React foam to date. The KD11 midsole cushioning is worth everyone's expectation. The biggest 'achievement' of the shoes in the game is as if it does not exist in the game, so the players will Can focus more on basketball." - Leo Chang

Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo

The Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo, who is familiar with the Nike Pegasus series, was surprised to see the Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo. It has almost no traditional imprint shape and ZoomX midsole cushioning technology is like a foreigner, and this first mint green color is so bright in the scorching sun. As for the actual combat performance, we can only know if we personally test it.

When you get the Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo, I believe everyone will exclaim their personality and futuristic shape. Mint green overall body color, bright spurs from the tongue to the forefoot, double-layer transparent texture of the upper, of course, the most striking is the cushioning configuration of the ZoomX midsole. When it comes to improvement, it is basically subversive in appearance, but is it friendly to the actual performance of the runners compared to the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 35? In this evaluation, we chose the regular plastic track, and the test was launched.

In this review, the author wore thicker towel socks, so the Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo felt a normal squeeze on the foot for a moment, so that the shoelace was not too tight during the warm-up phase. In the walking stage, the ZoomX midsole to get rid of the carbon board did not give me too exaggerated foot feeling, which is completely different from the 4% Nike Zoom Vaporfly. Presumably this is also the meaning of the "Turbo" version. That is to remove the carbon board, in order to better meet the daily training of ordinary runners. This more approachable approach did make the author feel at the beginning of the last step.

The improvement in Turbo is not only a bright spurt, but an overall performance upgrade and experience.

Turn on flight mode

However, in the running phase, the "ordinary" foot feeling described above disappeared. In the early days of running evaluation, Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo gave the author the feeling that although the carbon board was removed, it lost a lot in propulsion and speed, but due to the height difference of 10mm front and rear palms and the height of the forefoot of 12mm Its propulsion is still far stronger than most running shoes. And this feeling complements the fit of the upper, and does not cause the discomfort of the toe in the shoe last. In addition to the perfect design, on the other hand, thanks to the bright breeze.

It looks like the Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo's upper design is very simple, but in fact it has a mystery. The upper is identical to the NikeLab Zoom Fly SP's translucent stretch woven material, but in the transparent material, there is also a layer of half-palm boot mesh material. The double-layer upper not only improves the aesthetics and comfort, but also improves the half. The durability of transparent stretch braiding is a key to increasing service life. Although the speed strip seems to be a thin layer, it still improves the toughness of the upper to a certain extent, protects the toes, and strengthens the safety factor of night running, which is very user-friendly.

I have always valued the support performance of running, which is also the key to measuring the excellent performance of a pair of running shoes. Nike Flywire technology, which is placed between the double uppers, has always been the key technology to improve the package, Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo exception. When you run through every corner, you will feel the deformation of the fly line pulling the feet, pull the foot that is about to move sideways, and the thick tongue and the heel will also give support, no matter which type of running. They are very suitable. The outsole also continues the hexagonal nail-like pattern, and the grip is quite excellent.

Training top level configuration

Having said that, I finally have to go to the midsole performance. Maybe most runners don’t know. The Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo midsole has a layer of Nike React foam in addition to the ZoomX material. This may be on the foot. Not obvious, but the purpose is to enhance the durability and stability of the midsole. In running, the Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo's feedback to the feet is not a soft feeling, but a cushioning with a very good rebound. In the test run of more than 10Km, there was no feeling of any physical deformation in the midsole, and it seems that the mid-bottom folds have also improved.

At the end of the day, the author still wants to make a few shortcomings. Because the upper is strong, the big toe and the toe are in contact too frequently during the walking process, and the situation of rapid toe pressing will occur. Maybe this feeling It varies from person to person, but conditional runners are still better to try on before buying. The other problem is breathability. Although the underlying inner boot uses a mesh material, it feels a bit unfriendly in the sultry summer. However, in general, the Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo is still awkward, and the actual combat for runners is still significant.

If the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 35 is a real weapon, then the Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo is definitely a Plus version. A better look, a more advanced configuration, all this is a performance of a pair of high-performance running shoes. Of course, the price of 1399RMB is still a little expensive for many runners, but compared to Nike Zoom Vaporfly 4%, it is really a cost-effective way to remove the carbon board. And in addition to ZoomX, you can also feel the power of Nike React, the daily training for the runners can be said to be the best partner!
