In June 1997, with NIKE launching AIR FOAMPOSITE ONE endorsed by Hardaway, this material called "FOAMPOSITE" began to be used in NIKE's most high-end shoes. The main purpose of the introduction of this material is to use its "one-shot" manufacturing process principle, coupled with the toughness and support of the foam material itself to improve the overall performance of the shoe, which is completely different from the other shoes. Can be used as a revolution in the design of the shoe upper. At the same time, due to the characteristics of the material itself, FOAMPOSITE's plasticity allows designers to boldly design what they want to express. In the shape of the shoes, NIKE is also making an unusual breakthrough. Although the shoes using this material can not be a system by themselves, but because these shoes do look very special, more people will always see a pair of shoes with different colors as a whole. In the six years from 1997 to 2003, NIKE used the FOAMPOSITE material to create a miracle and create a legend. So we have to relive the history of FOAMPOISTE from AIR FOAMPOSITE ONE to AIR ULTRAPOSITE over the past 6 years.
Part 1: Air Foamposite one and Air Total Foamposite Max (development stage)
In the 1997 NBA playoffs, PENNY HARDAWAY, the defender of the Orlando Magic, who was still in the Eastern Conference, was inadvertently wearing a pair of very eye-catching sneakers. The blue of these shoes shines with the magic team's clothes. In 1997, Jordan returned to the rest of the season. In the two years that Jordan launched the basketball world, the sales of NIKE's Jordan shoes were greatly reduced. Although Jordan was still playing in the NBA, due to the growing age, the time for retirement was also Getting closer and closer, forcing NIKE to look for Jordan's successor in a rainy day, perhaps this successor can't win the championship one after another, but its appeal is not as good as Jordan. PENNY HARDAWAY, with such a high popularity and skill, became the best candidate at the time. In the many years when Jordan and NIKE took off at the same time, NIKE kept using his best sneaker technology to make Jordan climb one step at a time. Therefore, this pair of AIR FOAMPOSITE ONE appeared on PENNY's feet, three years later, Similarly, SHOX was also on the foot of Vince Carter with the latest technology. In 1997, PENNY was at its peak, and it was with his peak period that he won a new page of NIKE.
From the perspective of today's shoes, it seems that there are still some regrets, but compared with the later several shoes, the classic reason is very full. In terms of technology content, the uppers of these shoes are like the shell of the beetle highlighted in "NIKE 30YEAR SOLE PROVIDER". They are basically completely wrapped by FOAMPOSITE materials, using DYNAMIC-FIT INNERSLEEVE boots, full ZOOM AIR With a carbon tray. Basically laid the basic configuration of several FOAMPOSITE sneakers. As far as the shoes are concerned, the side supports are quite perfect due to the large amount of used foamed material. In the field, the crystal rubber outsole of herringbone Galles and Jordan 11th generation was used, and this translucent rubber was improved, and the wear resistance was greatly improved, but after a while, it would still yellow. It seems that the erosion of oxygen seems to be difficult on the earth. Perhaps it is only in space that the shoes that Taiwanese call "space shoes" become a classic that will never change. The midsole uses the full-foot ZOOM AIR, which is the same as the Jordan 12-generation configuration, but the 12-generation full-hand ZOOM did not achieve the comfort level achieved on these shoes. On the two famous foreign SNEAKER websites RETROKID and KICKSOLOGY, there is an unanimous evaluation of this pair of shoes: this is a revolutionary epoch-making basketball shoe that changes the traditional thinking of basketball shoes design and makes the design of basketball shoes After the modernization.
At the same time as the launch of AIR FOAMPOISTE ONE, there is a slightly modified version of the pair of shoes, namely AIR FOAMPOSITE PRO. Some of the differences are that this PRO version is more concentrated to show NIKE's SWOOSH, on both sides and soles. There are traditional signs. The shoes have never fallen off at the price of 1800, which was released in 1997. Including ONE and PRO versions, ONE is the most expensive price, the price of the first year sneakers, ONE climbed to more than 2,500, and PRO is less than 2,300, and it is not always possible to find the right number with such price. While NIKE is optimistic about the market prospects, it has launched a replica version of this pair of shoes. From 1997 to 2003, the latest pair of red FOAMPOSITE appeared on the shelves. NIKE used this pair of revolutionary sneakers. Gain money with comfort and commemorative meaning. The historical mission of these shoes is too heavy, and its value has soared with heavy historical burdens. The price of 170 dollars is basically the most expensive except for the double-faced Peyton 4th generation and the Italian-made AIR FORCE 1 LUX. Initial offer price.
After the launch and popularity of this pair of shoes, in 1998 NIKE successfully launched its follow-up product: TOTAL AIR FOAMPOSITE MAX. The spokespersons of the pair of shoes at the time were the NBA's few Spurs who used the double center tactics. The pair of shoes worn by Robinson and Duncan were also called "double towers." However, the player version is a white and black configuration. In the publicly available style, it is mainly silver, and the appearance of metal is called "steel."
The shoes are not substantially different from the foamposite one on the upper, and the foamposite material continues to wrap around the full foot and continues to use dynamic-fit innersleeve boots. However, because the players who use the shoes are different, there are certain changes in the details. In terms of ankle protection, the waist of the shoes is higher than the previous generation, and the ankles can be felt after the shoelaces are tight. The dead family is in the middle of two layers of foamposite material. Even if the NBA players don't wear bandages or other protective ankles before the game, the support that these shoes can provide can be said to be exceptionally high. One sentence that was circulated at the time was that if you wear these shoes, you will never stumble, and wearing these shoes will be injured only because it is too tightly wrapped around the ankle. As a pair of center shoes, total max air is used in the midsole. This is already the ultimate in the visible test cushion. Now it seems that nike has not decided at the beginning what kind of midsole technology to match the upper technology that has never been used before, so there is some disease-free medical treatment. Things, although the shoes are not inferior to other total air max air cushion shoes, but the disadvantages of foamposite are more obvious on these shoes. First of all, the hardness and weight of foamposite are not much improved. Like the previous generation, the human foot still needs to adapt to the pair of shoes, and the adaptability of the shoes to the human foot is basically slow. The general problem of center shoes is heavy, although from the overall history of the NBA, the center has occupied a long-term dominant position, whether a team has a reliable center can hardly win the NBA championship, in Jordan second After retiring, the team that won the championship basically relied on the center to win. However, the role of the center does not mean that their shoes can be more popular in the market, look at the sales of the most recent center's signature shoes: Ewing, this has its own signature shoes, but the sales are not good, and finally put on nike Ordinary center shoes: Olajuwon, signed with Spalding and launched their signature shoes, but basically no market; O'Neill, when He Ruibu has a contract, several pairs of basketball shoes can also be unsatisfactory as a quasi-classic People recollected it, and the dunk.net shoes after the cancellation were basically difficult to see in the market. Even after he won three championships, the footlocker did not take the shoes as headlines; Duncan, and nike After the two pairs of shoes sold, people changed their eyes to adidas, and adidas also said that there is no plan for Duncan to launch signature shoes. After this summary, we can know that because the center needs more protection, the weight and protection of the shoes are relatively hard, but at the same time the weight and flexibility of the shoes are greatly reduced. After all, in daily life, few people can grow to more than 2.10 meters. You can use your body to feel the softness of max air, and you need this protective shoe to protect yourself. Although the protection that faomposite can achieve is unmatched by any sneaker, too much cumbersome performance is difficult for more people to accept.
For the above reasons, the air total foamposite max price of 1800 did not cause too much embarrassment in the market. From the outside, although the shape of this pair of shoes is not inferior to the previous generation design, but due to market reasons, nike After the sale of the shoes in 1998, it has not been re-enacted. The twin towers with only two color schemes (silver/black, all black) are basically rare in the current market. However, due to the fact that there are fewer twin towers in the market, the price has not fallen to the bottom. Many sneakers who like foamposite shoes and those who value the noble appearance of these shoes still hold these shoes as the jewels. After all, the significance of these shoes is greater than their own value.
