AIR JORDAN XXII

Ready? When I first saw the Air Jordan XX, I asked myself, too many tricks have made me lose my expectations for Air Jordan. Really acceptable? When I first saw the Air Jordan XXI, I asked myself, too many gimmicks and dreams made me lose the passion I should have for the next generation Air Jordan. Can you really return? I asked myself before I saw the Air Jordan XXII for the first time.

From the information of the Air Jordan XXII that was previously in contact, it is clear that the Air Jordan XXII is inspired by the world's most secretive and advanced F22 fighter. The Air Jordan XXII is designed to set a new benchmark in performance, design and technology for the sports shoe industry. Like this fighter, just like the same name as Jordan, the Air Jordan XXII embodies the ultimate in air technology, providing athletes with a powerful weapon to win the game. This sneaker incorporates revolutionary advanced technology such as the improved IPS (Independent Podular Suspension) technology, which includes a double-layer compressed Zoom AIR and a shank plate reinforced with titanium for additional support. This pair of sports shoes will be the leader in its class.

Of course, these gorgeous rhetoric can not describe the true face of the Air Jordan XXII, but also make my heart more curious about the Air Jordan XXII. I have not been able to fully accept the overall transformation of the Air Jordan series from the Air Jordan XX. Starting with the Air Jordan XX, the Air Jordan series is closer to a category of basketball shoes. It will not be a pair of basketball players who can play in the field. Shoes, Air Jordan XX did not have the entire ankle part, gave up the inside line; and Air Jordan XXI is excessive emphasis on the ankle protection, but the entire side of the shoe is empty, for a motorcycle design concept, gave up the direction breakthrough. This time, I don't know what the Air Jordan XXII will bring.

When I first saw the Air Jordan XXII, I remembered the Air Jordan XV, the same design inspiration from the fighters, the same lines, the simple upper cut and the finely crafted technology became the most Obvious sign. At a closer look, the Air Jordan XXII has more of the shadow of Jumpman Madness, and the simple front and rear line-cut design is easy to make people feel excited. The Air Jordan XXII's upper is made of full-grain leather. The upper is not only decorated with a tailored sewing thread and the “XX2” logo, which is used to indicate its irreplaceable identity. It is the continuation of the simple design concept of Air Jordan XXI. The Air Jordan XXII's upper innovation is more on the tongue and heel. The tongue is made of breathable Mono mesh fabric and radiated through the Tensegrity design. The heel is covered with a large 3M patented material and titanium alloy. The stabilizer immediately made the whole pair of shoes feel full of technology. The old patented Sphere for lining has not been used anymore. The new double-density lined foam cotton uses the Tensegrity design to provide the best comfort. The injection molded outer collar uses Mono mesh for comfort and breathability. Sex.

In the midsole, the Air Jordan XXII will improve the successful midsole of the Air Jordan XXI. The heel can still be replaced on the Zoom and the ordinary Air Sole. What is interesting is that the IPS replacement unit has made some adjustments. A viewing window made of transparent material can clearly see the use of the air cushion. It seems that this design has brought the built-in air cushion back to people. This design is only the innovative design of the Air Jordan series. It is better for the wearer to understand the difference between Air-Sole and Zoom Air. The former is soft and easy to control; the latter is comfortable and explosive. Different air cushions are available for different competitions, which is the most fascinating part of this design.

The outsole is designed with a combination of crystal rubber and traditional hard rubber. The crystal rubber on the edge is covered with herringbone lines. The ergonomically designed part of the foot is made up of rectangular lines of grip to make the friction performance unbeatable. Of course, this design can be seen on the previous two generations of Air Jordan. What really delights is the disappearance of carbon fiber board. Yes, this Air Jordan XXII has been replaced with a titanium alloy support plate. The midsole has disappeared. Fragile carbon fiber board. This is the biggest innovation and most anticipated place for the Air Jordan XXII.

In 1992, Jordan was ill in the semi-finals of the New York Knicks. At the last minute, with a buzzer ball, the Bulls came back to life and reached the final. He is a basketball hero, using his own power to dominate the game, conquering opponents and winning.

JORDAN WORK’M

In this world, there is never a shortage of heroes who fail. In the NBA, those superstars who have lost their careers to the championship have written one sad story after another basketball shoes free shiping. When the Pacers lost to the Pistons 79-88 at home on May 20, 2005, Reggie Miller, who has been wearing the No. 31 jersey's cold-faced killer for 18 years, has an irreparable regret. I left this beloved arena.
Miller is not the top star, but definitely the most difficult player. A player who can get the respect of his opponent is undoubtedly the biggest affirmation to him. Many people don't like Miller because he used to be the enemy of "flying man" Jordan. The defensive defensive, the rubbish talk, the final murder of the teeth... But Jordan doesn't think so, or he will not immediately pull the enemy into his "JORDAN TEAM" camp after his second retirement in 1998. among. Because Miller’s spirit of never giving up is not only like Jordan, but also difficult for others to learn. Although he did not achieve such a great achievement as Jordan, but there is no such thing as the flying man LOGO.
Thus, from the first time wearing the AIR JORDAN XIV in 1999, the JORDAN brand accompanied Miller through the second half of his career. JORDAN WORK’M, worn in 2005, witnessed the final footprint of the greatest shooter in NBA history. The combination of the features of AIR JORDAN XIV also makes people sigh the reincarnation of fate.
Joining the Wizards of Jordan, it is not the "flying man" who can fly. His shoe design is increasingly focused on stability and protection, and this feature is also reflected in the JORDAN brand TEAM shoes. This pair of JORDAN WORK’M also gives people a feeling of stability and weight, which coincides with the commemorative meaning.
The AIR JORDAN series has entered the 20th year, and this year's launch of a number of JORDAN TEAM styles also have some commemorative taste: each pair of shoes has the shadow of AIR JORDAN series shoes. The same is true for JORDAN WORK’M. The AIR JORDAN II's “Fengqin” heel and AIR JORDAN XIV's headlight decoration can be seen on both shoes. Moreover, although the "combination" design method is adopted, JORDAN WORK'M is not cumbersome, and the simple appearance makes it easy to accept it. The triangular metal buckles are the biggest highlight of the whole pair of shoes.
JORDAN WORK’M has a thick tongue that may feel uncomfortable when worn initially, but slowly, its advantages are reflected: it fits well with your feet. Plus the soft upper and the JORDAN WORK’M wrap is very good. However, it is puzzling: JORDAN WORK’M has no venting holes on the upper, so its breathability will naturally not be complimented.
Like the AIR JORDAN II, JORDAN WORK’M's crotch protection is excellent. This is especially important for older Miller, who can also choose to protect themselves. Moreover, although materials such as TUP and carbon sheets are not visible, the stability of JORDAN WORK'M is very good.
I have to admit: JORDAN WORK’M is really a lot of pain in terms of shock absorption. The improved full palm AIR SOLE can meet the needs of sports, but JORDAN WORK'M has also made an article on the insole: the thin, soft layer of gray material on the top of the insole is EVA, most of the middle The white material is PU, and the force parts of the heel, forefoot and big toe are used with shock-absorbing glue. This design is often seen on ADIDAS, but NIKE shoes are rare. And the insole is very thick, and even the shock absorption of JORDAN WORK’M comes from it to a large extent. Although not comparable to ZOOM AIR, there is another feeling. Of course, the thick midsole has an effect on the starter and disguise of the wearer. However, people with high physical or protective requirements are naturally very satisfied with this design.
JORDAN WORK’M is not eye-catching, but has been accompanying Miller to this year's Eastern Conference Semifinals, which has made the Pacers' "salted fish turn over" and experienced the final battle of the killer. Its down-to-earth style, just like running around to find vacancies, after catching the ball is a sword to seal the throat of Miller. With JORDAN WORK’M accompanying you to run on the court, what more can you do after a hard game?

NIKE Air Force S.T.A.T

As we all know, Air Force S.T.A.T. is the first generation of signature boots launched by NIKE for "Small King" Stoudemire. S.T.A.T. is the abbreviation of "Standing Tall And Talented" by Stoudemire for many years. It's hard to see Xiaobian's high rating of 4 points for shoes. Especially after Li Ning 2BMB011-1 has been tested in the past, what kind of charm does Air Force STAT have in the end? ? How much thought did NIKE put into this pair of shoes? Look at it and you will know.

Let's start with protection, or two aspects, ankle protection and shock absorption protection. Air Force S.T.A.T.'s ankle protection is impeccable, and NIKE has shown the same domineering attitude as Stoudemire on the court in the treatment of the ankle protection of these shoes. Large heel support, high-elastic inner boots, double velcro locks, especially the hard PU Swoosh on the outside of the shoe, so that the whole ankle is solid, even if the small size is selected to wear more than the usual half of the shoes, still You can feel full ankle protection and wrap. In addition, the more intimate is the elastic pad attached to the heel of the heel (the orange part of the upper), which is a design that Xiaobian personally loves, which does not cause friction with the Achilles while fixing the ankle. ,very good.

As for the shock absorption, Air Force S.T.A.T. can be said to have made a milestone attempt or contribution, which is the "amazing midsole design" summarized by Xiaobian in the advantages. Intuitive feelings can only be described as running on the air with "RUN ON AIR". If you are an experienced shoe fan, you will know that Max Air usually feels hard because it has to take care of people with a lot of weight, especially the Max Air. But Air Force S.T.A.T. is totally different, and its midsole feels flexible and flexible. Personally, this is inseparable from those translucent gelatinous materials. On the way from the outsole that connects the outsole, Air Force S.T.A.T. wraps the heel and supports the middle section with a translucent, slightly sticky material. It should be that, giving the Air Force S.T.A.T. midsole exceptional performance. And the small stars in front of it also hinted at the blood relationship between this shoe and Air Force 1. The performance of Max Air itself is enough to make us praise. The efficient shock absorption is the basis of its foundation, and the excellent performance of the kinetic energy is our surprise.

This shoe uses NIKE's unique Sphere boots, which also explains its high-end shoe identity from the side, and the good sense of wrapping also brings comfort. Especially the specially designed Velcro on the inside of the vamp. Not only is the effect of support and wrapping not obvious, but it will be very good for people who have such a high foot. When the time is long, the toes will be numb because of poor blood flow.


The outsole of this shoe looks like a traditional wavy design, but a closer look reveals that it is subtly integrated with the words "AIR MAX" and "STAT". The grip of the Air Force S.T.A.T. and the control of the ground are equally impressive. The only problem is that the midsole of the Max Air is not so wearable. However, it has made some efforts for durability in the toe cap, and the double-layered toe cap is also one of the characteristics of this shoe. On the inside of the upper, you can also see NIKE's "thin" effort for its breathability, but the multi-layered upper is obviously more "insulated". The thick midsole has a slight impact on stability and there is a suspicion that this shoe becomes a high-heeled shoe.

Finally, there are two interesting signs on the shoe to say, one is the left foot "610.245" right foot "25.OPSI" on the inside. The left foot is well explained, it is the height and weight of Stoudemire, 6 feet 10 inches, 245 pounds. The understanding of the right foot is somewhat said to be the age of Stoudemire, but the more reliable interpretation of the test is the pressure value inside the air cushion. This set of logos can reflect the body and incomparable strength of Stoudemire, and the embroidered word "Still f Rise..." on the inside of the tongue is the embodiment of Stoudemire's confidence. In addition, it is said that this shoe is a very expensive shoe, it seems that the price of 1180 RMB is not entirely unreasonable.

Air Max 360 Basketball

My admiration for the air cushion has always supported me to buy a variety of sports shoes. Of course, most of them are air cushion shoes, and I also started my own shoe hunting career with a special preference for air cushions. I am in my collection, I also study the air cushion, understand the air cushion for my greatest pleasure.

I have been deeply fascinated by the small window that was inlaid in the middle of the sole for the first time since I was a child. I didn’t know until later that the name of the pair of cheap basketball shoes was: Air Revolution, what a representative name, the air cushion is indeed A complete revolution, abandoning the thick sponge rubber in the midsole, let the air flow under our feet, in fact, my weight makes me enjoy the feeling of the air spring.

In fact, I think that air cushion technology will have a qualitative leap every once in a while. This leap directly promotes the maturity of today's air cushion technology, and each leap is marked by a pair of specific air cushion shoes. These iconic air cushion shoes It is my indispensable collection. From the Air Revolution in 1988 to the Air Force 180 in 1991, the air cushion has finally grown bigger and abandoned the sole. The Olympic version of the Air Force 180 has always been my favorite collection. After 1993, Air Force Max brought Max Air, and the air cushion finally began to greet its own glorious era. In 1996, Air More Uptempo was a pair of basketball shoes that promoted the air cushion culture to the top. The appearance of the full palm cushion was completely subverted. People's concept, then with the appearance of Zoom Air, the exposed air cushion gradually began to stagnate, in addition to a set of full palm cushions borrowed from running shoes, the external air cushion sports shoes are really exhausted, until this year's Air Max 360.

The appearance of Air Max 360 has once again ignited the hope of air-cushion basketball shoes. The Air Max 360 Basketball, which is derived from it, reproduces the glorious history of air-cushion basketball shoes. The Air Max 360 Basketball is the most advanced product in the Nike Basketball Force series. The most successful part of this new air cushion structure is to completely eliminate the foam structure of the midsole, so that the entire air cushion is filled in the midsole, and we will bid farewell to the bubble midsole.

I belong to the first lucky ones who have Air Max 360 Basketball. I am so eager for this new air-cushion basketball shoes, and after a while I can say that the Air Max 360 Basketball has brought me more shock than it Eye-catching appearance. The midsole of the Air Max 360 Basketball has completely got rid of the stagnation of the foam midsole. Every time on the court, the Air Max 360 air cushion can always give feedback to the wearer's ground for the first time, and the wearer needs to change the direction of movement urgently. The first time response is provided; at the same time, due to the removal of the foam midsole, the mid-base cushioning of the Air Max 360 Basketball will be completely completed with TPU and air cushion. This feeling is more comfortable, not like the tough cushioning of Shox. Unlike the DMX's overly weak airbags, the Air Max 360 Basketball midsole can be said to be unique, and even unnaturally feels like wearing a running shoe. Of course, the drawbacks of air-cushion basketball shoes are still obvious. As a pair of center shoes, the Air Max 360 Basketball can be described as a prestige, but if the wearer needs to be more flexible to make some breakthroughs and change directions, too high ground height and fragility The lateral support has become fatal, and perhaps the Air Max 180 Basketball with Air Max 360 Basketball can solve this problem.

The shape of the Air Max 360 Basketball is relatively regular. The Laser pattern on the upper is the main decoration. It can be said that the Laser pattern is still showing the noble status of the Air Max 360 Basketball to some extent, and it does not make the appearance of the Air Max 360 Basketball. On a higher level, the discerning person will be able to recognize the shape of the Air Max 360 Basketball and continue from the big brothers of its Force series.

Although I can only get to know the Air Max 360 Basketball, the first contact has made me have a lot of good looks. The advantage of the air-cushion basketball shoes is not lost. At the same time, Nike is recovering the missing parts step by step. Come, maybe the bubble midsole will eventually become a historical vocabulary. Perhaps the first step in this change is to start with the Air Max 360 Basketball.
