NIKE DUNK (21 MERCER)

By admin

For Fall 08 Nike looks to Beijing for design inspiration, building a collection anchored around colors – while referencing the octagon that is central to the theme of the Fall 08 Nike Sportswear collection. Continuing the mission of pushing color innovations of the Nike Dunk for Fall 08, designers literally used the classic hi-top as a canvas upon which to experiment with digitally printed graphics. Canvas was the original material used in the uppers of basketball shoes at the inception of the sport, but the Canvas Nike Dunk is a different beast all together. Made from one piece of material, it provides a seamless backdrop for experimentation.

 

The concept for the graphics on this Nike Dunk is inspired by sports optics research done by an engineer named Chiro Fusco in the Innovation Kitchen. His studies found that the arrangement of shapes and colors on a garment like the Nike Swift speedskating suit can create the illusion of speed, a characteristic that adds psychological benefits during competition. For this Nike Dunk, a tightly knit pattern of tiny colored octagons the graphic motif Nike has chosen for Beijing is digitally printed on the canvas in a trompeil fashion, fooling the eye into seeing the iconic blocking of the original Nike Dunk shoes. The optical effect of these octadots makes the shoe appear blurred or farther away by creating the illusion of it being out of focus.

Shox Special Cushioning System

By admin

The Shox Shoes from Nike is packed with a lot of features that make it stand clearly out among all the other running shoes out there. But its flagship feature, upon which the Shox name was built, is the special cushioning system that it has. Shoes under the series feature an especially designed heel cushioning system with a stretchable and specially designed shape. Instead of the ordinary heel, the Nike Shox series is equipped with four hollow bubble columns made of rubber, which are actually what are called Shox.

 

Impact Absorpsion and Functional Stretch

 

The columns are positioned to form a square matrix for maximum effect. When the columns hit the ground, they are pushed back due to the impact. Then, they spring right back up as the energy rebounds, sending the runner on a stronger thrust forward. The columns are around 2.5 cm high, providing a functional stretch, but some columns have Shox with varying heights and shapes as well, depending on the purpose of the shoe.

 

High-Tech Elastic Cushioning

 

There are also some shoe types, such as those included in the Shox TL series, which have midsoles consisting entirely of Shox. Aside from the extra boost in your speed, the Shox also provides superior shock absorption with high-tech elastic foam that’s very resistant and durable.At the same time, the Nike Shox shoes are very stable so you can focus on your performance. The Nike shoe science is also continuously improved.
