Liu Xiang's shoes

Hi tech, of course.

According to Xinhua news agency, "flying man" Liu Xiang will start his first appearance at the Beijing Olympic Games in August 18th.

Yesterday, his Olympic equipment was unveiled in Beijing: a pair of shoes with thin shoes like shoes, second like skin sports vests and shorts.

This pair of spikes is called Zoom Aerofly LX, which is a hurdle spiked shoe specially designed and developed for Liu Xiang by a well-known sports product company.

The vamp is bright yellow, the sole is red, and each shoe weighs 214 grams.

The company prepared 8 to 10 pairs of shoes for Liu Xiang to participate in the Beijing Olympic Games.

This special nail shoe upper with the latest technology released this year and made of special synthetic leather, is more lightweight and provides better support for Liu Xiang's feet.

These shoes are less than 2 microns in thickness and are supported only by fine-grained fibers.

High strength thin wires are like cables of suspension bridges. The location of each thin line is precisely designed to support the feet.

In addition, at the request of Liu Xiang, in order to protect his right foot more, designers increased the thickness of the foam cotton in the heel position of the right shoe upper to better lock the ankle.

This new type of shoe can also solve a problem that has not been solved: foot slip.

When people wear shoes to walk or run, foot slip occurs at every step.

Although it is only 1 millimeter slip, it will accumulate a lot in the whole process of competition.

According to the pace of 1 meters, after 1000 meters, it is equivalent to a total of 1 meters less than the first and third. The gap between the first and the third is often less than 1 meters, so this figure can not be ignored.

In addition, the sole is designed for Liu Xiang's technical characteristics.

It is reported that Liu Xiang personally participated in the design discussion of shoes. One of his favorite sole parts is the design of the front sole with only five nails, which reduces the weight of the shoes. The position of the spikes can also reduce the pressure on the foot compression point and increase the ability of grasping the floor.

According to Liu Xiang himself, before the start, he would close his eyes and silently recollect, "is the shoelace tied up?"

Are the studs stable?

Have your clothes been sorted out yet?

At the last minute, he would still calm down and stick the buttons on his shoes again, then he would stand up without fear and enter the competition state.

This magic clasp is Liu Xiang's psychological pressure reducing valve.

Therefore, the original design of the lightweight shoe upper, retaining the buckle design, is to help Liu Xiang enter the most concentrated competition.

The zipper was also asked by Liu Xiang to keep it, because he didn't like the long shoelace that affected his performance, so he simply wrapped his shoelaces in the zipper.

In addition, the design of the new sports vest and shorts is also full of technology elements.

Chinese track and field sprinters, including Liu Xiang, prefer to wear sports vest and shorts for competitions.

The designer found that the traditional split shorts and vests can be blown up when they run, forming extra resistance. Therefore, a carefully designed net system is used to match the back of the sportswear to enhance the air permeability.

The "seamless splicing" technology allows no adhesive, clothing or joints around the upper arm, thereby reducing all possible friction elements.

The front part of the sports shorts is also flat, which can reduce additional windage.
