Liu Xiang Olympic Equipment Unveiled

Liu Xiang will start his first appearance at the Beijing Olympic Games in August 18th, and his Olympic equipment will be unveiled in Beijing on the 31 th: 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 specially designed and developed by Nike for hurdle spikes of Liu Xiang.

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

Lv Yazi, senior footwear product manager of the company, which is responsible for the Olympic footwear product development project, said: "Liu Xiang has tried this shoe, indicating that the shoe is very fitting and very light." we have prepared 8 to 10 pairs of shoes for Liu Xiang in the Beijing Olympic Games.

She said that the Zoom Aerofly LX shoe upper with the latest Flywire innovation technology released this year is made of special synthetic leather, which is more lightweight and provides better support for Liu Xiang's feet.

The thickness of the upper is less than 2 microns, and is supported only by fine-grained fibers. The high-strength thin wire is like the cable of the suspension bridge, and the location of each fine line is precisely designed at the part where the foot needs support.

On the basis of Flywire fiber, the Zoom Aerofly LX shoe upper keeps the design of the mature and hasp of Liu Xiang's spiked shoes.

In addition to Liu Xiang's request, 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.

The sole of Zoom Aerofly LX is designed for Liu Xiang's technical characteristics.

Liu Xiang's strength and explosive force are good, landing strong, and need to pop up soon after landing, so designers use a special carbon fiber floor to make a solid forehand.

Liu Xiang landed on the front foot for hurdles landing, and his hind paw did not fall. So the designer used the design of the front half floor as carbon fiber board, and then the bottom plate used the characteristic rubber with good damping effect.

Liu Xiang himself participated in the design discussion of shoes. One of his favorite sole parts was the design of the front palm with only five nails, which reduced the weight of the shoes.

The location of the studs accords with the biomechanical research results can reduce the pressure on the foot compression point and increase the grip ability, "Lv Yazi said.
