Full-Scenario Adaptable Protective Gear for Mass Casual Running & Light Sports

5-10km Casual Running

Top Cushioning & Shock Absorption

(1)Core Mission

Solving Three Core Contradictions in Mass Sports:

1. Sports Injury Dilemma: After 300km of use, the cushioning attenuation of traditional running shoes exceeds 40%, leading to a 300% increase in knee impact force

2. Sports Injury Black Hole: Non-professional runners suffer from lateral stress concentration, with an ankle sprain rate as high as 85%

(2)Hardcore Technology Matrix

1. Space Bubble Midsole Flexible Elastic Shock Absorption Technology

Adopting vacuum foaming process, with an air cell density of 120 million per cubic centimeter.

Ground contact rebound rate of 87% (surpassing the international standard of 78%)

Pressure distribution uniformity per unit area reaching 92%

2.Geometric 3D Support Structure

Diamond-cut Support and Torsion-Resistant System, with lateral support force distribution (±15° dynamic adjustment)

Scientific Angular Widened Outsole, stable for both forefoot and full-foot striking styles;

3、All-Dimensional Comfort Satisfaction

Wear-resistant and anti-slip, with full-sole coverage of 5 types of tread patterns, ensuring excellent grip on both slippery and smooth surfaces.

Double Ventilation for Freshness: lightweight mesh upper + funnel-shaped insole, providing dual ventilation to prevent foot stuffiness.

Wide Last-Friendly: first-class level wide last design, ensuring no squeezing or chafing for special foot shapes.

(3)Scenario-Based Solutions

1.Urban Jogging (5-10km): Top cushioning & shock absorption, plus geometric stable torsion-resistant system for stable stride

2.Lightweight Training (Aerobics): Outsole with multiple geometric patterns + widened design for anti-slip stability

3.Commuting Wear: Double ventilation system + invisible height-increasing

(4)Design Philosophy

1.Sports Performance × Fashion Expression

• Dynamic streamlined upper and geometric-patterned outsole

2.Lightweight × Ultra-Long Durability

• Total shoe weight ≤230g for size 41 (tested)

• Key components have passed 100,000 fatigue tests

(5)Industrial Value

1.Prevention Index" evaluation system for mass sports equipment

2.Promoting the upgrade of domestic sports materials from "basic performance" to "scenario-based adaptation"

3.Building a "Hardware Collection-Cloud Analysis-Personalized Recommendation" health management closed loop
