Cai Wei Talks About The Design Of PEAK Challenger Generation Boots

< p > Q: if a sneaker without three level cushioning technology can become a representative of PEAK's high-end basketball shoes, what does that mean? What is the problem? A: it must be a new technology that is more cool, more dazzling, more athletic and more futuristic than three level.

As the masterpiece of PEAK's gradient dual energy technology, "Challenger" is an elite work after the "Big Bang" of PEAK science and technology research and development.

Let's invite Cai Weijian, the core of gradient accelerated technology research and development, to tell you a lot about new sneakers and new technologies.

< /p >

< p > < strong > many people do not understand the technology of gradient dual energy very well. Can you introduce a gradient dual energy technology in a relatively simple way of narration? < /strong > /p >

< p > > a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/pioneer/" > Cai Weijian < /a >: gradient and dual energy should be understood separately.

Popularly speaking, the gradient is based on the natural form, pressure distribution and movement characteristics of human feet, and put different gradient seismic materials and elastic materials in different areas of the middle of the shoe.

Dual energy means accelerating the front palm faster through these different gradient materials, thus helping the wearer start faster on the court.

Followed by gradient slow motion is to help the wearer landing more stable, so as to achieve a double effect.

< /p >

< p > < strong > what is the starting point of your earliest research and development of gradient dual energy technology? What is the inspiration for R & D? < /strong > /p >

< p > Cai Weijian: more than a year ago, we found that many top basketball players spend a lot of money to customize an insole suitable for their feet and playing style to meet their individual needs.

At that time, we thought that this would be a trend of the development of sports shoes in the future.

After all, everyone's foot type is different, and the way of playing is different. The standardized design can not meet the special needs.

Therefore, we have made full use of our R & D advantages and met the customized needs of athletes and consumers through the development of dual energy technology.

By observing natural phenomena, building structures, terraced fields and so on, we choose to use gradient structure as a way of constructing the difference between the pressure of the feet and the difference between them.

< /p >

< p > < strong > how long did you spend on the development of gradient dual energy technology? What is the process of it? < /strong > /p >

< p > Cai Weijian: since March 2012, we have been researching and developing a top-level basketball shoes to meet the individual needs of athletes and consumers. We have been working on this aspect for nearly a year.

First of all, through the observation and analysis of the foot shape and sole pressure of a dozen players signed by PEAK, and a great deal of communication with them, we have determined a preliminary distribution plan of sole material.

Then our company's design department, functional innovation department, and shoe technology development department have tried different distribution, level, material, technology and structure, and have carried out a lot of physical tests with the famous sports biomechanics Institute of Beijing Sport University, "sports mechanics laboratory", which has accumulated valuable experience for us to finally develop this technology successfully.

Finally, we produced a large number of sample shoes equipped with gradient dual energy technology, and provided them with trial wear for contract players and experiencer, and then they feedback relevant feelings to us, so as to guide us to finish the work finally.

< /p >

< p > < strong > we know that Parke's "lightning PE" is the first PEAK basketball shoes to be equipped with this technology. How does Parke feel about this new technology? < /strong > /p >

< p > Cai Weijian: he will spend money to buy some insoles that can help him start faster on the court.

So when Parke heard about this idea, PEAK was very excited. At that time he declared that he wanted to try this new technology.

Parke is obviously a demand for such technology.

< /p >

< p > < strong > "Challenger" is the first pair of PEAK a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > high grade basketball shoes < /a > with gradient dual energy technology. Does this mean that in the future, PEAK's three stage slow shock technology will gradually withdraw from the use of basketball shoes? < /strong > /p >

< p > Cai Weijian: we will gradually apply gradient dual energy technology to some other sneakers, but the three level slow shock will certainly not quit the stage of history.

After all, these two are not scientific and technological concepts of conflict, nor are there any differences between advanced and backward ones.

< /p >

< p > < strong > how to define which shoes need to carry three degree of shock mitigation technology, which shoes need to be equipped with gradient dual energy technology? Will it be judged according to what you have just said, suitable and inappropriate? < /strong > /p >

< p > Cai Weijian: that's right! Let's take a real example: when we are designing basketball shoes for Battier, the three level of slow motion is the first choice, because his playing style determines that he needs more support for slow motion rather than accelerating the front of his hand.

And for speed players like Parke, lorry and Hill, the gradient dual energy technology on the shoes is definitely more comprehensive than the three level.

< /p >

< p > < strong > we see that < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp > Challenger < /a > the words" FOOTHOLD 3D "are printed on the soles of the challenger. What is the concept of 3D?

< p > Cai Weijian: This is the same reason that we see the difference between 3D movies and ordinary movies.

3D movies are more effective and have stronger sense of experience.

We now know that 3D is a three-dimensional structure.

The TPU of the foot arch of the challenger is also designed according to the natural form of the foot arch.

Compared with the traditional one dimensional and two-dimensional TPU, the 3D version of TPU has stronger stereoscopic structure, stronger multiple force pmission and more stability.

< /p >

< p > < strong > from Parke's "lightning" to today's Challenger, PEAK shoes color matching began to diversify.

Green, yellow and other light colored sneakers appear more and more frequently, which has changed greatly compared with PEAK's previous product color matching.

What do you think of this change? < /strong > < /p >

< p > Cai Weijian: like our design concept, PEAK's products are also designed to meet the needs of athletes and consumers.

Functionally, we are satisfied, and we must try our best to cater for them.

We can see that in the rapid development of the Internet age, more and more athletes and consumers are paying more attention to personalized expression. They hope to show their sparkle on the golf course, between friends and more occasions. Colorful and colorful matching has become an effective way to express their individuality.
