The Design

About 160x3.0 Primary Function: Laafschong

160X3.0 ass e Marathon-Laafschong deen fir Laangstreckelaf entworf gouf. De Schong ass ronderëm d'Laafgewunnechten an d'Fußform vu chinesesche Sportler geformt. Eng Kuelestoffplack iwwer déi ganz Längt ass an eng duebelschichteg Suel agebaut, wou d'Plack Energie späichert a fräisetzt wann de Leefer erof trëtt an ofstéisst. Déi duebelbogeg Suel verdeelt d'Kierpergewiicht ënner Belaaschtung op eng méi grouss Kontaktfläch. D'Materialien enthalen eng Schaum-Bannesuel, eng Nylon-Schaum-Mëttelsuel, en Uewer aus liichte Garn an eng ofnotzungsbestänneg, rutschfest Suel. D'Zil ass et, d'Leefer bequem a stabil ze halen a gläichzäiteg iwwer laang Distanzen Effort ze spueren.

Unique Properties: 160X3. 0 marathon racing shoes are specially designed according to the sports habits and preferences of Chinese marathon athletes, with the characteristics of comfort, assistance and stability. Its built-in carbon plate boost system can react on the user through the user's own strength, so as to make full use of the muscle energy during the user's movement and provide excellent stability and comfort for the user's movement.
Dimensions & Packaging: Length 360mm
Width 240mm
Height 130mm
Tags: Professional Marathon racing shoes, marathon training shoes, lightweight running shoes, wear-resistant and anti-skid soles, carbon plate boost system
Production Technology: Insole: x-dynamic foam Pb, nylon foam midsole
Shoe body: lightweight tough yarn frame
Sole: wear resistant and non slip CPU sole
Heel: thickened full wrapped foam
Carbon board: full-length fiber carbon board
Design Challenge: The widened fiber carbon plate in the sloe is specially designed for marathoners, which does work especially when they force to start so as to make the utmost of the kinetic energy. In addition, the design of insole takes full account of the foot shape of Chinese consumers in order to gain full contact with their feet and reduce the angle of motion of the metatarsal-phalangeal joint, thereby substantially improving the muscle strength effect.
Research: The long distance and time-consuming characteristics of marathon are the main reasons why it is different from ordinary track and field sports. In addition to the physical fitness of marathon athletes, their shoes are also an important factor affecting athletes. Therefore, how to maintain comfort and save physical strength for athletes during marathon has become the main goal of shoe research and development.
Inspiration: 160X3. The appearance of 0 is inspired by the arc rocking chair. When the user wears shoes and presses, the contact area between the double arc sole and the ground will increase according to the increase of the user's weight, so as to effectively disperse the user's own weight to the ground; When the user starts, the sole will provide the user with starting kinetic energy due to elasticity, thus reducing the waste rate of user motion energy.
Operation Flow: 160X3. Based on ergonomics, a bionic carbon plate propulsion structure is designed in the sole. The upper arc full-length elastic support carbon plate is built in the double-layer structure of the sole, which can store and release the boost kinetic energy when the user steps on and starts, so as to make full use of the muscle energy during the user's movement and provide excellent stability and comfort for the user's movement.
