About 160x3.0 Primary Function: Inkweto zo Kwiruka

160X3.0 ni inkweto zo kwiruka marato zagenewe abiruka intera ndende. Izi nkweto zakozwe zishingiye ku myitwarire yo kwiruka no ku miterere y'ibirenge by'abasiganwa b'Abashinwa. Igipangu cya karubone kinini cyuzuye cyashyizwe mu gisenge kigizwe n'imirongo ibiri, aho iki gipangu kibika kandi kikarekura ingufu igihe umwiruka akandagira akongera agasunika. Igisenge gifite imirongo miremire ibiri gikwirakwiza uburemere bw'umubiri ku buso bunini bukoraho igihe hari umuzigo. Ibikoresho birimo insole ya foromu, hagati mu gisenge hakozwe muri nylon foromu, hejuru hakozwe mu budodo bworoshye ndetse n'igisenge kidasohoka vuba kandi kidatereta. Intego ni ugutuma abiruka bagumana ubwuzu n'imyikorere ihamye mu gihe barokora imbaraga ku ntera ndende.

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.
