Vaporfly, which challenges runners to run a full marathon in under two hours, and Free, a natural-motion, near-barefoot running shoe, have all taken the running market by storm in recent years.NikeNike has announced the Nike Joyride Run Flyknit running shoes with a new sole technology. Nike has released "Nike Joyride Run Flyknit" running shoes equipped with a new sole technology.
The pod portion of the midsole divided into four sections.
The stylish visualization of technology is typical of Nike.

This work took 10 years from conception to completion. The midsole, which is divided into four pods to accommodate the foot's landing motion, contains thousands of beads made of a material called TPE, which is a blend of plastic and rubber. By dispersing the beads when the foot lands, the TPE material provides soft cushioning and resilience, while conforming to the shape of the user's foot and facilitating smooth foot movement.

In addition, the upper is made of Flyknit with excellent elasticity, and by eliminating the insole, the runner can directly feel the comfortable bead feeling as well as the outstanding fit. The versatility of the shoe is also appealing, as it can be used as a recovery shoe for elite runners, as well as for beginner runners who enjoy running rather than aiming for time.
In addition, the lineup of lifestyle models such as "Nike Joyride NSW" and "Nike Joyride NSW Setter" cannot be overlooked. It may be said that it is a remarkable sole technology that gives a sense of possibility to be greatly transformed as town use, not to mention as running shoes.
Finally, please take a look at the presentation held in Seoul, Korea, and the shoe review by Mr. Makino of the BEAMS Run Club, who actually attended the event.

Various events and exhibits featuring Nike Joyride innovations will also be held.
An innovative move by Nike to expand its territory in the midst of a solo run.
Four units filled with beads allow this versatile shoe to enjoy innovation at each ground contact point. Especially in the second fore part from the front, the elliptical unit thrusts up the sole comfortably and allows you to experience the movement of the beads.
The sole sensation changes when sitting, standing upright, and running, respectively. When weight is applied slowly, it slowly follows the sole of the foot, and when weight is applied momentarily, it does not sink in too deeply, but provides a good amount of cushioning and comfortable rebound. The flexible foot sensation that changes with the center of gravity is just like having a self-customizable insole.
This model is not equipped with an insole, so technically speaking, the midsole plays the role of a customized insole. The midsole will return to flat after a period of time after use, so I felt that this is a new proposal for running shoes, where the wearer can always enjoy fresh comfort, rather than the conventional idea of running shoes that you have to break them in.
As for running, as you can imagine from the visible rear unit with about 501 TP10T of beads in total, it is perfect for entry-level users of rear-foot running ( ≒ walking ), which is grounded from the heel, and for light exercisers.
However, this innovation is also effective in midfoot and forefoot running, which are common among advanced runners, and in particular, midfoot running, in which the entire sole of the foot is grounded, is the best way to enjoy the sensation of the sole. As the developer said that the Vaporfly is recommended for use in recovery runs and fun runs for elite runners who use the Vaporfly in races, I felt that this shoe is different from the Nike Free and is effective for running, contributing to adjustment while enjoying a comfortable sole sensation. Incidentally, the mileage is 450 miles, so you can be assured of durability.
Nike pursues innovation for performance, so it would be foolish to comment from a fashion point of view, but I can't help but have high expectations for the lifestyle development of this new system, which is also pleasing to the eye. Nike, a leader in the performance field, has made an innovative move to further expand its territory. We can only look forward to its future development.
