The Speed Gambit
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
When it comes to track and field, “fast” takes on a number of definitions. It can mean sprinting 100 meters in 10.70 seconds or covering 10,000 meters in a medal-winning 27:30.42. Ahead of the summer, #nike footwear designers tasked themselves with not only outfitting but also accelerating athletes across this entire gamut.
So they started with science on the sprint-side of the spectrum, which says that to make a sprinter, like three-time 100-meter World Champion and two-time gold-medalist Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, faster through a shoe you have to stiffen the sole. Imagine a baseball bat: the longer that bat, the harder you can hit the ball. It’s all about force transfer. The idea of making a spike plate stiffer is the same: It increases the foot’s ability to drive propulsive force into the ground — the key component of speed.
But stiffness is only part of the solution; the shoe must also be light. Cutting-edge computational design tools and speedy 3D-printed prototyping led the team to the ideal balance of requirements and steered the creation of the Nike Superfly Elite spike, which propelled Fraser-Pryce down the track .013 seconds faster, a gap that could mean the difference between first and fourth place.
To meet their greater “fast” directive, the team looked to extend the Superfly Elite plate innovation across all track and field footwear, noting that as event distances go up, speed becomes less about stiffness and more about endurance, which places cushioning at the fore. The same push and pull applies to the upper: while the 100 and 200 meters require maximum containment, longer distances necessitate more breathability. The upshot: Each shoe is more than the sum of its parts; it’s a cohesive acceleration system.
