Air-Sole cushion: The original NIKE air cushion was formed under a high pressure, by pouring the air gas into a resilient synthetic rubber layer thus making the air cushion. Air-Sole was a "mean" air cushion, which had a balanced performance in the cushioning ability, stability performance and reaction speed performance. And this technology is widely used in a variety of sports shoes even today.
Cheap Air Jordans Retro,from its name we can got that this was a visible air sole, the hind paw of the AIR JORDAN 3 was the best example. Being regarded as the transitional form between Air-Sole and Max Air, Visible 180 Air-Sole can perform a good damping force and a perfect visible impact.
The early Air Max was launched in the year of 1994, which appeared as the shape like the U-shaped, and changed into multi-sealed chamber Air Max and the trachea-shaped Tube Max Air. It had a multi-interval, multiple pressures, low pressure zone pressure 5PSI, high-pressure zone pressure 25PSI. Air Max cushioning ability was very strong, can provide appropriateness protection to your feet and your knees, but may cause the loss of machine power. This air cushion was widely used in various types of running shoes and basketball shoes.
Zoom Air: An air cushion with its thickness of only 4-8mm, fixed with the three-dimensional fabric to maintain its flat shape (otherwise may "from the drum into a ball"), atmospheric pressure 20PSI. Zoom Air was widely used in the outside basketball shoes (such as FLIGHT series, the AJ series), and speed running shoes (such as Air zoom Miler), because of its good damping performance, sensitive basketball court sense and sensitive rebound effect. Visible Zoom Air: The external visible Zoom Air was with greater capacity and better cushioning performance.
The Tuned Air: An integrated cushioning contained a hemisphere-shaped cushioning system to provide maximum force protection, stable and comfortable foot feeling, and its hemispheric body deformation can provide a changing air pressure. TN Air contained the PBAX thermoplastic material which can provide a fast reflection, rubbing, and lightweight, flexible and suitable feet feeling for the appropriate thickness characteristics, its hemispheric body pressure was 20PSI and the cushion pressure was 5PSI.
The Total Air cushion can be seen as the enlarged version of the Max Air, with its forefoot grow to 1.5 cm. The most successful Total Air Cushion was the Total Air Foamposite Max-Steel.
The mid-sole mechanical cushioning system was composed by the special highly elastic foam materials (advanced PU materials) damping elastic column, and double TPU trays. The SHOX may have different functions when applied in basketball shoes and the running shoes. The SHOX cushion (people who are under 70kg are not obvious) provided excellent cushioning effect and stability, which was widely use in all kinds of sports shoes. IMPAX was the SHOX simplified version, which did not adopt the columnar bottom, and as an alternative, the horizontal punch technology was being used to achieve the effect of damping and stability.
Nike developed IPS system which an provide relatively independent and organic complexes cylindrical shock absorber for the research and development of Air Jordan XX shoes, under the help of 20 pieces Phylon material with different density, thicknessArticle Search, size and location.
