"The idea is easier said than done, it is difficult .Air Max 180 Air Max series is one of the hardest sports shoes make shoes," Flanders recalls.At that time,Cheap Nike Air Max 2015, Air Max 180, and Air Max 90 are placed in the forefoot Air-Sole unit. But are completely sealed, is invisible. As people have no running sneakers foam material requirements increase, a significant finding emerged. Appears a new Air-Sole fabrication method is called the blow molding.
The technology was first applied in Air Max 93, Air-Soles so without relying on pressure case, 3D shape. This means that you can bend Air-Soles molding according to the forefoot sneakers. Air Max 95 full advantage of this innovation, which includes two separate blow molding Air-Sole unit in the forefoot is the first use of air cushion design visualization.
1997, in full support of the production, development and design work, how make the whole palm Air-Sole password was cracked. The first is the creation of a heel and forefoot unit interrelated. The next task is how to Douzhu long enough to melt the film, thus closing a three-dimensional model of the whole palm length. After several prototypes and after a leap, Air Max 97 was born.
After a full charge of air cushion decryption, the idea seems to be on an endless stream of air cushion. Nike began working other cushioning forms, one of which is Tuned Air. The air cushioning innovative technology was first used in 1999's Air Max Plus, and is used to strengthen the Nike Max Air cushioning stability.
The next innovation is to form in 2006 after the Air Max 360, it is ultimately the first Air Max was born almost 20 years to achieve a completely non-foamed materials produced Air Max sneakers goal. To make the Air Max 360, Flanders team Caged Air technology to replace the use of foam as a stabilizer.
To achieve the elimination of the whole palm of foam does not mean the end of the evolution of Air Max. Nike realized the dream, but can not resist the temptation of how to improve the product. To further, Flanders and his team to shift the focus from the elimination of the foam material to increase flexibility. Tube structure adopted in the Nike Air Max Form China of Air-Soles built in deep flex grooves, the final completion of the most flexible Max Air cushioning cushion.
After a long journey in the future, Flanders did not understand the risks, there is no innovation.
"I remember the first blow molding of Air-Sole unit. We strive for a long time, I do not know whether people will accept it," Flanders said. "Do you remember when the first Air Max sneakers issue for me. I was called to a lab technician at an airport, I saw someone wearing a pair of Air Max walked by. I looked at him in the phone booth, say 'Someone bought. I saw people wearing' the greater the risk, the greater the harvest. For Air Max, it from here. "
David Flanders joined Nike in 1985. After 28 years, Flanders witnessed the research and development of Air Max series, and all related work with Nike Air.
