News from China Daily Website,
Adidas that has been upholding the philosophy of "designing shoes for feet
in sport" recently unveiled an eye-catching new product, the first pair
of intelligent shoes in the world that embodies computer chips to facilitate
the feet for sport. Adidas opened its laboratory to journalists from all over
the world on May 6 and explained in detail the secret of the shoes.
"This is the first
intelligent shoe ever," said Erich Stamminger, global marketing director
for Adidas. "It senses (your sport performance), understands (your need
for sport), and adapts."
Mechanism of the intelligent
shoes is like this: the chip is positioned in the arched vamp, composed of a
tiny screw and electronic system. The system can adjust the cushioning in the
heels according to signs sent by the electric sensor that is connected to the
magnet, thus reduce shake and pressure during sports.
