if these trainers are it, I have none!
photographs Nike, behold the Nike x Hyperice collaboration that includes a
pair of high-top shoes that
use air compression to massage the feet and a vest that allows the wearer to
adjust their body temperature, but for myself why do the trainers look so ugly?
although
designed for athletes to help prepare their bodies for strenuous exercise and help
them decompress afterwards, anyone involved in other manual labour will benefit,
according to Nike's senior director of athlete innovation Tobie Hatfield,
the shoes are individually operated via buttons at the heel, "The footwear and vest that we've developed with
Hyperice help get the body ready for activity, whether you're playing for a
title or you're on your feet a lot at work," he said, apparently the boot
contains dual-air "bladders" that inflate and deflate to massage the
foot and ankle, making use of Hyperice's Normatec technology,
the power to operate the shoes is contained in a battery
pack in each insole, "Athlete testers report that their feet and ankles
feel freer and lighter – as if they've already completed their warm-up before
actually starting their usual routine," Nike said,
the matching vest was designed to help regulate body
temperature, it all seems a tad bizarre, back in my day,
running was like this, born in Harrow, England, Rodger Bannister the then
25-year-old Oxford University medical student was regarded as Britain’s best
middle-distance runner, after the 1952 Olympics in Helsinki in the following
months saw Bannister toying with the idea of giving up athletics, before he
decided to set himself a new goal of becoming the First man to run a mile in
under four minutes, a goal he achieved, and all it took to break records was a pair of spiked running shoes a pair of shorts and a vest! how times have changed!
