1.1 INTRODUCTION
This project is about the study on running shoes for world class championship. First the running shoe is particularly use in long-distance and also short distance running on hard and or uneven paths, streets or the like. The most famous shoes producers and brand for world championship shoes production are Nike, Adidas, Reebok, Puma, Converse, New balance, Fila, K-Swiss, Asics and others. All of this brands competing each other to produce the best and up to date shoes in order to gain the customers loyalty.Every shoes have three different sole which are sometime made up from different material to satisfy the customers. Of course every material have their own different function. The most important parts of running shoes are upper part of shoe, insole, midsole and outsole. According to Kenneth W. Graham, Edward J. Norton, and Shuhei Kurata(1985), the stabilizer supported by sole unit to surround upper within the region of the heel to provide support for the upper of the footwear. Armin A. Dassler (1983) said with an absorbs impacts outsole soft resilient material, which on its drive side a profile is made of wear-resistant material, with certain areas of the outsole are made for more flexible than the remaining sole areas. Armin A. Dassler (1983) also said that the character in that outsole regions of differing compliance only in the heel and possibly also in the joint are present, the arrangement being such that the heel and possibly the joint region with lesser compliance on the inside of the outsole starts and up to the maximum through the sole longitudinal axis extending the central plane of the running sole. So, what make materials and characteristics are important in this project will be sorted out for every ...

...ts. Those processes of making running shoes are supposed to be in order. Originally, shoes were made by hand before. but then the Traditional handicraft shoemaking has been largely replaced in volume of shoes produced by industrial mass production of footwear, but not necessarily in quality, attention to detail, or craftsmanship. Thus, in this project the technologies use for making the running shoes will be discussed.
The upper part, and sole part design attempts to maximize the factors of durability, stability, and flexibility while maintaining the lightest possible weight. Ronald C. Yonkers (1982) said, this is accomplished by relating the structural design of the outer sole to a load analysis at the interface between the sole and ground during running. In this project,we will discussed every possible way to overcome the problems and to fulfill the objectives.
Soccer are footwear which are worn for playing soccer. They play an integral part in a player’s performance. Modern day soccer cleats are far from the basic soccer cleats of the past. They involve different types of science and technology.
Sports Inc. has become a major player in the basketball shoe market. Our products are second to none; with ultra lightweight footwear designed to ensure player safety -- our athletes are just as happy as their loved ones. However, our profits have been stymied by our lack of product diversity, we’ve reached the mature stage in the basketball shoe PLC , and therefore, need to look into extending our product line into other sports. I propose we use our state-of-the-art shoe technology to breach the football cleat market. Football cleats may not be the exciting “new-to-the-world” product that makes a big splash, but I think it can be a source of great value to the company.The environment surrounding football is an interesting one and one that
Looking for that perfect shoe that has style, and yet at the same time is comfortable? If that’s the case then you are looking for a pair of Air Jordan brand shoes! They have been around for decades, and have consistently gaining more and more customers every day. The comfort they hold is one of the main reasons they are mostly found on people’s feet. Not only are the shoes worn, but some are so rare that they are collected by Air Jordan fanatics. Air Jordan’s are the best shoe ever, do to how comfortable they are, their popularity, and the story they have behind each shoe.
The blueprint of a Nike Shoe originates from the Nike Research Lab located at the Nike World Headquarters in Oregon. At the Nike Research Lab, researchers carry out various tests in biomechanics, physiology, sensory in order to customise the product to suit the best interest of the clients. In addition, various factors such as geography, age, gender are also taken into account in order to cater to appeal to the preferences and needs of different segments of the market. For example, according to the Lab, runners in the United States prefer hard surfaces while those in Europe prefer trails and thus this will affect the compositions of the footwear sold in different regions. The latest innovation of the Research Lab, the NikeFree Shoe enhanced overall athletic performance by stimulating the effect of running barefoot with added features which enabled the strengthening of muscles and lowering the risk of injuries.
In order to develop this prosthesis they had to go through two main phases, the analysis of a jogger wearing a standard walking prosthesis and computer simulation of the flexing of the knee on this walking prosthesis. They had to measure rotation, weight bearing, moments, and t...
Has anybody here ever walked into a shoe store looking for a running shoe? You were probably dazed and confused because there were just so many different brands and styles to choose from. Now a days, shoe stores stock their running sections with different brands and styles. If you are one of those people who has not been shoe shopping in years, then prepared to be shocked. Technology and designs of running shoes have changed drastically. Running shoes are better than ever now, due to these changes. Also, with all the different name brands such as Asics, Brooks, New Balance, Nike and others, you can assure yourself your are paying for a quality product.
An extensive research study will be initiated determining what the male customers want in an athletic shoe. These studies will take place online, by ground mail, and by telephone. Once the information is gathered the various types of men's shoes will then be developed focusing on the most popular needs determined by the survey results, which will include a question regarding price. L.A. Gear will then compare the needs of the customers to the industry leaders and determine how the leaders achieved the needs of the male customers and what opportunities L.A. Gear could use to "one up" the competition. L.A. Gear's shoes already focus on comfort, style, and fashion and will now include high performance.
1. Is the international market arena in which your athletic footwear company competes characterized by multicountry competition or global competition? Explain why.
From running marathons to getting the mail and everything in between crocs are the only shoe you will ever need. You might say running marathons, no way, but yes it has been done. Benjamin Pachev finished 16th in a half marathon wearing crocs. Not only did he wear crocs during the race but he also trained in crocs. Benjamin and his dad chose crocs because they were a lot less expensive than running shoes and much more durable.
This project concentrates on the Nike Sports shoe; Nike is one of most significant shoe manufacturing company worldwide. Sportswear manufactured by Nike is known for quality and is most liked brand of athletes. (Daniel, 2011)
Nike is known for its quality products, and this quality is reflected in its products consistent appearance on lists of top sports product reviews. If you are looking to outfit yourself with golf apparel that fits properly, moves, and breathes, then you should try on Nike golf apparel. Because Nike is such a popular brand you should be able to find Nike lines in just about any city. When shopping for women's golf apparel you need to select items that have the proper fit. Try not to shop merely by size.
Shoes are not only worn to protect the human feet. They are also worn because they add the final touch to the style you are trying to create. The history of shoes is very long and nobody really knows when the first shoes were created but we do know that they were originally made to warm the feet. Now, there are many different types and each kind helps you function a different way. The shoe is also made up of many parts and every kind of shoe has different parts then other types. Year by year, shoes have been improving and becoming more and more popular. Now, we have all the equipment and all the materials we need to make the shoe better than ever.
Shoes have always been something that women want to go shopping for. Over the latter part of this century, it has become more likely for women to buy many shoes because of the growing diversity of shoe fashion. Shoe manufacturers have taken advantage of this growing diversity to create as many types of shoes as they can. Ladies shoes can be classified into three categories: cheap shoes, moderately priced shoes, and expensive shoes.
In reviewing the case of New Balance Athletic Shoe, Inc. it is clear that there are a few major problems that the company is facing. First of all, New Balance falls behind its other major competitors, Nike, Adidas and Reebok, in the area of marketing. Unlike its competitors, New Balance does not undertake celebrity endorsements. This puts them at a disadvantage when it comes to brand building. This also causes the company to lose out somewhat on gaining awareness on a global scale as it lacks endorsements in major sporting events. Most global brand names generate strong brand recognition through celebrity endorsements in sporting events that would give them the needed momentum to carry their brand name further into the global market.
Athletic shoes are worn by many people of different sex, age, and size. Athletic shoes are something that is very comfortable to wear and have give people’s feet the right support. Athletic shoes also help people perform different activities better and at ease, an example is running shoes. Running shoes help people perform the activity of running better. People who do sports such as track wear running shoes so that they can get the right boost from their feet when running and to be able to run for a long amount of time without their foot getting a cramp or their soles not cooperating well with the track. Football and baseball players wear athletic shoes called cleats so that they can get the right amount of traction on the field when their running so that they don’t slip and fall on the slippery
