Running shoes with Nike's new cushioning-joyride run

I don't know if it's a shoe story.

Nike has released a new cushioned running shoe called Joyride. More than 10,000 highly responsive cushioning materials (thermoplastic elastomers) named `` Beads '' provide cushioning and support to the movement of your feet. Looks like nothing different from In fact, the big frame is the same in terms of characteristics and composition of the material. Furthermore, the structural idea of ​​'squeeze a small cushioning material in the form of a resilient capsule under your feet' is similar in concept to Adidas Boost.

To avoid criticism of similar products, Nike Joyride insists that it is functionally different from Puma by placing a very thin insole directly above the beads for a more direct effect. However, Nike's foot is also placed on the cage that holds the beads, so there is a partition between the feet and the beads. It's hard to get bead cushioning in the perfect shape, just like putting your feet on the sand. In the end, I think the difference in the actual cushioning that comes from the difference between the structure of the insole and midsole cage between the beads cushioning and the feet is a fifty-thousand-dollar backbone.

When I wear it myself, the feeling is not bad. It's fresh and surprisingly familiar. The repulsive force felt under my feet seems to be the best among Nike's foam type cushioning. I feel pretty dense and plump. It feels more solid than cushioning like Lunaron or React, which is a bit loose, or Cushion, which was too soft. There's a comment that the quarter-shaped bead cage feels unnatural when you move your feet. The insole is so thin that it feels naked under your feet.

In terms of cushioning, I think it can be used for a full-fledged performance running shoe, but first of all, this shoe is positioned for training or daily exercise rather than performance. Both are similar cushioning pursuits of repulsion, and Nike and Puma are casual or fancy, and Adidas is pursuing a full-fledged performance, but small balls are filled with midsoles. We think that you should be easy to bet. If you look at the shape of the outsole or the upper, it's definitely not a shape to run properly.

The price is quite high at 199,000. In terms of price, it seems to put it as a higher grade product than React line newly introduced just a while ago. It's expensive compared to traditional performance running shoes like Pegasus and Baumero. Of course, as a running shoe, performance cannot be guaranteed. But you can't swear these shoes are too expensive for their performance. You can't judge these shoes simply by looking at them.

The upper is made of thin neoprene on the inner side, and the outer side and toe box are wrapped around the fly knit, and the entire upper goes back to form the inner bootie. The feet are quite narrow so most of them need to be worn at least half size. Even in the ball grooves, the ball is narrow, so I'm sending you a message, so you can guess how narrow the ball is. I also wore half size large enough to wear.

The outsole's clear window looks like beads are divided into three zones, but one bead cage is hidden in the arch. It is sure to feel cushioning all over the sole.

Anyway, I want to run it right now, but I don't like the color, so I will refund and wear the next model.

This is adidas UltraBoost 19 that I purchased a while ago. It's an improved version of the existing UltraBoost, but I've bought a new UltraBoost outsole that seems to be in storage mode. At first glance, the boost midsole height is significantly higher than the previous model. A dual density boost with different inner and outer densities was used, but apparently the density was not distinguished. I've tried it, but the inner rigidity doesn't seem strong enough to stabilize.
