The Pursuit of Higher Stability and Lower Production Cost Encourages Lunar
Although Lunarlite Foam Technology have many advantages, we should also pay much attention to its disadvantages. Problems could be solved under a full study of its original causes. The pursuit of perfection is never stop, let's do our best to improve the Lunar. Lunar technology will develop itself to become the air cushion shoes milestone.
A new foamed damping technology-Lunarlite Foam was released in the year of 2008. This is an excellent shock absorption technology lighter than others in the Nike's development history. Many brands in this area have their special science and technology so as foam cushioning is not a new invention. Composed of the shoes bottom,
the science and technology is made of the traditional foaming materials, in order to improve the foam hole to make the shoes fine.
Fire makes sweet malt-someone use 36 years to study a kind of science and technology. The successful development of Lunarlite Foam NASA and Nike spent 36 years. Before Lunarlite Foam applied in the sports shoes mass production, the engineering designers spent almost their half life time to solve this kind of material and the inherent problems. The problems are as followed: it was born in NASA's lab, expensive, and can hardly be mass production, and the performance of this material will decline when exposed in light, air and water, therefore it must be included in another material. The worst thing is that it is easy to shrink. Once being blown into the foam, it must be frozen to prevent deformation. The material becomes more stable and easier to find Phylon-the right wrapped foam material, which is Nike's most commonly used bottom material after the engineers readjusted its organic formula. In May, 2008, Lunarlite Foam debut, showed the race running shoes-Lunar Racer. And in 2009, followed by the listed Lunarglide, this technology was being familiar by more consumers.
A flattering evaluation, "feel like walking on the moon" was gained by Lunar. In the minds of consumers, the ultimate sports shoes must have the following properties: excellent shock absorption, high stability and sufficient light weight. The characteristics of stability and damping effect will always disappear if light acts as the main feature of the sports shoes. As the enemy of durability, lightweight can make the extreme lightweight shoes be quickly forgot by people. The function of Lunarlite Foam is to make the shoes wear more lightweight and elasticity. After tried on the LunarGlide sample shoes, athletes said they can not help themselves to run out when wearing them.
It's a very complex structure when the shoes working. Compared with the ordinary EVA and Phylon, the Lunar technology has a more soft foot feeling ,with excellent elasticity and light weight under its low density. But this material must be isolated with water, air and light. In view of this, the designers use two ways to maintain the stability of the material. First, we will talk about the Phylon, which is used to wrap the Lunarlite foam shell. The shell is designed into a layer fold shape, to reduce capacity loss when the foot touches the ground and to alleviate the harmful impact. With the help of the unique Dynamic Supporting System, Lunar running shoes can adapt to the runners different foot situation.
The spirit of the pursuit of higher stability and lower production cost encourages Lunar to change itself. It is unknown when the Lunarlite technology started to disappear in Nike shoes and at the same time, the Lunar Technology shoes also start to fallen. According to the Nike designer, the lunar production cost is too expensive, mass production becomes very difficult. At the same time, Lunarlite materials will unavoidable depredated in practical use over time. In this respect, the designer soon found method that makes Lunarlite better. The method is to joined Phylon formula together with the lunar foam. This not only reduces the lunar sports shoes cost, but also greatly increase the lunar material's stability and durability, which is today's Lunarlon technology.
Lunar is an excellent technology, it will continue to develop, and become another milestone in the development history of air cushion shoes.
