The shoe companies have been trying to come up with a faster shoe for ages.
From what I can tell scientists are in agreement this technology with its lever or spring like effect (not sure how to describe it) is superior and the concept doesn't seem that complicated. (Maybe it is complicated because I can't explain it).
My question is how come no one thought of this previously?
Was everyone else obsessed with foams and what not and Nike thought of changing the angle of the shoe? Or was this only possible once foams got super light?
