NIKE AIR ZOOM BB NXT with two ZOOM PODS cushions and three-layer REACT cushioning foam has become the focus of attention recently. The ultra-thick ZOOM PODS cushions and the three-layer REACT luxurious midsole What is the configuration and internal structure? Let's take a closer look with our dismantling.
NIKE AIR ZOOM BB NXT EP
In order not to cut the air cushion of the forefoot, the editors worked hard to obtain a clear longitudinal section. After some preparations, we finally cut perfectly
through the side section to see the forefoot ZOOM PODS air cushion. The three layers of REACT are on the white midsole cloth. The REACT insole and the two-layer REACT midsole under the white midsole cloth. There is a midsole stabilizer between the two midsoles, plus the super-high finished front warp
The midsole is separated, and the old rules are not explained.
The shoe tongue is tightly attached to the upper with hot pressing technology to reduce the discomfort caused by the stitching
The two shoelace holes at the forefront use rib-like shoelace loops, which can improve the wrapping after tightening
Cup-shaped insoles, surrounded by all sides, firmly lock the feet, 0.25 *4 means there is still enough physical strength after playing the game
double-layer midsole, the upper surface material is EVA
Product information is printed on the non-woven fabric
The upper midsole has eight punching holes, which are used to provide more energy absorption and cushioning when under force.
Remove the upper midsole. It is intuitive to see that two ZOOM PODS are placed horizontally under the force point of the metatarsal
From this point of view, the two ZOOM PODS air cushions are not in contact with each other, but are embedded in the REACT cushion. In the shock foam, the midsole material is wrapped in 360 degrees, which can reduce the displacement generated when the ZOOM PODS cushion is impacted.
The width of the ZOOM PODS cushion is about 53.20 mm
The thickness of the ZOOM PODS air cushion is about 16.88 mm. The thickness of more than 16 mm is quite considerable. It is very rare in team shoes.
The appearance of this TPU on the outside of the forefoot is usually accompanied by a woven upper. the Lord The main function is to control the excessive displacement of the woven upper. This style can also wrap the ZOOM PODS air cushion to reduce energy loss.
The midsole stabilizer is placed in the double REACT cushioning foam In the middle of the cotton, covering the entire arch position
The 42-yard midsole stabilizer is about 104.05 mm long
The 42-yard midsole stabilizer is about 47.87 mm wide
42 size midsole stabilizer center line thickness is about 4.57 mm
ZOOM PODS cushion, midsole stabilizer and REACT cushioning foam, the joints are added The mesh interlining cloth exists above the air cushion, and under the stabilizer, the head of the stabilizer is covered by the mesh interlining
A small detail was also found through disassembly. The REACT cushioning foam at the heel is not simply flat-bonded, but a similar "step"-like structure
This angle looks more intuitive. This design is to make the double-layer midsole better fit together and improve the stability of the midsole.
The outer bottom water ripple pattern, Enhance multi-directional grip, large groove design movement and bending more flexible, like a strange face
42-yard keel data: forefoot (midsole + outsole thickness) about 25.93 Mm
The back sole (midsole + outsole) is about 32.39 mm, the keel drop is about 6.46 mm, and the keel drop of about 7 mm (plus or minus 1) is consistent with the usual characteristics of the team shoes
ZOOM BB NXT midsole technology overview
42 size keel data front 26mm, back 33mm, including the 6mm insole, the ground height reaches 40mm. Previously, the highest actual basketball shoe keel data was James 17th. The impression was that the heel was about 30 mm. ZOOM BB NXT has broken through the limit of basketball shoe keel data. We use LBJ17 to compare with ZOOM BB NXT.
LEBRON XVII
James, with super physical fitness, in the 17th generation signature basketball shoes, the keel data is about 20 mm for the forefoot and 31 for the back Mm (midsole + outsole without insole).
AIR ZOOM BB NXT
The ZOOM BB NXT of 26mm in the front and 33mm in the back, the keel data has broken through the limit of traditional basketball shoes, plus more than traditional EVA. The softer REACT cushioning foam in the midsole and the heel stability are indeed worrying.
Disassembly report
Upper: The upper is made of fabric, which is soft and breathable, with dot matrix printing on key parts for reinforcement. The tongue of the shoe is tightly attached to the upper by using the hot pressing technology to reduce the discomfort caused by the stitching.
Midsole: Two ZOOM PODS air cushions on the forefoot, three-layer REACT cushioning foam is quite powerful in cushioning and energy absorption. With the common toe toe tilted forward in rear shoes, it brings stronger rolling. The keel drop of about 7 mm is consistent with the usual characteristics of team shoes, but the excessively high keel data refreshes the upper limit of the data of traditional basketball shoes.
Summary: Two ZOOM PODS air cushions + three-layer REACT NIKE AIR ZOOM BB NXT, the configuration is quite bold. The appearance also breaks the shackles of traditional basketball shoes and is extremely innovative. When wearing, you can clearly feel the super cushioning and good energy feedback brought by the forefoot ZOOM PODS air cushion. The ultra-high keel data breaks the data limit of traditional basketball shoes. As a basketball shoe, a too high center of gravity and a too soft midsole will cause the heel to deform too much when the intense lateral force is exerted in basketball, which will add extra burden to the ankle and may bring certain sports risks. .
Thousands of people and thousands of feet. Finally, I suggest you go to the physical store to try on. Welcome to tell us about your wearing experience.
