(II) Upper-related terms
counter-heel upper. It can often be seen in the heel of basketball shoes, which plays a role in providing additional support for the root of the foot. It is usually hidden between the lining of sneakers and the external material, but some sneakers have their heels and uppers designed on the outside.

(3) terms related to midsole and outsole
adiprene-the damping technology of adidas. AdiPRENE is an elastic material designed to provide the wearer with shock absorption when walking, and it is usually used in the heel part of shoes.
adiprene+a-didas's damping technology. AdiPRENE+is similar to adiPRENE technology, except that adiPRENE+is more flexible and is generally designed to provide better forefoot power.
air-air cushion. Nike's shock absorption technology is now applied to many different types of shoes. Air technology was invented by Marion Frank Rudy in 1984. Its technical principle is to compress pressurized gas into a "bag" made of polyurethane material, and the volume of these gas molecules is so large that they cannot pass through the polyurethane isolation layer. In 1997, Nike ended its monopoly on Air technology and allowed competitors to produce shoes based on Air shock absorption technology, which is why we can now see more air-cushion sports shoes of different brands in the market.
air, encapsulated-compressed air cushion. The air cushion is compressed into the midsole of the shoe and cannot be seen from the outsole.
Air,Max—— special gas is injected into a tough synthetic rubber in a high-pressure way, and the air cushion pressure is 5.1 psi, 2 psi and 25 psi respectively to form air chambers with different pressures, which can provide more shock absorption performance. Moreover, the sneakers based on Max Air technology usually use less materials based on foam rubber damping in the midsole, so the weight of sneakers can be reduced appropriately. Max Air is usually visible and is generally used in the forefoot and heel of shoes.
air, total-full sole air cushion. It is an upgraded version of Max Air, which is composed of several air cushions with different pounds. According to the pounds of air cushions required by various parts, it provides athletes with safer and more comfortable protection and shock absorption effects.
Air, Tuned—— evolved from Max Air, which is composed of several groups of semi-spheres made of polyurethane, which are placed opposite to each other, providing extra shock absorption performance for sports shoes in specific areas.
air, zoom-an advanced damping system based on Nike Air technology, which provides quick response and buffering performance closer to the ground. Zoom Air-sole unit consists of two layers of high-density nylon elastic fiber three-dimensional fabric sealed by polyurethane airbag. This combination makes the air cushion react quickly to disperse the pressure when it is strongly impacted, which is somewhat similar to trampoline. Zoom Air is often placed in the forefoot of basketball shoes, but it is also used in the heel in a few cases.
DMX——Reebok's damping technology, which combines air cushion damping technology with gas flow system. The fluidity of gas in the air cushion is realized by several interconnected air chambers. When subjected to impact force, the gas will quickly flow from the compressed air chamber to other air chambers, and then quickly return, so as to achieve the purpose of buffering.
ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA)-vinyl acetate fiber. A light and elastic chemical synthetic substance. Most manufacturers use EVA material in the manufacture of midsole of shoes.
flex grooves-curved grooves. Located in the forefoot, used to improve the curvature of the forefoot.
herringbone-herringbone. The texture of the zigzag pattern used in the outsole of sports shoes can provide good grip on the terrain.
Harmonix-and 1' s shock absorption technology, its principle is to use low pressure to fill the air bag wrapped with polyurethane skeleton structure. It is used to cooperate with And 1' s Springz geometry technology to provide a higher level of heel impact protection.
outsole-the outermost sole in contact with the ground.

phylon-a light and elastic cushioning mixture made of EVA foamed rubber compressed by heating. Phylon is a unique patented technology of Nike, which is usually used in the midsole of the forefoot, but sometimes it is also used in the entire midsole.
polyurethane (pu)-polyurethane. A high-density durable material based on foam rubber, which is often used in the midsole of the back palm.
Springz geometry-a dome-shaped midsole layer used at the heel to absorb the impact force in cooperation with the Harmonix damping system of And 1. When there is a downward force, it will force the dome to deform and absorb the impact force. When the downward force disappears, it can quickly return to its original state.
shank-insole. Hard strip, usually made of carbon fiber, pyroelectric plastic polyurethane rubber, wood and smooth leather, etc., is inserted between the outsole and insole of the middle palm. The function of the insole of basketball shoes is to provide additional midfoot support and keep the forefoot and hindfoot moving in unison.
shox-Nike's damping technology, is a cylindrical special sports component made of high-density polyurethane foam rubber. In the application of basketball shoes, its special design and structure can provide excellent stability and high-level impact protection.
torsion-torsion system. Adidas's stability technology, its design concept is to promote the natural and smooth rotation movement between the front and rear palms while providing the support of the middle palm
