Yes, it’s a great cushioning system. To create this, Adidas partnered with big name chemical engineering company, BASF, to create capsules from a unique material that can store and release energy. Not only does it absorb shock, but it springs your feet upwards, so you can get more energy in your stride.
A cushioning system is so important because it is the connection between you and the ground. When you run, your body weight hits the ground at up to eight times your actual weight. Without a good cushioning system to absorb some of this shock, you can inflict long-term negative effects on your feet, ankles, knees, tendons, and bones.
