All about Nike Joyride – the latest Nike buffer

As a brand new technology from Nike and is expected to be a phenomenon in the near future, Joyride (or Nike Joyride) is currently attracting the attention of the sneakerhead community around the world.

As a completely new technology introduced by Nike to users, Nike Joyride is the latest buffer to join the “the swoosh” family, standing next to the big names like Air Max, Zoom and the latest React. . According to a Nike representative, it took the company nearly 10 years to develop and release the Joyride, and now it has been applied to some of the new “the swoosh” running shoes. The newest shoes are now copeable for $ 180 USD (more than 4 million VND).

What matters most, though, is what Joyride is. Because a technology that takes Nike 10 years is clearly not simple. Not to mention that the first images showed it was composed of many interesting tiny particles. Many opinions also suggest that Puma once launched a shoe with the same technology. So how bad is it, and specifically how the Nike Joyride works, let’s find out today.

The first shoe Nike introduced to the market was called the Nike Joyride Run FK (FK stands for Flyknit) and it sold for $ 180. Clearly this continues to be another Nike effort to develop mass-market running shoes that are both comfortable and comfortable. Structurally, the Joyride buffer has 4 evenly spilled pockets from heel to toe. In total, there are about 8000 to 10000 glossy beads made of TPE (a compound of plastic and rubber), extremely elastic. Of the more than 8,000 shiny beads, 50% were placed under the heel, 5% were placed under the nose, and the remainder evenly distributed in the middle.

Additionally, another advantage of Nike Joyride is that all glossy particles are elastic, thereby providing multi-dimensional feedback to help support better motion, consistent with more sports and especially smoother. However, Nike doesn’t offer a comparison of whether Joyride is bouncing more than Zoom, Zoom Air, Air Max or React. Obviously, if so, the user will be easier to imagine.

Buffer by PUMA Jamming

Shortly after its launch, many sneakerheads immediately compared Nike Joyride to Puma Jamming, a shoe with almost similar technology. However, although the two shoes are essentially TPE ball beads, Nike is still different from Puma Jamming. Firstly, the balloon particles are distributed into 4 different pockets, not a solid piece from nose to heel like Puma Jamming. That also leads to a second difference, as the rubber frame used to cover these glossy bags is most likely constructed from React technology, or the previous Lunarlon increases elasticity and strength. for product. Not to mention that the glossy particles of Nike and Puma can be structured differently in size, material…. As such, it cannot be concluded that Nike stole or imitated PUMA.

Preliminary reviews and compliments have also been many, and now there are certain minus points for Nike Joyride. Actually, it’s not really a minus point because ad has never been brought. However, with such structure, it is likely that a new product of “the swoosh” will suffer from some of the following shortcomings:

• Durability: No one is sure what the strength of each ball is. Especially when faced with the constant practice and friction between thousands of ball particles.
• On the environment: The production of thousands of such plastic beads inevitably leads to a large amount of waste being released into the environment. That is not to mention in the future, when the user is finished using and the particles fall into the environment, the harm will be extremely serious.
• Copyright: Puma Jamming was basically the one who came up with this concept first; And we have to wait and see to know who wins and who loses in this match

In short, Nike Joyride is Nike’s latest buffer technology and promises to make headlines in the near future. Currently, Joyride has appeared on a trio of shoes, including the Nike Joyride Run FK, Nike Joyride NSW and Nike Joyride NSW Setter.
