According to Japanese media reports, the company held its first hairstyle for running shoes specially made by 5 runners, including Noguchi Mizuki, who are expected to defend the women's marathon at the Beijing Olympic Games. According to a report published by the Sankei News on the 17th, this is a running shoe developed by a Japanese manufacturer for a prospective marathon runner and adapted to Beijing conditions.

This kind of shoes is lighter, and can prevent the sand and dust peculiar to China from entering the shoes, which is also a secret weapon for women marathon runners who are most likely to achieve the goal of "obtaining two medals (including one gold medal)" in the Japanese track and field field.

There is only one section of the competition route in Beijing that fluctuates greatly, and the rest is relatively flat. In addition to the sharp changes in the road width, the uneven hardness of the road also increases the burden on the feet. Therefore, although the sole with the past three layers of structure is convenient for players to play, it will burden the feet under the road conditions in Beijing. In order to reduce fatigue, the newly developed 2-layer sponge material of "light weight and high elasticity" is specially used in the running shoes launched this time. In addition, in order to improve the stability when landing, the thickness of the sole is controlled at 2-3 mm. In order to prevent the entry of small particles such as atmospheric pollutants and dust, woven mesh materials with small mesh are also used at the upper. ???

According to the developer, because the mesh is tightly woven, "the air permeability may not be as good as that of the sports shoes used in the Athens Olympic Games, but because of the use of materials that are more sweat absorbing and easy to dry than before, they are more soft and comfortable to wear". For Noguchi's specially made running shoes, the weight of one shoe was reduced by 13 grams at most, which can help her save 5% of calories in the 42.195 km race.

As for Noguchi, who is looking forward to defending her title, the staff who had tested her foot shape and left and right center of gravity in early July promised that the new shoes will keep her feet in the best condition so far. In addition to Noguchi Mizuki, Tu Sasaki, Yorika Nakamura, and men's players Sato Dunzhi and Osaki Ozaki will also get this new type of running shoes.
