AN INSIGHT IN THE KNITTED WORLD (part 1)


The leaders in 2012

How NIKE introduced their FLY KNIT
Did you ever imagine yarn being an high tech design material? Nike Flyknit is an extraordinary new technology to create running footwear by knitting yarns. The idea was to create a shoe whit the characteristics of a sock, that is comfortable fit and light weight but, at the same time they want to guarantee Nike high performance standards. So they enginereed an extra-light polyester yarn in a knitted seamless structure, with different density layers giving specific elasticity levels to obtain a featherweight, formfitting upper.
As Nike stated “The result is precision engineering in its purest form, performance on display. Every element has a purpose: resulting in one of the lightest, best fitting running shoes NIKE has ever made.”
How ADIDAS introduced their PRIME KNIT

The adiZero Primeknit hosts uppers constructed from a seamless engineered technology that were digitally knitted together, providing a flexible, lightweight performance shoe. A first for the brand, the release is limited to 2012 individually numbered pairs, all of which come in a box that features an innovative articulated opening.
