Nike Introduces the Cosmic Runner: Revolutionizing Running for the Next Generation

Nike is redefining running for the next generation with the Cosmic Runner, a silhouette made just for kids, powering their pursuits in sport and play.

The world is a kid’s racetrack, and the Cosmic Runner is designed to inspire youth to try their best and have fun in a shoe that provides kid-right durability, supportive cushioning and all-day comfort — not to mention a modern, standout style.

The Cosmic Runner gives kids of all ages a superhero feeling, fueling their rebellious spirit and making every step feel like a leap toward greatness.

“The Cosmic Runner introduces technology that we’ve never used in kids’ running footwear before,” says Cal Dowers, VP, Global Kids. “We are committed to bringing innovation, combined with comfort and durability, that keeps kids playing, running and dreaming big.”

The Cosmic Runner is designed to be ultra-durable, flexible and comfortable for every stride, appealing to both young runners and kids looking to move with confidence from one activity to the next. The silhouette features a reinforced toe-tip and full rubber outsole that incorporate Nike Grind, a pull tab that makes it easy to step into and a one-piece upper that eliminates seams, delivering added comfort.

Preschool and toddler sizes feature subtle design changes, such as adjusted patterns and elastic laces for easy entry, helping younger kids experience the joy of running throughout their day, from the playground to their own backyard.

The silhouette also brings forward a futuristic and playful style that draws inspiration from kids’ articulation of robots, resulting in a bold design and minimalist construction.

Further, the performance and style of the Cosmic Runner underscores Nike’s commitment to serving runners of all ages, abilities and intensities: inspiring them on every step of their athletic journey and delivering a drumbeat of running innovation that supports their pursuit of greatness.

The Cosmic Runner will be available globally in a full run of kids’ sizing, from babies to big kids, at nike.com and select retail locations November 1.

As technology continues to advance, new and innovative ways of advertising are emerging. One of the most promising developments in recent years is virtual reality (VR) advertising. VR allows businesses to create immersive and interactive experiences that engage customers on a whole new level. In this blog, we’ll explore the potential of virtual reality in advertising, how businesses can incorporate it into their advertising strategies, and the benefits and challenges of using VR advertising.

An Introduction to Virtual Reality Advertising

Virtual reality advertising is the use of VR technology to create advertising experiences that immerse customers in a virtual environment. These experiences can be anything from virtual product demonstrations to interactive branded games. The goal is to create a unique and memorable experience that leaves a lasting impression on customers.

How to Incorporate VR into Your Advertising Strategy

To incorporate VR into your advertising strategy, you’ll need to start by identifying your goals and target audience. What type of engagement are you going to create? Who is your intended audience, and what type of content will resonate with them? Once you have a clear idea of what you want to achieve, you can start creating your VR content.

This has an automatic link with our brand as its quite expensive.

They have also created a way to make alternative leather which is very sustainable as they are using natural resources. below it mentions that some of the leather they have created have been grape leather in wine production, grape skins, stalks, and seeds are discarded. These are then dried out and pulverised into a powder that is combined within-toxic chemicals and oils to produce leather. The thought and process that has gone into this product is amazing because they have wanted to change the way materials are being made.

innovate technology. 

The following innovate technologies we then investigated into 3D digital clothing collection, Augmented pattern - mission to reducing waste, blockchain technology.

innovate designs.

Artificial intelligence fashion design and 3D printed fashion. Acne Studios uses AI technology alongside generative artist Robbie Barrat to design and manufacture a fashion range.

When talking about 3D printed fashion they spoke about the positives and negatives. the positives being custom designed clothing this would help in a variety of ways as customer will receive exactly what they are looking for. It would be environmentally friendly as it would reduce waste, use of water and dyes. increased speed to market and supply chain, garments and footwear can be printed within 24 hours. However, the negatives would be there will be a huge loss of manufacturing jobs, file privacy would also be a problem etc.

Dior has created 3D printed shoes made from Thermoplastic Polyurethane which is biodegradable TPU and is much more environmentally friendly than alternatives such as PVC.

Walk Free With Lechal

A product of Ducere Technologies, Lechal is India’s first GPS navigation and fitness tracking wearable technology. Ducere technologies had been at work trying to develop what was initially a technology that assists visually impaired people. Later this technology performed so well that it was conceptualized as a navigation guide for anyone and everyone. As world’s first haptic footwear, Lechal has a design based on touch-technology to function. The shoe connects to its app via Bluetooth and vibrates in left or right foot to guide the user. Lechal is available in the form of insoles that you can slide into any pair of shoes. Lechal navigation can also be done in the offline mode, while there is no internet connection in your phone. In a situation when your phone is not with you, the pods in the insoles gather and save all the information and transfer them to your phone when it is in vicinity of the pods. The product is all about user convenience in least number of moves. For instance, Lechal allows the wearer to modify routes on the map and tag favourite locations with a tap of the shoe and share them with others or link up routes of their friends. Once a location is tagged, it gets stored in the pod memory and the pod will buzz every time you revisit one of the tagged places. At the heart of Lechal is a pair of highly advanced pods. Once snapped into either the insoles or buckles, these pods connect to app, and your footwear becomes your personal guide that is ready to take you through the world. Lechal also carries in it the option of using voice commands and a very interactive nature that enables you to share locations with other users. Features   Lechal has a battery life of well over 15 days. Fifteen days of battery life means they’re rarely shackled to a charger. The pods work offline as well, so that you do notneed internet to access the map of a new place. Lechal ensures complete hands-free and heads-up navigation. The haptic vibrations ensure a detailed communication with the wearer. Besides navigation, Lechal allows you to track your fitness with precision by using pedometer, measuring steps taken, calories burnt, distance travelled, and much more. There is an option of using these pods in trim-to-fit insoles or lacing them up onto your shoelaces with Lechal buckles. Lechal has made an important move in the world of electronic navigation by making it serve us hands free and eyes free. Initially designed for the visually challenged, Lechal is highly advanced in its intuitive bearings, and is successful in guiding people across hikes, excursions, commutes, and drives. Click to Post

Nike Air Max Dn

What if you fully reimagine an icon? Not just tinker with a few changes, but dream, develop and debut a completely new paradigm for how a seminal footwear silhouette looks and feels underfoot.

Bold and sleek, the Nike Air Max Dn marks a new generation in the footwear cushioning revolution that Nike began more than three decades ago, arriving with a reimagined platform for self-expression — and what it feels like to walk on Air. 

Nike’s innovation, design, engineering and research teams were fixated on creating a shoe with an incomparable look and feel. The solution is the development of Dynamic Air.

Appearing for the first time in the Nike Air Max Dn, Dynamic Air is realized in a new dual-chamber, four-tubed Nike Air unit designed for unreal comfort, a smooth stride and max bounce. The dual-pressure air unit is comprised of two pressurized chambers, each with two tubes. The two chambers are specifically tuned with higher pressure in the back two tubes (15 psi) and lower pressure in the front two tubes (5 psi). As you move, air freely flows between the tubes in each chamber. This setup allows air to respond to the pressure as you move, delivering a smooth sensation with every step that isn��t just comfortable — it’s interactive.

“We call it ‘dynamic motion,’” says Reggie Hunter, Product Director for Nike Lifestyle Footwear. “The independent setup of the chambers means that the air unit can respond to the load of your body with each step. The feeling of heel-to-toe movement is seamless because the air unit is interacting in real time with your foot and moves with you. The Nike Air Max Dn was the first time we were able to unlock that feeling.”

From the start, the shoe was a collaborative effort between Nike designers, engineers and scientists at Nike Air Manufacturing Innovation (Air MI) and the Nike Sport Research Lab (NSRL) to create a more efficient Air system for comfort and motion. But they knew the feeling of Dynamic Air underfoot couldn’t be the shoe’s only hallmark. The look of the shoe had to be fresh, something Air Max lovers haven’t seen before.

Nike’s innovation teams built on more than three decades of Air Max science and cutting-edge methods of make to deliver an unprecedented feel in the Dn. Digital capabilities like Finite Element Analysis helped teams test the air unit more quickly and accurately before making prototypes for real-life testing in the lab. When testing the air unit’s durability, for instance, the team could digitally simulate a year’s worth of wear and tear on the shoe in just a few hours. Getting answers like these faster allowed the teams to gather athlete feedback even sooner, then continue the process: try, test, refine, repeat.

“Counterintuitively, these exacting methods of testing create more opportunities for us to be surprised,” says Kathy Gomez, Nike VP, NXT Footwear. “For example, in the Dn, you’d think the softest tube in terms of psi should go in the heel for crash landing and better transition. But actually, we found that transition was best when the firmest tube was under the heel and the softest was under the midfoot.” 

Together, Nike teams obsessed every detail of the shoe to provide all-day comfort and style. A TPU shank arch clip provides structure and support around the midfoot, and a TPU heel counter supports the Achilles. Injected Phylon foam surrounds the air unit, providing comfort underfoot, while a street-ready rubber outsole wraps around the heel to provide traction and durability. 

The upper also had to emote the dreamy, fluid feeling of that heel-to-toe transition. The material teams suggested using a modern textile featuring a haptic, textured overlay with a silicone finish. The air unit works in concert with every other shoe component, designed with the same level of innovation, science and research that goes into Nike’s elite performance shoes. 

The result: a bold new Air Max model that disrupts and reimagines the future of Nike Air with each step.

“Ultimately, being disruptive enables you to create a new conversation,” says Hunter. “Being disruptive also opens the door for curiosity. If a generation of people who love Air Max are shocked by the Dn, we know we’re doing something right. But the reason we made Dn is less about appealing to a specific demographic and more about designing a shoe that people want to pick up, interact with it, learn about it and wear. And wear. And wear.”

For Gomez, these new conversations around a platform like Nike Air happen when a new shoe changes the game. The Nike Air Max Dn opens the door wide for Air Max’s next era.

“Dynamic Air raises our benchmark for what Air feels like,” says Gomez. “We’re always raising our expectations of what we can deliver for athletes. We’re using every tool at our disposal and every bit of our expertise to create new sensations with Air, while doing it more precisely. Maybe most important, we’re creating something that’s legitimately pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with comfort and motion. And this is just the beginning of the future of Air.” 

The Nike Air Max Dn All Night colorway, and additional colorways, will release across nike.com and Nike retail in adult and youth sizes on March 26 as part of Air Max Week 2024. The Nike Air Max Dn All Day colorway will launch via SNKRS and select retailers. Follow SNKRS to learn more.

THE FUTURE 100: WHAT’S IN STORE FOR 2020 AND BEYOND?

If you missed Wunderman Thompson’s “Future 100” report, which forecasts what’s in store for 2020, here’s a summary of 7 of its most illuminating trends.

There’s no denying the latter part of the 2010s were filled with political, economic and environmental instability – so it’s a relief to see a growing number of brands combating anxiety with optimism.

According to Wunderman Thompson, “Forward-thinking companies are brightening the gloom by offering a measured and thoughtful outlook, one that is both realistic and optimistic.”

Here are a few trends worth watching in 2020 and beyond…

Climate positive brands

According to Wunderman Thompson Intelligence’s SONAR™ research, 90% of consumers believe that companies and brands have a responsibility to take care of the planet and its people.

As a result, brands are taking greater responsibility for environmental impact.

Two examples: Since 2017, H&M has been working towards its aim of becoming carbon neutral by 2040, while Unilever has pledged to be carbon positive by 2030.

It’s interesting because: “Carbon-positive practices are becoming more than just a trust-building exercise to earn consumer loyalty—they are evolving into a modern business imperative,” says Wunderman Thompson.

“Untabooing” in the East

According to Wunderman Thompson, long-established taboos are beginning to fall away in Asia. From mental health to sexual health and gender stereotypes, once-taboo topics are seeing the light of day – thanks in large part to technology and progressive advertisers who are being braver with their messaging.

In China, a platform called Yummy invites women to discuss sexual and health issues, and its user numbers have reportedly topped two million. In Thailand, Ooca is making therapy sessions accessible through its website and a smartphone app.

For brands, there’s an opportunity to help younger generations tackle taboos by creating safe, open platforms for conversation.

Sentient tech

Brands are embracing technology to devise pleasing ways of relieving people’s stress and anxiety.  Last year, Microsoft unveiled Ada, an AI sculpture that translates emotions into a colourful display (below). At CES 2019, Kia showcased its ability to monitor a driver’s emotions using its Real-time Emotion Adaptive Driving (Read) system. The car adjusts the car accordingly, altering the lighting or music to reintroduce a sense of calm, cleverly coaxing you to shift your mood.

Haptic tech

Imagine if you could feel products while you’re online shopping, using AR and VR to simulate physical interaction with a dress you’d like to buy, for example.

Haptic technology is making virtual tactile experiences possible – and it made a big splash at CES 2019, according to Wunderman Thompson. Alibaba has already launched a haptic technology solution called ‘Refinity’. Disney has produced a prototype for a haptic Force Jacket that will produce physical sensations for VR environments so you can feel punches or hug, for example.

“Haptic technology is set to revolutionize everything from entertainment to education,” Wunderman Thompson predicts.

“It elevates 3D digital environments to something far more interactive and emotional. As haptic-enhanced products improve, demand will grow and R&D will see further investment. Now’s the time for brands to assess how haptics can enhance their product innovation strategy.”

“Gamefluencers”

The gaming industry will be worth $300 billion by 2025, according to GlobalData, and brands that want a slice of the action are recruiting ‘gamefluencers’ to promote their wares.

In August 2019, Fortnite megastar Tyler Blevins signed a multi-year partnership with Adidas, while Nike signed a deal to with League of Legends Pro League (LPL) players to become their exclusive apparel and footwear partner. Watch this space.

Futureproof recipes

“Consumers are pivoting towards a “climate diet,” consuming less meat and dairy, and seeking environmentally friendly alternatives,” says Wunderman Thompson. “Food brands will need to start producing healthy and sustainable foods that not only feed consumers but also nourish the planet.”

Consumers are flocking to brands like Impossible Foods’ Impossible Burger, and Oatly’s oat-based ‘milk’, which emphasize sustainability as much as they do flavor.

Next-gen retail spaces

Finally, with much of their lives spent on social media, millennials regard design values as being of paramount importance. Expect to see far more immersive, impeccably designed retail spaces in future to captivate their minds – and wallets.

In the third quarter of 2018, Porsche charted revenue of 19.1 billion euros (RM90 billion) and profit of 3.3 billion euros (RM15.5 billion). Look at what the cat brought in – 350,000 units of the Macan were sold up to that time. Not only has the junior SUV fattened up the black ink-penned bottom line, it has done so despite only coming into being only less than six years ago.

The Porsche Macan has played a huge role in bringing the sportscar maker from Stuttgart yet further into profitability – an important evolutionary step if the company is to continue making the sports cars it has historically been known for, alongside the development towards electrification the industry as a whole is headed.

And evolve the Macan Porsche has done, though if judged by what its exterior looks like, the German firm can’t be faulted for lacking subtlety in the revisions made to its bestseller. Has Porsche done enough? Let’s find out.

Famed for its sports cars, the marque has perhaps wisely chosen to stay close to the overall visual cues of the 2014 original, providing enough of a refresh to keep its most compact model in line with the style of its rangemates.

To see where the changes have been made, we must first go back. Literally, to the rump of the Macan, which is where the revised tail lamp assembly now cuts a singular red light strip across the car’s width, giving the SUV its most obvious visual distinction. It’s much the same as before when viewed in profile, while there are select updates again at the sharp end with a revised front bumper and new LED headlamps.

Revisions to the interior are sparing. The dashboard has been updated to accommodate a new, larger infotainment panel, which now measures 10.9 inches across, up from the 7.2-inch unit of the previous iteration, with the central air-conditioning vents relocated to suit the new screen’s added width. Infotainment has been updated to keep with the times, where Porsche Connect enables mobile device pairing with Android and Apple systems.

The proliferation of buttons along the transmission tunnel remains, instead of the visually slicker haptic feedback configuration found on the larger Cayenne and Panamera. To these hands, however, the more traditional setup of conventional buttons offer a more tactile experience, and a greater sense of positivity upon each command of any given knob or button. Perhaps yours truly is just more old-fashioned that way…

Driver instrumentation has also been lightly revised, where the analogue speedometer and tachometer are now joined by a configurable TFT display to the right. The now-familiar 918 Spyder2-style sports steering wheel takes pride of place in the front row, and makes for a pleasingly intuitive driving environment together with the supportive front seats. If Sport Chrono is specified, the Sport Response dial is located at the approximate 4 o’clock position just off the wheel boss.

The Macan’s body-in-white remains as before and thus carries over the cabin, which similarly offers interior space that is either snug or sufficient, depending on one’s persuasion. For the driver, his or her immediate surroundings continues to be good news as with the pre-facelift car, where the positioning of the seat, pedals and steering wheel relative to each other is spot on. No untoward quirks, for the five-foot-ten frame of yours truly, at least.

Two variants were on offer for our sampling – the base Macan with a 2.0 litre turbocharged petrol engine, and the 3.0 litre turbocharged V6 petrol-engined Macan S.

First up was the more potent of the duo, the Macan S with 354 hp and 480 Nm of torque at our disposal. The gains of 14 hp and 20 Nm over the previous boosted six-pot is the result of not merely a calibration exercise, rather a new unit which relocates its twin-scroll turbocharger to the centre of the ‘V’ within both banks of cylinders in order to achieve improved responsiveness.

On the urban and rural roads around Mallorca, the revised turbo six offered all the thrust and immediacy one could feel they need from a compact SUV, even one with a name so overtly associated with motorsport. Certainly, variants more potent than this Macan S will surface in due course, for those who so desire.

When the going got narrower, the smaller exterior dimensions (relative to the Cayenne) worked to the Macan’s benefit, enabling its driver to thread the 1.92 metre-wide (2.09 metres, including mirrors) SUV through the Spanish countryside at pace with greater confidence.

That confidence is further bolstered by the consistency of the control weights on the Macan S, where steering, brakes and throttle are concerned. Porsche says plenty of attention has been paid to braking, where a lighter brake pedal now acts upon the master cylinder via a shortened lever arm.

This is difficult to ascertain without back-to-back comparison against the pre-facelift car, although in isolation the optional PCCB ceramic brakes on the Macan S are tirelessly brilliant, offering a comfortable surfeit of braking power with plenty of pedal feel that enables fine modulation.

Steering is well-judged for weight and directness, in turn imparting responses that feel very much at home in a vehicle of this size and weight. Where the driver steers, the Macan S points with eagerness and hangs on with tenacity which belies its height, and responds rather more akin to a hatchback of traditional stature.

The Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) active damping setup is well calibrated across the selection offered, neither sacrificing too much body control for plushness in its softest, nor trading too much absorbency for roll resistance in its firmest. The Macan just deals with the road surface and driver demands of the moment, and delivers composure.

Could the Macan S improve further upon its chassis? Perhaps, though this is likely down to a buyer’s selection of the right options, where ride quality is concerned. Even considering that bump absorption on the Macan S is very agreeable, it could possibly do even better when shod with a wheel-and-tyre combo smaller than the 21-inch diameter set fitted to our test unit.

Our next drive session saw time with the base Macan, which is endowed with the 2.0 litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine, producing 245 hp and 370 Nm of torque. These outputs are down from the preceding version’s 252 hp, owing to measures taken towards compliance with the new, stricter WLTP emission regulations.

In light of the larger Volkswagen Group’s move away from diesel and towards electrification, this petrol four-pot will perhaps be the one to receive Macan Diesel emigrants, or for those looking for the most accessible point of entry into four-door Porsche ownership.

Make no mistake with its entry-level positioning, however, as the base Macan is no poor relation, even in comparison to its more prodigious family members. The fit and finish of the four-cylinder Macan’s cabin feels and appears identical in quality – which is to say, very well put together – to that of the six-cylinder Macan S, with most, if not all trimmings in the larger-engined version available for specification in the base car.

It can’t be helped that in this case, the base Macan lacks in raw muscle from being two cylinders and one litre short in the engine stakes, though the trade-off comes in being 70 kg lighter than the Macan S, with a rated unladen weight of 1,795 kg compared to 1,865 kg for the latter.

As we found, the base car’s three-figure deficit in peak power is made up for when threading through twistier roads – the more modestly propelled version allows for smoother transitions between braking, steering and accelerating (something also noted with the pre-facelift back in 2015). This is largely due to not having as much accumulated speed to scrub off before negotiating a given turn, rather than any dynamic shortcoming on the part of the Macan S. Both models tested wore identically-sized footwear, measuring 265/40R21 and 295/35R21 front and rear, respectively.

The base model’s cast-iron disc brakes measuring 345 mm and 330 mm front and rear respectively are no less reassuring than the optional ceramics on the Macan S. In fact, their slightly softer initial bite allows for even smoother modulation of the brakes, which should be more enjoyable for the vast majority who don’t regularly commit to a touge run en route to wor or on the way home.

As such, it could be argued that the base, 2.0 litre four-pot Macan is the more fluent exponent of tackling a twisty road at modest speeds, on top of potential benefits in terms of running costs. Having said that, anyone buying into this segment of the SUV market is doing so for a price, and will also place a premium on the nuances which add to the driver’s enjoyment – things filed under ‘indulgence’, which may as well include added straight-line pace.

Additionally, while the new V6 mill isn’t the most operatic-sounding unit around, it is nonetheless a richer tonal offering than the four-pot in the base Macan, though the latter still does a highly competent job of sufficiently exercising the chassis for a good time at the helm.

To answer the earlier posed question: has Porsche done enough with this update of the Macan? On account of our time spent with this duo, we’d say so. There are certainly more commodious offerings both within the SUV segment as well as beyond it for the ballpark price range, but if driver enjoyment on paved roads is at the top of your shopping list for a tall-riding vehicle, the current Macan range – albeit a short one, for the time being – remains the sharpest row of tools on the rack.

DRIVEN: 2019 Porsche Macan facelift sampled in Spain In the third quarter of 2018, Porsche charted revenue of 19.1 billion euros (RM90 billion) and profit of 3.3 billion euros (RM15.5 billion).

It made creating as well as dispersing mobile applications for cellphone individuals easy-- boosting the mobile-app growth market and also producing clones such as the Android Market. Data is stored in a multi-tier storage option based on Hitachi Unified Storage VM (HUS VM), making it possible for customers to access the right information at the right time, in the appropriate location and also in the appropriate style. As the globe grapples with longer life-spans, modern technology is racing to stay in advance of the curve. DIGITAL - for a $5 pledge, you'll get a print-and-play variation of Progress: Evolution of Innovation as soon as this project finishes. The firm's autonomous automobile division Waymo claimed drivers who were shot making use of semi-autonomous vehicles know the roadway screening took to doing makeup, searching for cords and electronic devices and even sleeping, rather than watching when traveling in advance. Today's eye-tracking technology from business like Tobii is made use of heavily in use research. RFID innovation aids us in detecting any kind of product within a particular distance; we are not required to see the physical presence of item. Making use of a copyrighted beamforming modern technology called MyBeam as well as advanced software created at 3D sound research facilities at leading colleges.

We as an area understand a lot about the effect of TELEVISION on kids's habits and also discovering, but we understand little about all the new electronic gadgets. A large part of the discussion focused on the difficulties of reworking education and learning to involve ladies with STEM subjects and modern technology jobs-- with a basic view of the benefits of urging little and also large technology firms to work with colleges to increase recognition and adjustment understandings regarding technology jobs. Technology has the power to transform how individuals find out - however stroll into some classrooms and also you could be forgiven for thinking you were going into a time warp. You consider having an additional mug of coffee, yet after that a haptic gadget (" haptic" describes modern technology that includes touch and also sensation) that is installed in the heel of your footwear gives you a gentle pinch - a signal that you'll be late for your morning conference if you linger any longer.
