I remember when the Reebok Pumps came out and thinking that somehow pumping them up was going to help people jump higher. That clearly wasn’t the case. Now though, with these new Nike Flywire boots, it sounds as if footwear technology has developed to where it can realistically help you run faster. Interesting that some of the inspiration for this came from suspension bridges. I find the blending of technology, function and design interesting and I’m curious to see how technology continues to affect not only the performance of athletes, but how athletic gear is designed.
