Are Nike and Adidas running shoes really much worse than the four big running shoes?

I started running at the age of 3/kloc-0, and now I am almost 37 years old. I have been running for almost six years. The average annual running capacity is about 1200 km, and I will participate in the half marathon 1 ~ 2 times a year. Let me talk about the five pairs of shoes I have worn. I basically ran 1000 kilometers in them. At first, I just bought a pair of Adi's shoes (not boost) for fitness. After running for a long time, the soles of my feet feel very painful. I went to some group activities and communicated with my running friends, and found that running shoes are really important.

I repeatedly asked people around me. I met Black Friday in America and bought a pair of kayano2 1, about 800 RMB. I ran in these shoes and soon got used to it. I was just a junior runner at that time. I have a few questions about running. First, the vertical height from the ground is very high. Second, the swing from left to right is large and the balance is not good. Third, the strength of the waist and abdomen is not good, and the running posture will be deformed in the later period. Fourthly, I ran with a long stride of about 1.75 meters and a low stride frequency. . For a junior runner, kayano's stability and toughness help me a lot. Please believe me! At this time, the running volume is about 1000 km.

The second pair of shoes are energy boosting shoes. The sole is very soft and has poor resilience. At that time, I was still running in the wrong position. I feel that boost is not as easy as kayano, and kayano rebounds well. This rebound can save me a lot of energy. Especially in the second half of running, Kayano really suits me, a little white. Later, I found that there was something wrong with my running posture. I made great efforts to correct this wrong posture. Garmin's stopwatch was used to test my left-right swing and height from the ground. My height from the ground is reduced, and my swing amplitude is reduced even less. I gradually found that boost is more suitable for me. As long as your posture is correct, its softness will give you a good sense of wrapping and less cushioning, which is good for your knees. At that time, the running volume was about 2000 kilometers.

The third pair of shoes is Arthur's Venus 5. Alas, these shoes are such a failure, not that they are bad, but that they don't suit me at all. It doesn't mean that the more expensive the running shoes, the better. Its Venus 5 sole is harder than kayano's and is suitable for junior runners with heavy weight and incorrect posture. I don't want to use it after running for about 200 kilometers. It's a long distance. At this time, the running distance is about 2500 kilometers.

The fourth pair of running shoes is urltra boost, which is my favorite at present. I wore it for more than a year and participated in the half horse. Very comfortable. The difference between it and energy ascension is that it is full palm ascension. I ran on my whole foot (I don't know if this is right). I choose a way to touch the ground, where I can feel the least impact. Maybe this is a feeling of running. Energy boost is a semi-palm assist, which has a greater impact on the soles of feet than Ultra boost, and the soles of feet are easily injured. At this stage, the running volume is about 4000-4500 kilometers. I found that my pace was much slower than at first (about 135) and the pace frequency was very fast. The actual pace is about 4 minutes and 30 minutes Another point is that this running shoe has a high value.

The fifth pair of running shoes is ADI's nmd and this pair is soy sauce. The sole is thinner than ultra boost, and the full palm boost has a high value. Very light (the lightest pair of running shoes), running from a personal point of view, not far, I don't want pb to run in it. At this time, the running volume is about 5000 kilometers.

In addition, the life of normal running shoes is about 1000 km, so I save money and shoes are expensive, so I basically wear them to 1500 km. The writing is not good, but every sentence is my own experience.

I hope the runner can point out the mistake. Thank you.

When running, you will feel lonely at first, and gradually you will like and enjoy this loneliness. When you are sweating all over, it will give you a very healthy and sunny state of mind.

Dedicated to friends who are ready to start running or are running.

I participated in this year's 1 1.25 Guangxi Baise Hongcheng Half Marathon 10K Mini Race. I noticed that runners all over the country wore all kinds of running shoes, with Arthur and Mizuno accounting for the largest proportion (I didn't have these two sports shoes, so I just bought a pair some time ago, which was not suitable, so I returned it), and then I met several pairs of St. Connie and Brooks; A, N, ab, S, these famous sports shoes (I don't have a pair), N appears the most, and other families are not bright spots. Apart from Dowell Li Ning, there are not many other brands in China (the area I observed is too small for comparison), but it doesn't mean that other regions, and the proportion of various brands is not high. Therefore, I think my isolation certificate has no reference value. I chose running shoes for this competition.

1, Arthur Asiks

2. Sokoni Sokoni

3. Brooks Brooks

4. New balance

5. Mizuno Mizuno

6.adidas adidas

7. Nike Nike

Nike, Nike and Adidas are at the bottom of this list. As two world sports brands with high international reputation, why are they not favored in the field of running shoes?

The origin of the title of "Four Running Shoes" is also quite controversial. The similar terminology of "four running shoes" originated from the brand introduction of Saint Connie Saucony when she first entered China in 2002. The specific ranking of the "Four Running Shoes" brands began at the China Folk BBS Forum in 2005. Arthur Asics, Saint Connie Saucony, Brooks Brooks, New Balance of New Balance and Mizuno of Mizuno are all candidate brands of "Big Four", and the concept proposer did not give the name of "main room".

Some people think that Nike and Adidas are not professional running shoes. But in fact, both Nike and Adidas started from track and field (mainly running). Although Nike and Adidas started a little later than Asics and other brands, this does not directly mean that Nike and Adidas are unprofessional in making running shoes. Whether it is market resources, materials, technology research and development or the specific design of a single running shoe product, Nike and Adidas are not inferior to the "four big running shoes" in most aspects.

Yes, it's just a matter of whether you want to do it or not. Running shoes are not works of art, but mass goods. Making shoes also depends on market returns. The products made by Nike and Adidas are chosen according to their own market positioning. Don't talk about "decades of accumulation", it is only a matter of minutes to surpass it.

Assuming that the "four running shoes" are compared to the top super-running manufacturers, then Nike and Adidas are Mercedes-Benz BMW. Mercedes-Benz BMW is fully capable of doing supercars, but how many people will buy supercars?

The main reason is that their excellent protective performance has benefited many ordinary runners. For example, Arthur GEL cushioning gel has received rave reviews in the circle of running friends, and its different running shoes based on human feet are also very popular.

Personally, I think many people have a special liking for the "four running shoes", which may still lie in excellent protective performance, not racing performance. If there are junior runners with a large amount of exercise, those with heavy weight, those who lose weight by running, and those with poor bones, choosing the "four running shoes" will basically not bring too much burden to the knees, and can also reduce the occurrence of sports diseases.

But professional running shoes and jogging shoes are obviously different concepts. Professional running shoes are actually racing shoes. In fact, for most professional runners, due to the maturity of running technology, the dependence on equipment is not so high, and it will not be limited to the "four running shoes". Therefore, Nike, a lightweight racing running shoe, is more popular with professional runners.

Flyknit technology of vamp, cushioning materials from the past Air to the present Zoom and Lunar;; Nike Free, a barefoot running shoe, and Nike+, a sports detection device introduced earlier, are considered to be more original in Nike's running.

At the same time, from the appearance, there is no doubt that Nike and Adidas do better than the "four big running shoes". After all, leading fashion and trends has always been the main appeal of Nike and Adidas. If you are a junior runner who doesn't run much, Nike and Adidas running shoes with nice styles are also a good choice for you to wear besides running.

Nike and Adidas need different routes to compete, so there will definitely be something new, such as Air Max or Boost, and there will also be some sports gains in publicity. In fact, it is difficult to judge motion gain and motion protection from several sets of data. It is also difficult to judge whether a pair of shoes is suitable for you from the data, or you have to really put on your shoes and run a few times to know. Running shoes have always been a very subjective thing. For a runner, whether it is the "four running shoes" or Nike Adi, what suits you is king.

Brooks and Sokoni are both famous in the field of running shoes, and they are the choice of many professional runners. But in terms of comprehensive strength (including scale), they are still inferior to Nike, Adi and even Arthur.

First of all, let's look at some information in order to look at this issue objectively and fairly:

First of all, we saw the five best options selected by Runner's World. Brooks' Ghost 1 1 won the annual editor's choice award, and another GTS 18 won the winter editor's choice award. The best update award was won by the new Barron 890V6, the best suggested purchase award was won by Brooks Ravenna9, and the best appearance award was won by Sokoni Free ISO.

As can be seen from this list of winners, Brooks has a good reputation in the American market, and Sokani has a good reputation in the American market. Interestingly, we also found that our domestic brand 36 1 degree and Strata2 generation 36 1 degree international line also entered the recommended list, ranking very high, only behind Brooks Ghost 1 1.

We look at the ranking of running shoes brands from the top ten websites, and the result is this:

1 brooks

2 Nike

3 Arthur

4Hoka One One (I haven't seen it either)

5 adidas

6 Sokoni

7 New Barron

8 Skech

9 Newton

10 Mizuno

It can be seen from the user satisfaction ranking of runrepeat website that Brooks Ghost 1 1 still ranks first, but the second place is Solomon's S-lab Sense 6, and the third place is Skye's GOrun600. 4-6 are all ADI's boost products. The seventh place is the latest generation of King Arthur Kayano series with a history of 20 years. We saw that only 1 products of Nike entered the top 10.

However, the list we see is an average score list. We see how many people have commented on the rightmost item. We see that other brands are not in the same order of magnitude as Adi and Nike. Adi's Ultra Boost Uncaged won 982 people, and Nike's only Flex RN 20 17, which entered the top ten, also won 73 1 people, while the first generation Brooks Ghost 1 1 won 59 people, and the second generation Salomon model won 77 people, which was an order of magnitude worse than Nike and Adi. We can draw a conclusion that although they have a good reputation and high scores, they are still a niche product and should be added to consumers in China. For example, Brooks has not officially entered the China market, while Nike and Adi's specialty stores have all opened in the fourth and fifth tier cities. Can this be compared? Let's start with the second-ranked Solomon's running shoes. In fact, he is a running shoe or a cross-country running shoe. Of course, this list is comprehensive. These shoes are not road shoes, so they are biased together.

Then we also referred to the British expert review website, and I think the comments given by this non-American media are still of great reference significance. After all, we don't live in the United States, and the most popular domestic running shoes in the eyes of Americans are not sold in China and many other countries. Talking about it is as boring as talking about an idiot.

Of all the running shoes evaluated by this British website, Nike Zoom Pegasus 34 is the best. This shoe was rated as the best, because no matter you are an amateur or a professional, you can accept this very popular leaping running shoe.

New balance zante4 was rated as the best running shoes available within 100.

Adizero adios 3 was named the best shoe in the half marathon.

Brand-name shoes Kayano24 were rated as the best support.

Nike's Vaporfly 4% is a niche shoe. As the comments say, it's really super hard to buy. It is not sold in ordinary places, and the price is also very expensive, about 2000 RMB. Are these shoes really made for 4% runners?

Suokangni and Triumph ISO 4 were rated as super soft cushioning shoes.

Adi Ultra Boost was rated as the most fashionable running shoes.

We saw the selection of British expert websites. This is a comprehensive evaluation of the use of a large number of groups. There is no famous Brooks in it. But there is a Sokoni and a new Barron, and Arthur, as a running shoe, should be able to eat at the same table with Nike and Adi. Other American brands can't eat at the same table as Adi and Nike.

The author himself has never lived in America, but I have lived in Europe. Brooks and Sokani are not well-known in Europe, but Arthur is super famous. I remember there is a King Arthur store on Regent's Avenue in London, where you can not only try on shoes, but also try running. There is a running room and a treadmill, where you can try on new shoes. I'm afraid Brooks and Sokani can't provide this kind of service experience.

On the whole, I don't deny that Brooks and Sokani's running shoes have a very good reputation, but I don't think you can say that they can dump Nike and Adi. In fact, there is not much difference between these brands. After Adi's boost came out, it almost swept the market, which made Nike unbearable. As far as brand coverage is concerned, Brooks and Suokangni are definitely far behind Nike and Adi. You don't have a store in China, and you can't try it on. Can only be bought from Haitao. What's the point of comparing them?

After two days of brewing, I finally started writing! When I first saw this question, I was confused because it involved too much content. After finishing, as a fashionista who pays attention to improving personal aesthetics and temperament, we have finished the following contents. See if it makes sense.

On the one hand, the world's four major running shoes refer to:

"Rolls Royce in running shoes" Soconi

"President's jogging shoes" New Balance

"King of Running Shoes" assis (Arthur)

"One of the Four Running Shoes" Brooks;

On the other hand, Adidas and Nike's running shoes:

Breeze series: adidas Climacool

Pegasus Series: Nike Pegasus

Four kinds of running shoes are mainly favored by many professional runners or people who love running. This group of people have relatively high requirements for running shoes, so four kinds of running shoes are widely used in these two groups of people. In addition to the above two groups of people, Qingfeng and Pegasus also face countless ordinary people, mainly for the sake of wearing comfort and fashion trends. Therefore, from the audience, Adidas and Nike, which are mainly Qingfeng and Pegasus, are more extensive.

In the running shoes represented by ASICS, gel technology can be described as the overlord of the running shoes industry. Of course, other brands also have their own core technologies to provide very professional support for runners. Boost loaded by Adidas Climacool and Air Zoom loaded by Nike Pegasus first provide comfortable feet for running shoes, but they are not as good as four running shoes in professional applicability.

To be honest, price is a very important reference standard. After all, running is still in the position of "the most economical type of exercise". The prices of the four major running shoes are generally reasonable. /kloc-You can buy very good running shoes below 0/000 yuan, but Adidas is different from Nike. Usually thousands of shoes can have some characteristics, which are not only reflected in running shoes, but also in basketball shoes.

First of all, Adi and Nike are absolutely comparable to the four major brands.

First look at the shoes of world-famous marathon invitees, mostly Nike and Adi.

Nike's vaporfly 4% (the second generation in September this year) is almost worn by big players. And Adi's commemorative money in Damascus, Boston, Tokyo and other places. It is also because of sponsoring some players.

I have run long-distance races myself, bought Adi, Nike, asics, saucony, nb, and never tried Brooks. My own experience is:

Nike flyknit is suitable for half horses, and the long distance really needs better cushioning.

Artie is my favorite. I wore eb in my early years and it was very comfortable. Later, pb and ub came out, and neither was suitable for long-distance running. Although the friction at the bottom of pb lattice increases, long-distance running soon bubbles. This is a lesson from my recent horse racing. Ub I bought the st version, which is more exciting, unstable and quite regrettable.

Asics bought k23/24, but because of its heavy weight and low resilience, it became a walking shoe.

Nb I bought two pairs of vazee rush, which are quite cheap. I dare not go horse racing. I usually use it for training, which is quite satisfactory.

Finally, saucony bought a pair of trimuph iso3, which was very fancy. Frankly speaking, it is the most comfortable foot I have ever worn, with the perfect design of weight and rebound. The only regret is that the head is round and looks stupid.

To sum up, the Big Four are not all very powerful. Compared with the flagship models, Adi and Nike are not inferior.

I have studied running shoes for a long time. Why are there four big ones? Because the history of the Big Four is longer than that of N and A, but now I can say that Nike is the strongest. Why? Nike has the largest market value, and Nike sports shoes have the most patents, reaching more than 8,000. The Big Four and Adidas may not have as many patents as Nike. Secondly, Nike invests the most in R&D, and so does its income. Nike is the boss. Who is better? Actually, there are several factors in buying running shoes. In addition to appearance, we should also consider weight, foot type, speed, running posture, shoe weight and consumption level. Only by comprehensively considering these conditions can we avoid detours, but many people rarely consider the factor of shoe weight. If you can't choose, choose Nike. That's right. It is difficult for other brands to balance these factors.

Arthur, Suokangni, Brooks, Mizuno.

Presumably, many friends have never heard of these brands without the introduction of shoe cabinets.

The four major running shoes, except Asics and New Balance, are well-known in China, and the other two brands are generally known only to friends who are keen on running.

So are the shoes of the four major running shoes brands really better than Nike and Adidas?

Obviously, this is not comprehensive!

At present, Nike and Adidas still occupy the main running shoes market.

Most friends will still choose Nike and Adidas running shoes.

You can easily find a pair of Adidas ultra boost in the street, but you can hardly find a pair of Brooks.

If the shoes of the four major brands are so excellent, why don't many people buy them?

Because the branch lines of Nike and Adidas are richer, more comprehensive and more applicable.

Nike and Adidas have very rich product lines, ranging from daily travel to professional running shoes.

Someone who can meet all kinds of needs.

The vast majority of consumers are not professional athletes, so when buying running shoes, more consideration is given to the comfort and appearance of shoes, rather than the performance of shoes.

Therefore, Nike and Adidas with better design, higher value and richer styles are naturally more popular with consumers.

The main products of the four major brands are professional running shoes, which are highly professional and designed to better meet the needs of athletes.

Therefore, in terms of professionalism, there is no doubt that the four major brands have studied running shoes more thoroughly.

After all, there is specialization in the industry.

But it doesn't mean that the shoes of the four major brands are better than Nike and Adidas.

Just like Nike's 4% series and GEL-KAYANO series, it's hard to tell the difference.

Simply put, Nike, Adidas and the four major running shoes brands have their own advantages and disadvantages. When choosing shoes, you should choose according to your own conditions, not identify the brand.

There are no "four big running shoes".

If you go to Baidu, there will be a variety of "Top Ten Private Hospitals" and so on, and every industry has a variety of Top Ten. Where did it come from? Who voted? Who certified it?

It is nothing more than a way for businesses to brag and promote their own brands.

You say Asics, Saucony, Brooks and Mizuno all make running shoes, and they all do well, I admit it, but how dare they pretend to be "big" in front of Nike and Adidas?

Some niche powders are also refined. I always think that Nike and Adidas are not as good as these brands in making professional running shoes. They think their running shoes are more professional.

Sorry, the fact is that Nike, like Adidas and the US-Soviet hegemony, not only accumulated profound knowledge in basketball shoes and football shoes, including running shoes, but also became very professional. The accumulated patented technology can beat all other brands. If you insist that China hanged the United States and the Soviet Union in some way at that time, you should be happy.

However, we must admit that Nike and Adidas will not put all their energy into running shoes. The running shoes they produce should obey the market and produce whatever sells well. As we all know, the reputation of running shoes made by Nike and Adidas is not very good, but this reputation is based on huge sales. And if you only make running shoes like Asics or New Balance, when your shipment reaches the level of Nike and Adidas, I'm sorry, word of mouth will also change greatly.

We look at Nike and Adidas, just like Mercedes-Benz and BMW. Do you think Mercedes-Benz and BMW can't do the best supercar? Do you think a few supercars are doing well and ask Mercedes-Benz BMW if they are not doing well?

Of course it can be understood this way.

But Mercedes-Benz and BMW will not focus on super-running, because their main battlefield is not super-running customers.

So are Nike and Adidas. If they are still young and can only concentrate on making a breakthrough in running shoes, that's fine.

The four major running shoes recognized in the world are Soconi, Arthur, NB and brooks. Among them, Suokangni and Brooks don't know much except professional runners, and I really don't know much about them. Arthur and NB do have a certain popularity in China, but they are still a little lower than Adinik. All four running shoes belong to jogging shoes, and they all have their own unique cushioning technology.

Nowadays, most people who like sports and running choose shoes not only for running, but also for walking comfort, and Adinik has an absolute advantage in appearance. Adinik has also made a lot of ultra-high-tech running shoes recently. Let's take a look at them.

Adidas 4D running shoes

Probably the most technologically advanced running shoes now. The midsole made of 4D printing technology has excellent shock absorption and strong feedback. The shoe body is designed as an ultra-high wrapped breathable woven shoe body, which can be said to be a perfect running shoe.

Adidas super high

Adidas ub series running shoes are boost midsole, which has high cushioning and flexibility, and the comfort of walking and running is very high. On the left is the latest ub 19 running shoes. The design of running shoes is relatively systematic, and only four original orders have been made. The ub 4.0 on the right is a traditional ub running shoe with very high comfort.

Nike zoom flight

Nike's zoom fly series of running shoes use Nike's own zoom air cushion, which is very profitable. And the shoe design is very trendy, a pair of fashionable shoes. Fly series is also the signature of Nike running shoes, with good breathability and wrapping.
