Now let's take a look at Arenas' performance on the court. Coach Root Olson, who once taught at the University of Arizona, should apologize for what he once said, and all the teams that missed Arenas in the 200 1 draft should also regret it, as well as the Golden State Warriors, who always failed to retain talents. They should also deeply blame themselves for losing the arena ...

Indeed, when I first entered the NBA,

Few people will take this boy who insists on wearing the Warriors No.0 jersey seriously, but after Arenas won the MVP of the Rookie Challenge and the award of the most progressive player of the year in 2003, everyone began to look at him with new eyes. People gradually understand that those embarrassing experiences have become the driving force for Arenas to fight hard on the court. For Arenas, humiliating all opponents who once looked down on him on the court is the most powerful counterattack he gave, just like the tiger tattooed on his chest now-the whole NBA league is a vast forest, and Arenas hopes to be the "king of the forest".

Obviously, all-star players like Arenas should be treated as all-star players, and in order to fulfill their promises, Adidas brand finally launched the first personal signature sneakers for Arenas at the end of 2006.

Generally speaking, Adidas Gil-Zero is a sneaker with a very simple design, but every detail design of this sneaker has its uses, so even without special emphasis, we should be able to see that Adidas Gil-Zero is a practical sneaker. The combination of various technologies makes this sneaker have its unique charm, and the simple but fashionable design makes people feel a very natural affinity.

Like Adidas T-MAC VI, which is also 5lve, Adidas Gil-Zero is also a sports shoe designed based on ForMotion(GCS) technology. Even compared with Adidas T-MAC VI, Adidas Gil-Zero with adiPRENE ++ technology on the front foot is superior to the former in terms of shock absorption. This combination of two different shock absorption technologies naturally becomes Adidas Gil.

As we all know, breakthrough layup is one of the most commonly used scoring methods for Arenas. So we say that players like Arenas don't spend much time on the ground with their whole feet. More often, they need the support of their feet to cooperate with them to complete changes and breakthroughs. On this issue, ForMotion technology can obviously meet the special needs of players like Arenas for sneakers, or ForMotion technology has actually surpassed the traditional cushioning system. When the wearer breaks through quickly on the court, ForMotion technology will provide cushioning in the horizontal direction. So that players can gain extra control and flexibility-the circular objects arranged along the inner side of the whole sole are the full embodiment of ForMotion technology, which can provide a very reliable grip for the wearer, which will keep the wearer stable and comfortable in every movement. No matter how fierce the breakthrough is and how fast the movement is, ForMotion technology will provide the most reliable support for the wearer.

Of course, in addition to the above, the round heel held by Adidas Gil-Zero can also be regarded as a very special design of this sneaker in the overall structure. Its function is firstly to provide some flexibility for the wearer, and secondly to give people a visual impact on the design with the classic Adidas three bars.

1. Modeling: When I first saw GIL Zero, I felt it was as strange as an arena.

Even a little strange.

Air holes all over the shoe body

The three bars formed by the big shadow are placed behind the outside.

Very low uppers ... (in fact, I saw the low-profile version at that time ...) got the real thing.

You'll get used to it if you watch too much.

In fact, these shoes are not as special as they seem at first sight.

And MID obviously gives me a much greater sense of security than LOW ... The whole pair of shoes uses patent leather design in three places (snake pattern? It seems that it is also a patent leather pattern dedicated to MOTION, and it is the same on T-MAC6.

A piece where the toe and the slope sign are located.

Benefits of rational layout

in addition

The whole pair of shoes doesn't tell them who they are.

For my color scheme, the logo of Arenas is only printed on the arch. Finally, I found it.

In fact, what I am not used to most is the countless pores …

Style: ★★★☆ (out of 5★

0.5 points

The same below)

II. Parcel: I wonder if all the shoes with FORMOTION have some common features.

For example, the shoelaces are difficult to tie, and so on ...... …GIL zero packaging is not very good.

The area mainly responsible for fixing the feet is on the instep where the shoelaces are located.

Tighten the shoelaces layer by layer.

After paying the price of grinding half a layer of skin with your fingers

You won't feel tied down.

The instep won't hurt.

But for me personally, the package in the middle of the foot side is not enough.

Personally, I prefer VC 5 or AIR MAX 180BB (that is, AF) but my feet are fixed.

It's okay to keep it still.

So the bag is basically qualified (my pursuit of the bag is even harsh)

For friends who like to play with loose shoelaces, don't pay too much attention to my description of dressing. One more thing.

Due to the unique heel health design.

You can easily stuff your feet into your shoes.

Much better than wearing T-MAC6

of course

This design is not just for wearing shoes.

As described below.

oh

Suddenly I remembered the same feature of Adidas-the insole was slippery like a loach.

Packing: ★★★★★

ⅲ. Grip: The outsole with GIL zero is divided into four areas.

Mixed with three different large shading patterns-round water ripples.

It combines the herringbone pattern of Adidas LOGO with the herringbone pattern arranged vertically.

When I first saw this outsole, I thought of Kidd's big eyes (it seems that Adidas has been learning Nike recently.

From retro to replica to sole groove and even to outsole) Adidas marked the word "no trace" on the outsole. GIL size zero has the same sole as McGrady size 6.

And very soft.

pay attention to

I just said it was all soft.

But their textures are obviously different. McGrady 6 feels more like hard rubber.

GIL-ZERO feels like hard foam (see details about durability below), but the grip of GIL-ZERO is not as good as I expected in actual combat.

I can only say that it is quite general.

Slipped on the concrete floor twice.

Rubber particles are quite satisfactory in this field.

It won't make you slip, but it's not easy to stop at once.

I think it may have something to do with the cleanliness of the ground.

Because now look at the soles, you can find a thick layer of ash.

So you'd better pay attention when you wear it.

To avoid capsizing in the gutter.

Grip (infield): ★★★★★

Grip (outfield): ★★★★★☆.

Ⅳ. Reactivity: One of the reasons why I define GIL-ZERO as a practical sneaker is that compared with the high-tech luxury pursued by T-MAC 6.

More practical.

You can see that adiPRENE+ has never been abandoned.

I always think that this classic technology of Adidas is not young.

But it still has its meaning.

At least it gives me a stronger sense of feedback than FORMOTION (some friends say that FORMOTION has the feeling of lateral help)

Personally, I think this is because through mobile technology.

When you break through quickly,

The contact area between shoes and the ground is greatly increased than before.

Therefore, the transmission of force is smoother and more effective.

Compared with the past

I feel a qualitative leap.

Therefore, this kind of power is more likely to be a power that the wearer has never felt before.

Not FORMOTION's feedback.

The weight of the shoe body can be increased.

Personally, I feel that GIL-ZERO's response ability is really better than T-MAC 6.

Here are two small designs that have to be mentioned.

One is a deeply sunken heel design.

This is a detail that I personally like very much.

Not just for the convenience of wearing shoes.

When you run or walk

You won't feel any restraint when your ankle moves back and forth.

It can be said that this design enhances the flexibility of shoes to a certain extent.

Although it was built at the expense of protection.

Compared with LOW, I personally think that it may not feel too bad when the ankles move back and forth.

The second is the round back root.

Because arenas landed on his feet when he was running.

So GIL zero was specially designed like this.

As long as you compare it with the Tianzu basketball shoes, you will find that the back root design of the two is very similar.

These two points blend together.

This means that when you stride forward, you can take bigger steps.

The faster the speed.

Another similarity about form

There will be a small groove between the middle palm and the forefoot to help the soles of the feet bend.

Reactivity: ★★★★★

ⅴ. Shock absorption: OK, here I will explain it in two parts.

The first is vertical.

Read my previous assessment or

Friends who know a little about FORMOTION should know.

This technology is more about lateral buffering.

It is not difficult to see this from the design, and all the elements of FORMOTION are in it.

At the same time, adiPRENE+ pays more attention to reactivity.

Therefore, GIL-ZERO still has the common problem of Adidas guard front shoes (A3 is actually the inner shoes)-insufficient longitudinal cushioning ability.

For a person of my weight (70KG 1.76M).

At present, the cushioning is still qualified.

There will be no discomfort

But according to the experience of wearing C8, the EVA insole will be squashed ... then it can only be resigned (otherwise

Shall we buy a pair of ZOOM AIR insoles? Hehe)

Shock absorption (longitudinal): ★★★★★☆.

For mobile technology,

I'll say one more word.

The actual evaluation of this project is its stability during driving. FORMOTION was once considered as a shoe designed for high jumpers.

In fact, FORMOTION is a technology invented for breakthrough.

And the effect is very remarkable.

Everyone knows that there are many ways to break through.

Many people are used to forming an inclined angle with the ground.

Try to put your feet out.

Keep your body straight.

This leaves enough space.

And shoes will also shift their center of gravity to the outside or the inside.

It also constitutes an unstable factor.

Forming mechanism is the fundamental way to solve this problem.

Five-point lateral movement

Make a part of the inner side of the shoe perpendicular to the ground.

Thereby increasing the surface area in contact with the ground.

Feel more stable during the breakthrough.

More powerful

Faster.

Higher security

This is the essence of sports.

Compared with T-MAC 6 GIL zero, there are only three mobile units.

But I think these three points are fully qualified for this task (please refer to the annex for analysis in this respect). The feeling of stability is similar to that of T-MAC 6.

It's just a little inferior in toe strength feedback.

But it definitely does not affect the perfect foot feeling when breaking through.

Shock absorption (transverse): ★★★★★☆.

Gilbert arenas has always been a player eager to win. For such a player, what he needs is basketball shoes that can support him to go all out on the court. GIL zero basketball shoes with three air cushions on the outsole? Technical units can do it! It allows players wearing GIL ZERO to gallop on the court with extraordinary confidence. Because they know they can do their best without worrying about losing stability and mobility.

ForMotion？ ：

ForMotion？ It is designed for athletes who need to change their direction quickly to compete.

This technology can absorb the impact of strenuous exercise and emergency stop, give greater comfort and buffer during exercise, and provide athletes with extremely high control in high-speed exercise.

ForMotion？ Story:

We tested ForMotion with the Department of Biomechanics, University of Calgary, Canada. Performance characteristics of. The result shows ForMotion? The performance of is extraordinary. ForMotion？ It can help the feet to locate more quickly and make the horizontal force used more quickly. If you put aside the technical terms, ForMotion? It means that the athlete's feet always stay in the best position during the rapid change of direction. They also found that athletes because of sports? Feel more confident, feel at ease in the horizontal direction to achieve faster movement.

ForMotion？ Absorb the vibration caused by emergency stop, overtaking and steering. ForMotion？ Its working principle is the same as the suspension system used in cars. ForMotion？ It will help you reduce fatigue and potential injuries, and at the same time let you enjoy more comfortable and smooth exercise.

In addition, the University of Calgary tested the effect of ForMotion on reducing the knee impact force in a short time such as sudden stop or steering. What does the discovery of Biomechanics Department show? It has a positive effect on reducing the load of knee joint and may have a preventive effect on injury.

ForMotion？ What's the significance of the game?

You don't have to distract your energy and attention to control your direction and position. Now you can concentrate on the next quick breakthrough and give your opponent a heavy blow.

Of course, you can't win a basketball game just by speed, but now you will win because of action? Get power and speed. Since then, basketball has become a brand-new sport.
