The Adidas Grit Emulates the Sinking Feeling of Running on Sand
These 3D printed shoes optimize high-intensity workouts by making it harder, rather than easier, to run across any hard surface.
Running on soft sand sucks. Even amongst professional athletes, the explosive speed and lasting endurance normally on tap evaporates quickly when feet hit sand. But research shows the risk of injury declines while endurance improves training upon the impact-absorbing surface. Thus, the workout has garnered popularity with professional athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike. Designer Aarish Netarwala’s resistance-producing concept shoes for Adidas replicates the same physical challenge with a baroque 3D-printed lattice designed to suck away energy and strengthen muscles with every foot strike ? all without the hassle of getting sand in-between the toes. “Fatigue Faster” doesn’t normally have a ring to it, but in explosive strength optimization, it might sell.
Athletes have long turned to running on sand to strengthen muscles and improve endurance, all without the wear and tear associated with pounding concrete. It’s a habit Netarwala observed amongst athletes training across the challenging sandy incline of Sand Dune Park in Manhattan Beach, California.
The struggles of runners ascending sparked ideas about how to replicate the energy loss produced when a runner’s feet would sink into sand, in essence a reversal of fortune, sucking away the regenerative energy designs normally associated with athleti...
