/kloc-In the middle and late 9th century, football developed from folk and royal to a brand-new stage, that is, the modern football stage. 1863, 10 year1October 26th, the British established the first football association in the world: the Football Association of England. In May1904,21,the International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA) was established, and football began to establish unified rules and standards around the world. After many official competitions, the research and development of football shoes also started simultaneously. At the beginning, there was no uniform regulation for football shoes. Some boots weigh more than a kilo and have different appearance materials. Therefore, athletes often get hurt or hurt their opponents when their shoes don't fit. At the beginning of the 20th century, mass-produced football shoes began to appear, which also created conditions for the selection of sneakers in football matches and the formulation of rules within a certain range. The earliest mass-produced football shoe brands are GOLA, Valsport and hummel. GOLA produced the world's first pair of handmade leather soccer shoes in 1905. Even today, it keeps a pair of the oldest Gola in this century in the Gola Museum in Britain. In the first half of the 20th century, it can be said that football players really began to contact and feel professional football shoes.
Replaceable shoe nail
In the mid-20th century, two German brothers changed the definition of football shoes and created two famous sports brands, Adidas and Puma, which are the Dassler brothers.
They created replaceable spikes, separating the body of football shoes from the spikes, which can be screwed into the body and tightened, so that players can replace spikes with appropriate length and materials according to different field conditions in the game, and the help of sneakers to players is also improved. From joint operation to separation, the two brothers are committed to the research and development of football shoes, while constantly innovating and trying in marketing methods. 1929, AdiDassler, the founder of Adidas Company, invented the first pair of football shoes, weighing 500 grams, which were made of leather outsole and spikes, and were equipped with "spikes for edging".
Appearance modeling
1954, Adidas, which is far ahead of other brands in the research of football shoes, designed the first pair of low-waist, soft and lightweight football shoes in history, made of nylon with rotating embedded spikes. This kind of football shoes has become a revolutionary breakthrough in the history of football shoes. Since then, the appearance of football shoes has been basically stereotyped, and the latest football shoes on the market have been transformed by this model. During the period of 1958, most players took part in the competition wearing Adidas football shoes, and Puma also achieved great success by sponsoring Pele and Sebbio. Puma Wang, listed on 1968, and Adidas Copa Mundial, listed on 1979, are the biggest selling football shoes in the world, which proves the contribution of the Dassler brothers to football shoes.
Shock absorption technology
In 1970s and 1980s, umbro, Lotto, Diadora, Reebok, Asics and Mizuno also began to compete in the football shoe market, and achieved good results. Nike, as the last American sports giant to enter the football shoe market, has now achieved an extraordinary share and has to be admired. 1978, inflatable air cushion was first used in footwear industry. However, in a short time, several shoe-making companies of big brands applied this technology to football shoes, and some manufacturers referred to the design of automobile shock-absorbing steel plates and adopted light, thin and strong carbon fibers. In terms of shock absorption, Nike occupies an absolute dominant position in the market, and it is also the first time that they have introduced their own shock absorption technology Zoom into football shoes. Puma also embedded its cell damping technology into shoes designed for Pires.
Friction strip technology
Among them, 1994 is a particularly noteworthy year. At the World Cup in the United States, the Adidas Predator series made a grand debut, and the thick rubber friction strip raised on the upper became the most representative appearance symbol of previous generations of Falcons. Falcon series is by far the most representative football shoes, and it is also the football shoes series designed and manufactured by Adidas. By 2009, Falcon series football shoes have developed to the tenth generation, and Falcon has almost become synonymous with football shoes. With the launch of "Falcon" series, two new designs were born, that is, the folded fin glue design covering the tongue and foot. Zidane, Rui Costa, gascoyne and Beckham, these midfielders have also made indelible achievements in the research and development of Falcon series.
Asymmetric upper and foot
1998, adidas introduced a football shoe called accelerator to welcome the 1998 World Cup. In this pair of shoes, the popular Tianzu technology was introduced for the first time, and the asymmetric shoelace design was also used for the first time. The idea of Tianzu Technology is to make the wearer feel comfortable, as if his feet were stepping on the ground directly. This is actually a outsole technology. Only a few feet touch the ground, and the sign is the face with big soles and small feet. But this technology was not developed by Adidas, but by another company. However, Adidas is not full of high cost, so the production of Tianzu series football shoes finally stopped.
Asymmetric lacing means that the front end of the sole is inclined and the rear end is straight. The inclination of the front end keeps the stress direction of shoelaces parallel to the heel of toes, makes the stress of shoes consistent with the forefoot, and enhances synchronization. The straight tube design at the instep ensures the reliable and perfect fit between the vamp and instep, which is completely consistent with the stress of the foot, ensuring the flexibility of the foot and ensuring the effective force of the foot. This technology continues to this day.
