The running shoes developed by Giugiaro Design and Kappa, in collaboration with the N.A.S.A.<\/p>\n
Kappa<\/em> is world-wide famous for its sports apparels. In the early ’80s the Turin-based company asked Giugiaro Design to develop running shoes featuring new materials developped in a joint research with N.A.S.A.<\/strong><\/p>\n The result is the sports shoes called U.S. Carbo <\/em>and U.S. One<\/em>. <\/p>\n The soles<\/strong> of the U.S. Carbo <\/em>are of double layer <\/strong>construction, have small holes of varying density and are made of materials which include carbon<\/strong> wrapped inside epoxy polymer.<\/strong> This technological innovation satisifes two necessary conditions in the design of sports shoes. That is, it has the effect of quickening<\/strong> the return action of the knees for an increase in dash power, and of decreasing<\/strong> running resistance which prevents pain in the calves.<\/p>\n On the other hand, U.S. One<\/em> was designed for snugger fit<\/strong> around the feet by placing the shoestrings in a position which is lower thant that found in conventional running shoes.<\/p>\n The special materials and cross-sectional profiles chosen for both the U.S. Carbo <\/em>and U.S. One <\/em>are effective in eliminating obstructions to natural feet movements and blockage of perspiration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The running shoes developed by Giugiaro Design and Kappa, in collaboration with the N.A.S.A.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2412,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"project-brand":[157],"project-category":[5],"class_list":["post-2411","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project-brand-kappa","project-category-product"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
