Elevate your game with the adidas Intelligent 1.1 Basketball Shoe. Designed in an eye-catching, innovative black synthetic material, these shoes sense and adapt to your every step. A magnetic sensor in the heel monitors your impact every time your foot touches the hardwood. This sensor sends information to a microprocessor, which then directs a motor-driven cable system to adjust cushioning accordingly. Grabbing a rebound, tossing in a jump shot, even taking the occasional jump-all will never feel the same again. Featuring a non-marking rubber outsole, padded ankle, and the signature adidas three-bar design, this is the high-performance basketball shoe of the future.
Product Description
Back in your grandpa's balling days, the computerized technology needed to operate one of the adidas 1.1 men's basketball shoes would've made it the size of a gymnasium and required a team of highly trained scientists feeding it stacks of punch cards every time you took a step. Imagine shooting a lay-up in a pair of those babies, and you'll realize the good old days weren't all that great. Nowadays, you can get that power in the soles of your normal-sized shoes, dedicated only to giving your feet a little extra comfort and support on the court with absolutely no punch cards required.The adidas 1.1 men's basketball shoes feature intelligent cushioning, which is a magnetic sensor in the shoe's heel that measures the impact of each step and feeds the data to a microprocessor which calculates the amount of cushioning you need for that particular moment. Then a motor-driven cable system responds, fine-tuning the amount of tension provided by your insole cushioning cylinder. Then you take another step, and the process begins again, constantly tweaking the shoe to ensure you the best possible cushioning for every moment you're on the court. We're talking about technology better than the space program had 50 years ago, dedicated solely to keeping your feet comfy when you're charging the lane or even just shuffling your feet at the charity stripe. The future is a beautiful thing.
