Adidas 1

Adidas 1

The adidas 1 is a Trainer (more accurately, "running shoe") made by adidas, introduced in early 2005. It is the first general consumer sneaker to incorporate a computer.

Technology

Requiring three years of development prior to release, the shoe adjusts itself after each stride, using a motor in the middle of the sole. The motor turns a screw, which in turn lengthens or shortens a cable, changing the compression characteristics of the heel pad.

However, it comes at a high price: $250.

The changes are guided by a sensor in the heel, which determines how much the heel is compressed on each stride.

The shoe is battery-powered, and lasts for approximately 100 hours of running.

Intelligence Level 1.1

On 25 November 2005, Adidas released a new version of the adidas 1.

The improved "intelligence level 1.1" makes the adidas 1 better, stronger and faster. There is an increased range of cushioning - meaning the shoe can become even softer or firmer - and a new motor with 153 percent more torque.
