Walking is fitness in its simplest form. All you need to
participate are a good pair of walking shoes and a good sense
of
direction. Because there are over 29 million fitness walkers
in the
United States today, it's no wonder more and more people are
demanding
well cushioned, comfortable, high performance walking shoes.
NIKE, known for technical and
innovative product around the world, has
specifically designed its walking shoes and apparel to meet the
needs of
walkers at all levels. NIKE walking shoes feature comfortable
uppers,
superior cushioning and great flexibility to maximize and enhance
the
most rigourous walking workout.--From a Nike Walking brochure
(c. 1990)
THE DESIGN OF NIKE-AIR
An AIR-SOLE unit contains a special
gas which is pressurized inside a
tough, flexible and elastic urethane skin. When incorporated
into the
midsold construction of NIKE footwear, the AIR-SOLE unit protects
the
foot against impact shock and necer compacts throughout the life
of the shoe.
WALKING SHOE WASHABILITY
Durabuck is a feature in many
of Nike's shoes. This material is
extremely comfortable, lightweight and durable, but its advantage
over
leather is that it is completely washable. Simply cover each
shoe with a
sock to prevent scuffing, wash as usual with cold water and let
the shoes air dry.
