Design & Summary (Draft 1)


In the article “Smart Running Shoes: Will They Change The Way You Run”, Lin (2017) comments that the advancement of smart technology in running shoes can enhance user’s performance. In 2012, popular sport brand such as UnderArmour (UA) released their UA Speedform Gemini 2 smart shoes which can display data such as muscle exhaustion, “cadence and pace” and monitor the “shoe’s mileage” through their mobile app such as MapMyRun. In 2017, Altra smart shoes took it up a notch by not only making their footwear stylish, but also implementing sensors that detect irregular foot patterns and warn user through their “built-in” sole voice assistant to correct their footsteps and pacing. The voice assistant can encourage runners and avoid runners from any cumulative injury. On top of that the shoe also compromises breathability and feathery features that enhance user's comfortability.
