is there a cushioning difference in the AJ Fusions as compared to regular air force ones?

don't think someone with that level of education would ever call it a "bubble" and introduce it to Mr. Knight as such.
You'd be looked at very oddly, and quite possibly corrected, if you said that to a Campus employee. It's simply not a choice. The correct terminology is Air-Sole unit, Air cushioning unit, or Air Unit.
this is so pompous, it's not even funny.
bubbles pop, burst, and deflate......reminds me of many nike products with the air technology.
This sounds quite interesting. Are there any models currently in stores that incorporate shox experience +?Originally Posted by MenofOregon
The Nike SHOX Experience+ is a combination of all three cushioning systems, SHOX, Air Max, and Zoom. It's designed to give your feet a very plushed ride when running. The SHOX are not turned into "bubbles". Please refer to my original post about "bubbles".Originally Posted by aelione ingersol
why did nike turn new shox into bubbles? now there are too many bubbles.

I would like for no one to ever use the term 'bred' to talk about a black/red shoe. Please only use 'black/red' from now on.
Does that mean it's going to happen? Even if I ask nicely, will it happen?
Absolutely not.
While I appreciate the knowledge you've shared on the different technologies, I hope you realize that it won't stop people from using the term 'bubble'.
We, however, did NOT ever give a nickname for our Air cushioning units at any point in time. It was always named an Air-Sole unit since it was introduced to us by former NASA engineer Frank Rudy. I don't think someone with that level of education would ever call it a "bubble" and introduce it to Mr. Knight as such.

ya but the fact that it could pop at one time, it's been called a bubble.

Our designers, engineers, scientists, testers, EKINS, etc. don't like the use of the word "bubble" to describe our Air Units. It is not a "bubble". A bubble is what you blow from chewing gum. It is called an Air Unit. With respect to their college degrees in various sciences, hard work, and countless hours of research, we prefer to use the proper name when referring to our Air Units.(Encapsulated Air, Visible Air, Tuned Air, Max Air, Tube Air, Blow Molded Air, Zoom Air) Thanks!
Jesus. How pompous! thanks, I will file this along side Helio's "don't call us a phone company." I wouldn't want my casual references toundermine these guy's hard work and diplomas. I sure wouldn't want these guys to scoff at a reference about shoes amongst sneaker fans. I mean youwouldn't ever want to go on a Sharper Image forum and make reference to your "massage chair". hell no. that's a comfort-matic-lambskinmicroscopic tingling finger knot kneading electro barca with swedish sure-grip suck machine attachments. "massage chair." haha.
Come to think of it, I've only seen Tuned Air at Foot Locker and Champs as well. That may be true. Has anyone else seen it at other stores?Originally Posted by STORM RYDER
Great post MenOfOregon!!
I was under the impression that Tuned Air was a collaboration or made exclusively for footlocker.
I noticed that Nike has recently changed thier dri-fit to Fit-Dri. What are the main changes or improvements? or was it a pure marketing decision to change the name?
Also, can you give us a bit of insight into the "Lunar Foam" that is used in the upcoming Hyperdunk?
Thanks!
Haven't heard that one before. Although I don't know how it would apply to the Air units? There aren't any pockets of air. It's usuallya whole chamber of Air, sometimes with segmented areas.Originally Posted by Cement Greyman
....is air pocket ok to say?
I'm not sure I understand your question. Phylite is a newer midsole material.Originally Posted by GregOdensBedpan
i know nike trainers such as the edge trainer 08 and the free trainer 7.0 utilize phylite as a form of lateral stability. can you elaborate what phylite is and how rigid it is, compared to traditional stability webs or torsion bars found in new balance shoes? thanks.
Yes, all Air Jordans have Air in the midsole. Unfortunately, the AJ I and the AJ II have very, very minimal Air in it. It's "borderline"to say that it even has cushioning.Originally Posted by NYCZ ILLEST

I don't know anything about Jordans, but do they have air units in them too since they are called Air Jordans? They look like they don't from the outside visibly.

That's not a sign of respect to the many years that they've given to your life. It's a matter of respect to all who are involved with the whole process.
dude. listen to yourself. this is hilarious.
