Adidas just revealed that they have created a new special cushioning that gives runners energy as they push off during their stride for their Energy Boost running shoe. The shoe attempts to bring together cushioning and responsiveness in a single shoe.

This emerging technology will really increase Adidas' income if runners believe this new technology is worth the money.

This technology is very interesting. This just shows that Nike is not the only innovator when it comes to mixing sports equipment with technology.

This will be big. Anytime something like this (gimmick or otherwise) comes out it always blows up and it'll definitely be big in the market in the near future

I think Adidas did a great job in marketing this emerging new product. By relating the emerging technology to a popular athlete, Adidas is getting more press for their product, and making their emerging product popular.

Perhaps this will be the next big thing? This may lead to a new wave of technology kind of like how under armor's dry fit clothes have.

I could definitely see this technology catching on in the upcoming years. I also think its a good marketing tactic on Adidas's part to stay in competition with Nike's dominance in the shoe industry.

This is a really interesting emerging technology and it reminds me of when Nike Shox were first released. After doing some reading on them, I think they could be just as popular in a few years.
