Smart wearable devices have emerged frequently in recent years, and manufacturers have made all kinds of devices that you can imagine. Since the smart bracelet has occupied the wrist of the trendy people, there has been a call for smart running shoes among the consumer groups, and the cooperation between Xiaomi and Li Ning has taken the advantage of the situation. Two "enthusiasts" in their respective fields have officially set sail on the journey of building a foundation since the beginning of the year, Born for running, whether smart wear and running shoes can ignite a new smart wear market, this article takes the trial experience of red rabbit running shoes as the starting point to discuss. Let's take a look at the experience evaluation of Bug, Red Rabbit, how to take a step forward!

Intelligent running shoes: first of all, it should reflect that this is a running shoe

Running is no stranger to everyone. As a necessary equipment for running, a pair of good running shoes make running more comfortable and refreshing. Major traditional running shoe manufacturers have tried their best to find various GEL shock absorbers The WAVE structure, Zoom air cushion and other technologies are widely used in running shoes. The new technology has brought an unprecedented experience to running, making running more safe and healthy. However, this new technology is not in the material and structure design of the shoes, but in the addition of a "core", which can monitor the running state of runners. This seems to be the same as the smart bracelet, However, from the market point of view, there are many factors that affect the monitoring of smart bracelets in the process of sports, but smart running shoes have a stronger advantage in collecting sports data through the built-in chip, so after establishing the market demand for smart running shoes, the functional experience will determine the success or failure of the product.

The trial Red Rabbit intelligent running shoes are not official retail products. The packaging is a bit pricked, but there is no need to dwell on it. The focus of the experience is on shoes, not boxes. Open the packaging box, and the fluorescent green version of Red Rabbit will make a beautiful appearance. In addition to shoes, there is a small packaging box containing the smart core of Red Rabbit, Huami Smart Core

This red rabbit is mainly lightweight. In appearance, compared with Liejun, a professional running shoe, it looks more elegant, has more beautiful colors, and is less flowery. The whole shoe type has some similar characteristics with Li Ning's new products in the season. The vamp is made of breathable mesh, leather and rubber materials, which can not only play a decorative role, but also play a better role in protection, The air in the shoes can also circulate quickly, reducing the stuffy feeling during exercise

It is self-evident that the soles of a running shoe are of great importance. If the soles are not flexible and easy to bend, the strength will be concentrated on the soles of the feet during running, which is easy to cause fatigue and injury. The soles of the Red Rabbit running shoes are made of ultra light rubber, and the midsole is made of a new generation of foaming material FoamEvaLite, which is very light and elastic, It can effectively alleviate the impact of decentralized feet. At the same time, Probaroc high-strength wear-resistant rubber can provide proper support and protection for the arch of the foot in every step of walking, improve stability, and effectively reduce arch fatigue. Therefore, the wearer is more comfortable. At the same time, according to the ergonomic characteristics, a multi-directional bending groove is designed on the sole, which also conforms to the positioning of entry-level running shoes, Make runners more comfortable and labor-saving

Chitu's toe cap and heel are made of super fiber synthetic leather. The mesh hot film on the shoe body can bring the runner an ultimate wrapping experience. The heel is made of chronic memory rebound foam, which can bring very good wrapping to the ankle. In addition, there is a reflective area on the toe cap, which is safer during night running

The laces are decorated with orange dotted stripes, which are fashionable and beautiful. The tongue is also designed with a mesh surface with good breathability. The interior is pasted with Li Ning's QR code and standard foot code correspondence table. This shoe code is European standard 39

Compared with the previous style, the red rabbit insole uses foam materials with better elasticity, the arc design is more close to the foot, and the overall cushioning of the sole has also been improved to a certain extent. Its surface uses special technology to achieve bacteriostasis, quick drying, odor absorption and other functions. Take out the insole of the right foot, you can see the chip slot of the insole, and design a pull strap, Pull the belt to take out the model in the chip card slot. In addition, the blue origin seen at the heel looks like an EVA damping module to enhance the heel cushioning effect

Smart Core: What the hell is Huami Smart Core

From the above product details, we can see that in terms of running shoes, the materials and design of Red Rabbit intelligent running shoes reflect the level of Li Ning's running shoes. In the intelligent part, this running shoes are monitored by Huami Smart Core, which is specially developed for running shoes. It is also very promising.

The words LI-NING SMART are printed on the front of the small package box, and its "∞" sign shows that Li Ning should have a series of smart products. The back label can see the matching requirements and production information of Huami Smart Core. This Huami Smart Core was developed by Huami Technology, that is, the company that produced Xiaomi bracelet, and its research and development ability is still strong, It is said that Huami Smart Core adopts the special meter movement algorithm 2.0, which is the product of the big data analysis of 15 million users of Xiaomi bracelet. Such a monitoring equipment is quite expected

Unpack the package and take out the smart chip and the manual. The manual is concise and comprehensive, and its use is not complicated. The front of the smart chip is marked with Li Ning's logo, and the back is connected with a two-dimensional code. The size of the smart chip is exactly the same as the size of the model. As such a sensor placed in the shoe, the smart chip can also be perfectly installed in the slot in the shoe, Note that the Li Ning logo is facing up. In order to ensure reliable operation, it supports IPX7 waterproof. It can still work normally after being placed in a water depth of 3 meters for 30 minutes. The built-in battery has a long standby time and can be used for one year without problems

Practical experience: where is the market demand for intelligent running shoes

Do running shoes need intelligence? What's the use of intelligence? Will the price be outrageous? These issues have always been debated before the development of intelligent running shoes, but any new things need to be tried by pioneers to develop. This Red Rabbit intelligent running shoes are designed and manufactured by Li Ning, a domestic professional sports product manufacturer, and developed by Huami Technology. The two strong teams focus on their own fields of expertise, In terms of products and channels, the effect of "1+1" is greater than "2", but the real market demand depends on the performance of products.

Open the mobile Xiaomi Sports APP, choose to add devices, add running shoes, choose Red Rabbit running shoes, scan the QR code on Huami Smart Core for binding, the steps are not complicated, and they can be done quickly

After connecting to Huami Smart Core, it is necessary to calibrate the running shoes before using them. The steps are also very simple. There is also clear graphic guidance on the APP. The calibration can be completed after standing still for 5 seconds with feet as wide as shoulders

The whole shoe is really light and suitable for jogging. If the Xiaomi bracelet is bound to the Xiaomi Sports APP, APP The walking data of the bracelet will be read by default. To view the data of the intelligent running shoes, you can enter the running shoes from my device to view, and the data is only the column chart of the day. If there is no Xiaomi bracelet bound, the data of the intelligent running shoes will be displayed in the APP by default, that is, the second page with Li Ning's logo in the above figure, where you can view the historical column chart of the day, And detailed records of the day

In addition to step recording, as a running shoe, of course, it is necessary to run two steps. Click to run in the main interface of the APP to enter the running interface. After starting the run, the interface will display the details of the run in real time, and you can pause halfway. You can also enter the cool map mode. After the run is completed, some monitoring data of the run will be displayed, in addition to time, pace, step frequency The conventional data of speed per hour and calorie consumption, as well as the more professional percentage of forefoot landing, but what does this mean, APP didn't tell me, and I didn't bother to ask Du Niang. At present, the significance of this red rabbit intelligent running shoes for ordinary users is to record steps. As for the data of front foot landing during running, there is no professional advice, so there is no egg

After running, you can view the list of previous running records in the history. If the data is synchronized by Li Ning's intelligent running shoes, there will be Li Ning's logo. In addition, you can also make the running records into watermark photos and share them with social networks. In this regard, this intelligent running shoe is quite interesting, but In terms of social function, it is still relatively weak at present. How to activate the running circle and become a sports sharing platform may play a role in expanding the market. In addition, the smart chip design of this smart running shoe has a mileage of 800 kilometers. After reaching the service life, the original slot model can be put inside and the running shoes can continue to be used, There is no problem, but the more accurate news is that this small smart chip will be sold separately. Then, for a running shoe, the pricing of such a consumable is also the key to occupy the market. However, at the price of 199 yuan of Red Rabbit, the price of smart chip should not be too expensive. When everything is ready, runners can start their smart journey on Red Rabbit

epilogue

In general, the red rabbit intelligent running shoes have bright and youthful colors, and are a fashionable running shoes suitable for daily wear. Their breathable mesh surface also has a good experience in summer. For a lightweight running shoe, the multi direction bending grooves on the red rabbit sole can improve the comfort of running, making running easier and more labor-saving, The new generation of FoamEvaLite foam material and ProBarLOC high-strength material in the midsole can indeed effectively cushion the impact of contact and relieve foot fatigue. However, the red rabbit sole is not thick, and its protection will be relatively reduced in long-distance running. Therefore, this intelligent running shoe is more suitable for low-intensity training. Considering the price of 199 yuan, The Red Rabbit is indeed a good alternative for entry-level running shoes.
