Adidas Olympic shoes feature Bayer coating
The new adipure line of training shoes from adidas use a
textile coating based on a polyurethane dispersion from Bayer MaterialScience’s
Impranil range.
The shoes are designed to support natural running through
a rolling motion over the metatarsus and forefoot. The coated upper material of
the shoe envelops the foot seamlessly like a second skin, offering high
resilience. According to Bayer, it braces the foot without restricting freedom
of movement.
