Nike rely on the rule of protecting environment on re-use Air Max 2009 to Air Max 24-7 project

 

In mordern society, serious environmental pollution haunt people. Goveronment put policy to make sure that factories not random release of pollutants. Doctors research the chemical composition of products that do not harm to human body. Manafactors actively invest in environmental protection so that reassured customers to buy their products. From 1990s till now, there are more than ten factories to do so, the best one who comply with this rule is nike air max shoes.

 As part of the NIKE78 project, designer Nick Marsh took Nike's challenge of hacking a pair of shoes to create something new, infusing them with parts taken from a Nintendo Wii. The result is a pair of interactive footwear that can control characters in a Wii game, based on the wearer's movements. As more advanced systems like the upcoming Microsoft Kinect platform reach the consumer market at affordable prices, we expect to see a number of innovative developments take shape which take advantage of natural, playful motions to create compelling experiences. We also anticipate ideas like the above, integrating systems for capturing and analyzing fitness behavior over time as well, perhaps by hacking Nike+ functionality into part of the game. Really funny with it, from development of Nike Air Max shoes, Nike78 prject is not a new part of Nike shoes, just a re-use of Nike shoes, which based on the policy Nike promised.

As the best sport shoes in the sportworld, Nike has changed their ways of manufactory direction. From Nike Air-the first Nike basketball shoes to Nike Football Shoes, Nike has shown their powers of creativity. Many youngers buy Nike just because shoes' stylish appearance, but for more adult they must make sure that air max shoes is good for their health. Recently, Nike shoes cooperate with ipod and new technology with wii parts - it is hard for people to test this products without consider their health problem.

Old running shoes are dropped off at collection sites around the world. The company offers a mail-in option for individual's not located near a collection site. The shoes are then delivered to Nike's Wilsonville, Oregon facility and the Meerhout, Belgium facility. Shoes are separated into three parts, and then ground up. Every part, of the old shoes, is recycled into Nike Grind.The Nike Re-Use a Shoe Program is part of Nike's Considered Design Program, where the company makes high performance products while creating the smallest environmental impact possible. Nike's Considered Design goals of eliminating toxic substances, reducing waste, and using a higher volume of sustainable materials, are the cornerstone of the Re-Use a Shoe recycling program.

It is a project to protect environment, also a recycling of Nike shoes. The old discontinued Nike series is a waste to backlog in the warehouse, with the recycling, it can produced to new high technology Nike series. Instead of play Nike Shoes Sale game to deceive consumers, Nike78 the shoe which cooporate with new technology can expand nike air max 24-7 market to game fans. For other manufactors, this method may lead them to consider of changing their ways of manufacoty to an environmental sustainable development.

Design and the World Cup: Best and Worst

No sooner does one World Cup end, than the designers at sports brands like nike air max  and Puma start to develop new boots, balls, shirts, socks, towels and whatever else might be needed for the next one. The investment is huge, but so are the rewards, though World Cup design flops can be equally spectacular. So what are the winning and losing designs in this tournament?

Nike air max 90 again. Firstly, it scores eco-points for making its 2010 World Cup shirts from recycled polyester. Each shirt is made from up to eight plastic bottles, rescued from landfill sites in Japan and Taiwan, then melted down to produce polyester yarn. Nike claims that this will save as many as 13 million plastic bottles from clogging up landfill sites, as well as using 30 percent less energy.

Secondly, Nike air max shoes scoops my personal prize for designing the most stylish shirt. Infuriating though it was to see its wearer play quite so well in his team’s opening game against (my favorite) England, it goes to the graphically patterned orange and black shirt of the American goalkeeper, Tim Howard. Even the patterned sleeves have a practical purpose. The contrasting colors and shapes were designed to attract the attention of menacing strikes, and then to distract them, because the fragmented pattern distorts the goalie’s silhouette. This makes the striker — or so Nike’s color theory goes — likelier to kick the ball nearer to the keeper.  

The designer — Gaby de Abreu of the Johannesburg design group Switch — did at least try to liven it up by depicting a map of Africa in the colors of the South African flag. But the end result is too fussy, and blunders by showing a soccer player doing an illegal “bicycle kick.” That said, this logo isn’t as bad as London 2012’s atrocity. It commits the lesser design crime of being as mediocre as its predecessors. Can you remember any of them? Thought not. Depressingly, it has been all of 40 years since the design of the most memorable World Cup logo — the deconstructed ball and trippily striped lettering of the emblem of the 1970 tournament in Mexico.

Now for that ball. FIFA, the World Cup organizer, commissions a new ball for every tournament in return for a multimillion-dollar licensing fee from the manufacturer — usually Adidas. A blazing argument over the ball’s design has become a World Cup ritual as the players adjust to it. The loudest grumbles come from goalies, who usually complain that it swerves, spins or slips too much.

That is exactly what happened in 2006, Wholesale Air Max 2009 and has happened again with Adidas’s new Jabulani ball, though the criticism has been unusually fierce this time. That said, some experts believe that the problems stem not from the ball, but the dramatic difference in altitude between the South African cities where the games are played. “The ball is likely to swerve less in Johannesburg, fly higher. Its position could change by two diameters in a typical goal shot, which is confusing. We saw the same problems in the 1978 World Cup in Argentina, the last one when altitude was a key factor.”

Mr. Haake is confident that the players will adjust to the impact of changing altitude as the tournament continues. But it will take rather longer for sports scientists and designers to crack the underlying problem — the extreme complexity of the aerodynamics of spheres, including soccer balls. Brace yourself for another storm over ball design at the 2014 World Cup.

Any skeptics who’re wondering what design has to do with sport should consider the following. What was the best-designed World Cup? Mexico in 1970, not just because of the logo, but the Telstar ball that has been the default design for soccer balls ever since. And which World Cup treated us to the best air max 2009? Ditto.

Will the Knicks make the playoffs in US?

The Knicks are brand new. Fresh out the oven, piping hot, clean waxed, new car smell, brand spankin' new. And that's certainly a good thing as all but the last remnants of the epic failboat that was built there over the last decade have been cleansed and a new team stand in its place, faster, younger, and better built to contend. The Knicks have a bonafide star in Amar'e Stoudemire, nike air max   a solid point guard in Raymond Felton, a tantalizing wing in Danilo Gallinari, a workhorse in Ronny Turiaf, a floor-spreader in Kelenna Azubuike, and whatever you would call Anthony Randolph.


 The questions are, first, is this team good enough to make the playoffs, and two, is there room in the playoffs for them? Let's work backwards.

If we're looking at potential playoff teams, the traditional approach is to take last year's crew, throw out anyone that isn't going to make the cut, then add the new entrants based on likelihood. Well, I think we can go ahead and toss the Cavs out of the  nike air max 2010 "definite" category and into the "maybe" pack down there with the Knicks. Celtics are a lock, Magic are a lock, the Hawks are a near-lock with only a chemistry-based nuclear meltdown as the variable in question. The Bulls are a lock with their additions in place. It's hard to say that the Bucks will take a step back, we'll put them in "near-lock" with the Hawks. The Bobcats haven't lost anyone beside Felton outside of Tyson Chandler, who rarely played for them anyway due to injury. Felton's loss is significant, but counting out Larry Brown before the season gets started is something that's gone on a lot the last few years and worked out badly each time. And you know, I think Miami just might be a lock too, you know, if things go well and all.

The second question is if the Knicks will be good enough. From that standpoint, there are positive, but liquid, signs. The Knicks won 29 games last season, leaving them 11 out of the playoffs. Think about that. A team with Chris Duhon, Al Harrington, and air max 2009 Wilson Chandler as the big contributors won 29 games. You can put almost any lineup on the floor in the NBA regular season and win close to 20 games. That's what made the Nets so remarkable.

This team is much better developed to run Mike D'Antoni's system, with Azubuike and Gallinari spreading the floor from the perimeter, Randolph running the floor and filling gaps, Felton running the pick and roll, and Amar'e finishing with a flourish. Throw in Chandler, who in a backup role is much more appealing, nike air max 24-7 Ronny Turiaf as a capable rebounding center, and Toney Douglas as a combo guard with athleticism. That's a solid D'Antoni built team. The floor for this team is likely still a six game improvement over last season, but its ceiling is probably high enough to make the seventh seed.

 Amar'e Stoudemire should make a huge difference. Surrounding a single star player with even semi-competent role players is usually enough for 20-25 wins. Don't believe me? nike air max 2009 The Clippers made the playoffs with Elton Brand, flanked by Sam Cassell and Cuttino Mobley. Or, just take a look at the Miami Heat over the past two seasons. From there, you're looking at 17-22 wins the rest of the new Knicks are going to have to generate.

There are still questions galore about this team. Can they defend, at all? Can they rebound? Will they stay healthy enough? Can Amar'e really thrive without Steve Nash? Is Felton enough of an upgrade at point to have the system function? What role will Eddy Curry play? Okay, I'm kidding on that last one. No one asks that. But there are doubts as to whether the Knicks will be anything more than air max 90 the best lottery team next season. But taking a look over the East, it's hard to say they won't be right there for the playoffs if things go according to plan.
