The adiPure Trainer has been developed by combining the benefits of barefoot training with path breaking design innovations to activate and strengthen muscles in the lower body. Unlike regular training footwear, the minimalistic design of the adiPure Trainer allows unrestricted natural motion and builds balance, foot strength and dexterity preventing chances of injury in the long run.
"A lot of engineering went into making your foot a high performance machine," said Mark Verstegen, founder of Athletes' Performance who helped design the shoe. "To achieve your full potential during a workout, focus on how your foot interacts with the ground in the same way you think about how your hand interacts with a ball or a bat. Using your foot's natural power and movement will help you strengthen muscles you never knew you had in your feet, lower legs and throughout your core."
Talking about the shoe he has been using for almost 3 weeks now Indian cricketer and adidas athlete Suresh Raina said, "When I tested out the adipure I could immediately feel the muscles in my feet and legs were getting a different kind of workout. For a sport like cricket, lower body strength and balance is extremely important and the adiPure Trainer works the muscles in the lower body like a song. We have a crucial Tour to Australia coming up and every improvement in my training regimen to better prepare for the season will pay off on the field".
Talking about the adiPure Trainer, Tushar Goculdas, Brand Director adidas India said, "Be it on the field of play or in the gym, our feet absorb a lot of impact while we are on the move. The adiPure Trainer is built to strengthen leg muscles and provide stability and flexibility to our feet. Every design element, right from the flexible outsole to the EVA mid sole comes together to provide the ultimate training experience.Inspired from the effectiveness of barefoot training, but created with pioneeringfootwear technology, this shoe willtransform the way we train and help outperform."
The adiPure Trainer is priced at Rs. 4,999 and is available in 2 colors for men and 1 color for women. It will be retailed across at all adidas Sports Performance outlets in the country.
