Description

Carnes said that as the first test of its kind on sports equipment, the company is still processing the test results for the ball. And they already have a different test planned.

While no release details are available yet, you can take a look at leaked photos of the NASA Artemis Program x adidas ZX 2k Boost down below courtesy of solebyjc (whose hangtag will not appear on the final model.) As always, stay tuned to Modern Notoriety for updates.

What seems like common sense about air moving around a simple sphere does not, in fact, bear true. The airflow around a sphere is not smooth; a great amount of drag is created behind the object. An example of this can be seen on a golf course, where a smooth golf ball travels much shorter distances than a regular, dimpled golf ball. The dimples on the ball’s surface agitate the air creating a smaller low-pressure wake behind the ball and decreasing drag, therefore increasing its distance. Without gravity distorting the shape and flight path of the ball and air resistance affecting the ball’s flight spin, researchers are able to concentrate on testing other variables.

The company also plans to explore the range of motion in the human body and how muscle development and atrophy are affected without gravity. Beyond the Earth’s atmosphere, extreme conditions in microgravity and temperature allow for unique exploratory testing that can only be achieved in space,” said Carnes. “This will manifest itself in technology and process innovations for how we make sneakers, advancements in apparel like compression garments, extreme temperature management of both footwear and apparel, and pioneering sustainable materials and circular processes.” This will have an impact on how we design and develop things like compression apparel for muscle enhancement and recovery,” Carnes said. “We are also inspired by the recent increase of women astronauts joining space programs, which could potentially enable exploration with a balanced look at specific biomechanical movements of both men and women throughout the entire journey.” Sports provide a great opportunity to introduce the next generation of researchers to our field of aerodynamics by showing them something they can relate to,” said Rabi Mehta, chief of the Experimental Aero-Physics Branch at NASA’s Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California. Aerodynamics is the study of how air and liquids, referred to collectively as “fluids” in aerodynamics research, flow around objects. Engineers at Ames, a world leader in fundamental aerodynamics research, possess an in-depth understanding of how fluids flow around simple three-dimensional shapes such as cylinders and spheres. With this knowledge, engineers can predict how even the minor alterations in these basic shapes change flow patterns.The two have redressed the adidas ZX 2K Boost, one of adidas’ flagship Boost lifestyle runners, to genuinely look like a crew shoe from a spaceflight mission. The model comes in a lunar grey and features high-tech orange accents at the shoe’s forefoot and heel. When taken in combination with a metallic Three Stripes logo and chrome-painted Boost, the model is a clear gaze towards the Moon and beyond (though it’s designed to serve you best on Earth). The collaboration is finished off with printed lunar insoles, grey rope laces with colored aglets, and rubberized Artemis Program/NASA branding on each tongue. adidas is set to release an extremely futuristic shoe in collaboration with NASA’s Artemis Program, an initiative to get “the first woman and the next man” up to the lunar south pole region of the Moon by 2024 (in preparation for future missions to Mars.) Adidas may be able to incorporate what they learn from these tests into the design of the panel shape of the ball, the surface and texture design, and the material to engineer future balls. We know that the space-based environment of the orbiting laboratory promotes profound changes that affect all scientific disciplines,” Kretz said. “What is exciting about this collaboration is the targeted nature of Adidas’ research with its Boost technology. What they learn could have very near-term impacts on the company’s future product lines that could benefit athletes all over the world.” There is a thin layer of air that forms near the ball’s surface called the boundary layer and it is the state and behavior of that layer that is critical to the performance of the ball,” said Mehta. “The materials used, the ball’s surface roughness and its distribution determines its aerodynamics.”

The players should be happier with the new ball,” predicted Mehta. “It is more stable in flight and will handle more like a traditional 32-panel ball.”
