ISPO Award 2018 names winners of products of the year
January 27, 2018 - Germany
ISPO Award 2018, all-season guide to sports products for the coming season and a seal quality for sporting goods industry, has announced the names of the winners of the ‘Products of the Year’ named by the specialist jury. The awards will be presented at ISPO Munich, which will be held from January 28 to 31, 2018, to be held in Germany, in hall B1.
The most innovative products in the Health & Fitness, Outdoor, Snowsports, Urban, and Team & Social Sports segments are chosen from around 500 entries. A separate ECO jury focuses on sustainability.
The technology for individualised running shoes from HP’s FitStation stores won the award in Health & Fitness category. Customers get a tailor-made running shoe geared to their needs—from the size to the shape. Everything is manufactured on site while the customer waits in the store. An in-store retail solution which combines 3D scanning, gait analysis, and dynamic production technologies.
Tecnica’s Forge S, the first anatomically adaptable trekking shoe, won the award in the Outdoor category. Thanks to the unique, patented C.A.S technology (Custom Adaptive Shape), retailers can adjust the fit and footbed to the anatomical needs of the customer in just 20 minutes. Thermoformable material on the heel, inside of the foot and ankle is heated and adapts to the customer’s individual foot shape. The shoe then cools down and retains its shape.
The ski and snowboard core technology FUS3D from CIME Industries and CAPITA Mfg., won in the Snowsport category. The FUS3D technology uses a 3D printing technique called FDM (Fused Deposition Modelling) in order to connect a recyclable thermoplastic side wall to the wooden core. The patented process improves the durability of the FUS3D cores as well as the flexibility and reactivity of the core.
Maxi Grip, the first resin-free handball from Select won in the Team & Social Sports category. Maxi Grip is a newly developed handball with a unique sticky surface for excellent grip. The surface sticks when the ball is caught. If the ball is thrown back, it leaves no residue on players’ hands.
The BH51M Helmetphone smart cycle helmet from Livall won the prize in the Urban category. The helmet is ideal for cyclists who would like to listen to music and make calls without taking their hands off the handlebars. Two chains of bright LED lights on the rear side also allow riders to signal that they are turning off at the push of a button. (GK)
