The Nike Air Zoom Pulse is a Shoe Made For Medical Professionals
Nike is known for creating shoes and trainers for runners, basketball players, football players and a wide range of activities. But for their latest range, it's all about the unsung heroes working in hospitals. The new range dubbed 'Air Zoom Pulse' is aimed towards the medical workers facing a variety of challenges on their 12 hour+ shifts, primarily being the comfort and support. Made with the help of OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital, the shoe features an easy slip on and off design that's a must, especially in life or death situations. The designers of the Air Zoom Pulse found that Nurses for example, walk approximately four to five miles and sit for less than half an hour during the course of a 12 hour shift. The design of the shoe tackles those kind of challenges with simplicity in mind.
