The high-tech sneakers of Usain Bolt


Usain Bolt is one of the highest performing athletes in the world, is the fastest man on the planet. Period.

For the twelfth edition of the IAAF athletics championships, the German brand PUMA has developed a shoe called Yaam with the latest technology and custom foot Bolt. Have a weight of only 149 grams, the base is constructed of carbon fiber, resulting in lightweight and flexibility of the shoe that Bolt is equal to greater momentum and traction with each step.

The decor is not random, since it is based on the art of Jeff Koons, and orange colors were intended to contrast with the blue track of the Olympic Stadium in Berlin on Sunday where Bolt broke the 100m world record levels.

The price? Very expensive, but Puma will sell to the rest of us a shoe that is call Yaam Street.
