BASF Infinergy® in the “Energy Boost” from Adidas The German sports equipment manufacturer Adidas uses Infinergy® in its innovative “Energy Boost” running and golf shoe. As the material used in the midsole, Infinergy® makes the shoe comfortable to wear and delivers excellent running properties. The sole springs back into its original shape immediately after impact: thanks to this high rebound effect resulting from the resilience of the material, runners use up less energy than they did before.
