ANTA Elevates PG7 Technology with "Cushion Evolution" Global Relay Run Kickoff

XIAMEN, China, May 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- PG7 is the groundbreaking midsole technology launched by global sportswear brand ANTA in 2024, which set a new cushioning benchmark with a Peak Gravity (PG) value of 7.8. Peak Gravity, for anyone unfamiliar with the term, is how industry experts measure cushion performance. The lower the PG value, the better the cushioning performance. Since the start of the new year, ANTA has pushed the physical limits even further by reducing PG value to 7.6, redefining impact absorption to deliver greater cushioning, enhanced comfort, and superior stability for performance footwear.

"PG7 Cushion Evolution" Global Relay Run Hits 12 Global Cities

With the release of the upgraded Travel Step 2 running shoes featuring PG7 midsole technology, ANTA launched the global relay run "PG7 CUSHION EVOLUTION," bringing its breakthrough technology to runners in cities including Shanghai, Addis Ababa, Hanoi, Dubai, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Manila, San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, New York, and Los Angeles.

The relay kicked off in Shanghai on April 12, when runners witnessed two engaging and intuitive live experiments demonstrating PG7's impact-absorbing capabilities. In one demonstration, raw eggs dropped from 3 feet remained intact on PG7 material while raw eggs dropped from the same height cracked on standard EVA foam. In another, a smartphone screen wrapped in PG7 material withstood repeated blows from a 30-pound hammer.

The "PG7 Cushion Evolution" relay moved onto Chicago, San Francisco and other iconic running cities throughout April. In Boston, during the prestigious Boston Marathon, ANTA welcomed global runners to experience the PG7 cushioning and ANTA Challenge Series professional racing shoes. The momentum continued in Brooklyn, NY, where ANTA partnered with the Midnight Runners club to host an open community run, bridging cultures through a shared passion for running.

Upgraded PG7 Tech & Travel Step 2: Greater Cushioning, Wider Fit, Better Grip

A seemingly small drop from 7.8 to 7.6 results in a significant improvement in cushioning performance. The upgraded PG7 midsole disperses impact more efficiently and delivers even more exceptional energy return. Featuring an enhanced "wide toe box" design, the shoes offer a more comfortable fit for a wider range of foot shapes. An improved A-Grip rubber outsole delivers better traction with a wider profile, while the asymmetric 3D-structured heel stabilizer improves landing stability through ergonomic support.

Wherever a runner's stride can reach, ANTA aspires to go. "Our goal with PG7 is simple: Put the right shoe on every runner's feet," says Samuel Tsui, CEO of ANTA Brand.

PG7 connects runners to the ground they traverse. From its inception to its upgrade, PG7 reflects ANTA's commitment to making high-performance technology accessible to everyday runners and inspiring exploration beyond limits.

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Guide Sensmart (Booth 21740, Central Hall), a global leader in thermal imaging technology, officially launched its next-generation thermal imaging innovation – ApexVision – alongside a series of new products empowered by the technology. This launch represents a systemic leap for the industry from merely "seeing heat" to "seeing with clarity, precision, and intelligence," marking the dawn of a new era defined by Ultra-Clarity.

CES Show Floor Reaction: "Ultra-Clarity" Draws Deep Engagement

At the Guide Sensmart booth, live product demonstrations powered by ApexVision attracted strong attention from industry analysts to global media. Hands-on comparisons—such as maintaining clear imaging details of distant targets and delivering crisp, smear-free imaging of fast-moving objects—earned consistent praise. Many professional visitors noted that this reliable "what-you-see-is-what-you-get" clarity would directly enhance operational efficiency and decision-making confidence.

ApexVision integrating both hardware and software: It combines the high-sensitivity ApexCore S1 detector, the Nexus 1.0 processing platform, and scenario-optimized algorithms. Together, ApexVision successfully overcomes persistent challenges such as low contrast in complex environments, detail loss at long range or high magnification, motion blur on fast-moving objects, and inaccurate detection of minute temperature differences.

From Architecture to Application: A Full Portfolio Empowered

On the CES show floor, Guide Sensmart demonstrated how ApexVision delivers tangible improvements across thermal devices. Thermography tools (e.g. E3S, H6S thermal cameras) leverage the SharpIR 2.0 algorithm to provide stable, accurate temperature measurement in demanding environments, enabling inspectors to pinpoint hidden faults with greater confidence. Outdoor hunting optics (e.g. TD650LS monocular and TN650MS binocular), benefit from Hyper-Light 2.0, allowing users to identify nocturnal wildlife in complete darkness and track fast-moving targets while maintaining clean, sharp images even at 10× zoom.

"The launch of ApexVision marks a milestone where our vertically integrated technology development translates into real value for users," said a Guide Sensmart spokesperson. "It is more than a set of specifications—it delivers the certainty of Ultra-Clarity to every professional user."

The debut of ApexVision at CES 2026 signifies more than a routine product update. By resolving long-standing trade-offs between sensitivity, stability, and environmental robustness, Guide Sensmart is advancing thermal imaging into the Ultra-Clarity Era, building a clearer, safer, and more efficient future.
