the alluring touch of codoon green codoon smart running shoes 10k
Prologue | First Encounter
The first time I saw the Codoon Smart Running Shoes 10K (hereinafter referred to as 10K) was on JD Crowdfunding. I confirmed with my eyes and was immediately attracted by its fresh color and beautiful appearance. As always, I bought it without hesitation!
Introduction | Anticipation
This time, I got the Codoon Green, which is very fitting and matches Codoon's logo perfectly. I believe it is also the favorite choice of many Codoon friends. Perhaps due to its high sales, it took more than a month from ordering to finally receiving it.
Unlike the gray-green mix of the Smart Running Shoes RF, the 10K uses an all-green packaging, giving a refreshing feeling.
The side nameplate indicates the basic information of the product: brand, item number, size, material, retail price, etc.

Unboxing | Reunion
Finally, I saw the long-awaited little green. Opening the packaging box, I was greeted by a fresh Codoon Green, natural and refreshing, yet playful!
Continuing the brand tradition, the 10K ST01, like the Codoon Smart Running Shoes RF, 21K NC01, and Smart Walking Shoes LT01, comes with a set of smart chips to connect with the app, recording every moment with Codoon.
Every step counts!
Every drop of sweat will make a better you!
...
A familiar belief brings Codoon friends from all over the world together on Codoon's platform, writing their own glories day after day.
Codoon collaborated with over 100 professional running coaches, spending more than a year to design and develop this entry-level 10K. How does it perform? Let's wait and see.
Details | Stunning
Green is the main color, with black and white accents. The brand logo ∞ is located on the toe, upper, and sole, making it highly recognizable when worn. Its elegant appearance will also make you look stylish.
The toe is upturned with a 40mm ground clearance, reducing pressure on the toes. The outsole extends to the toe area, with the brand logo ∞ being very prominent. Outdoor sports inevitably involve toe collisions, and the 10K's toe collision protection design is quite good.
The upper uses breathable mesh fabric with seamless fusion technology, enhancing the strength of the upper. Even when twisted under force during exercise, it can still provide traction and tightening effects, offering good wrapping. The high-density breathable holes on the upper can keep the inside of the shoe dry and reduce odors.
The side of the running shoe features Codoon's logo ∞, making it highly recognizable.
The tongue adopts an integrated design, connected to the running shoe through elastic mesh fabric, making it easy to put on and take off without a sense of restraint. It also indicates some size and origin information.
The collar has thickened lining, wrapping the heel and providing support, thereby enhancing comfort. The Codoon 10K logo indicates the specificity of the running shoe: it is suitable for short to medium distance running.
The internal stitching of the sole uses double-thread stitching, with good stitching density.
The Codoon breathable cushioning insole has a memory function, and the official claim is that its elasticity does not decrease after millions of steps. The contour of the insole fits the foot, with moderate thickness and good foot feel. After a few days of trial wear, I found the cushioning effect to be quite good.
To improve the stability and comfort of the heel, a support bar is built in. The local reinforcement decoration makes the 10K look very cute.
The TPU resin at the heel fits the foot very well, providing enough support and stability for the foot.Unfortunately, the heel lacks a pull tab design, making it inconvenient for quick on and off.
The midsole is designed with a grid-like three-dimensional pattern, giving an overall good visual effect.
The outsole uses high-rebound EVA, and the segmented shock-absorbing pads and waterdrop-shaped transition area disperse the impact force when the feet land, making the product lighter and more breathable while ensuring high-quality materials.The Codoon logo ∞ is embedded in it. If it is green, it not only increases recognition but also harmonizes with the shoe.
The 10K is ergonomically designed, with yellow-green wave-shaped rubber patches on the front half of the sole, filled with dual-density cushioning materials, forming a high-elastic cushioning belt from the toes to the heel. According to official data, compared to similar running shoes, comfort is increased by 30% and cushioning by 20%.The TPU resin in the middle provides enough stability and shock resistance, preventing injuries during exercise.
The black wave-shaped rubber patches on the back half help improve flexibility and grip. Even when running on rainy days, it is not easy to slip, ensuring stability while running.
Obviously, the non-slip and wear-resistant rubber soles of the forefoot and heel provide enough grip while cushioning, making running safer and more secure.
All accessories of the 10K: manual, smart chip, warranty card, etc.
Experience | Insights
Only the feet know if the shoes fit!
How about the performance? You have to run to know!
As soon as I got the 10K, I couldn't wait to go out and experience the unprecedented fun brought by smart technology!
Wait! I haven't done the smart pairing operation yet~
Smart pairing operation is essential, follow me step by step~
Step 1: Download the Codoon APP, available in major app stores. It's quite simple, and I believe most runners have used Codoon, so I won't elaborate here.
Step 2: Scan the QR code on the chip for pairing, it's fast, OK!
Step 3: Place the smart chip inside the left shoe, note that the Codoon logo ∞ should face up, don't get it wrong :)
Step 4: Put on the running shoes, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, and remain still for 5 seconds to complete the pairing.
Step 5: After pairing, perform some necessary settings, including setting smart voice guidance and customizing pace, cadence, and other running-related parameters.
A reminder: the more precise the settings, the more meaningful the guidance for your running, but it also brings a problem. The smart voice constantly reminds you to pay attention to this and that, which can be annoying. Just run.
After the chip is successfully bound, you can click GO on the main interface to start running.
The Codoon Smart APP's settings are not limited to the 10K running shoes; other smart devices can also be set, such as smart sports headphones, smart sports watches, etc. I heard Codoon is going to release a smart watch.
There is a social function that other running shoes do not have. A smart chip is hidden under the left insole, which can not only record various running data such as time, pace, and cadence during running but also allow you to stomp your foot to meet nearby runners, making our running no longer lonely and full of more fun.
After users connect the Codoon APP with the smart running shoes, they can get exclusive guidance for the 10K, including warm-up and stretching guidance before and after exercise, and real-time voice guidance on running posture during exercise. In addition to exclusive courses, they can also get more than 100 sports and fitness courses, including running posture and step teaching, with full video guidance from experienced coaches, helping you get through the novice period and smoothly complete the marathon.
Since the 10K smart chip does not have a separate GPS positioning, there is no exercise track without connecting to the phone. Only when connected to the internet can the exercise track be recorded. Of course, you can also connect to the phone and upload the data directly after exercise.
A 5KM easy run, and the data from the smart running shoes can show detailed data such as forefoot landing, regular landing, heel landing, foot eversion, regular gait, foot inversion, average ground contact time, and cushioning impact. These data are very important for users to understand their running posture, which is the core of Codoon smart running shoes.
In addition to the regular cadence and stride length, it also provides uncommon data such as landing and gait, and analyzes them in percentages, which has positive practical significance for correcting bad running posture.
Codoon smart running shoes record detailed data such as forefoot landing, regular landing, heel landing, foot eversion, regular gait, foot inversion, average ground contact time, and cushioning impact, which is not available in general sports watches. However, Codoon smart running shoes cannot obtain the runner's heart rate data, which can only be achieved through third-party smart devices, such as Codoon's Quite smart heart rate headphones. It is recommended to add a heart rate monitoring function.
