Dynamic tension balancing mechanism: NikeRecent Research Landscape

Inconsistent pressure distribution in performance footwear leads to user discomfort and reduced stability. These innovations utilize reel-based cable systems to provide precise, localized lockdown control.

What technical problems is Nike addressing in Dynamic tension balancing mechanism?

Uneven pressure distribution

(14)evidences

Localized pressure points and uneven tension across the foot lead to discomfort and poor fit. Uniform tension distribution ensures secure lockdown without restricting blood flow or causing pain.

Uneven pressure distribution

(6)evidences

Standard closure systems create localized pressure points and uneven tension across different foot zones. Achieving balanced constriction improves user comfort and prevents mechanical failure of the fastening interface.
