Lobed fluid-filled chamber geometry: NikeRecent Research Landscape
Inconsistent energy return and structural fatigue in midsoles increase manufacturing complexity and product failure rates. These innovations engineer specific internal fluid volumes and chamber walls to provide predictable mechanical damping.
What technical problems is Nike addressing in Lobed fluid-filled chamber geometry?
Insufficient underfoot impact attenuation
(26)evidences
Standard footwear cushioning fails to manage high-velocity impact forces effectively across varied foot strikes. Addressing this prevents structural collapse and reduces musculoskeletal stress during repetitive loading.
Inadequate sole structure flexibility
(12)evidences
Excessive heat buildup and mechanical shock during locomotion cause physical fatigue and user discomfort. Mitigating these factors extends performance duration and prevents repetitive stress injuries.
