Magnetic adaptive fit system: NikeRecent Research Landscape

Traditional footwear closure systems impede rapid entry for users with limited mobility, creating a barrier to independent use. This technology utilizes magnetic hold-open mechanisms to maintain structural clearance during the donning process.

What technical problems is Nike addressing in Magnetic adaptive fit system?

Restricted foot entry accessibility

(10)evidences

Physical limitations or situational constraints make traditional shoe donning and doffing difficult. Reducing mechanical resistance during entry and exit improves accessibility for users with mobility impairments.

Inadequate midfoot lockdown stability

(9)evidences

Standard footwear fastening methods suffer from inconsistent pressure distribution and physical difficulty in achieving a secure fit. Resolving this ensures uniform lockdown and improved user accessibility.
