Standard knitted components lack the necessary rigidity and abrasion resistance at high-stress contact points like the toe and sole interface. Addressing this prevents premature material failure and loss of shape during athletic use.

Standard knitted uppers lack the necessary rigidity and durability in high-stress zones without adding excessive weight or complexity. Addressing this limitation allows for targeted reinforcement and shape retention in performance footwear.

Standard knit architectures lack the necessary rigidity and directional support to secure the foot during high-intensity movement. Addressing this limitation prevents foot slippage and improves energy transfer without adding bulk.
