Multi-layer tensioning strap architecture: NikeRecent Research Landscape

Standard garment assembly relies on stitched seams that create pressure points and structural failure. These innovations utilize complex braiding and integrated lacing to control load distribution and functional utility within the textile matrix.

What technical problems is Nike addressing in Multi-layer tensioning strap architecture?

Inadequate dynamic garment support

(5)evidences

Static garment structures fail to maintain consistent support during body movement or physiological changes. Resolving this prevents garment migration and localized pressure discomfort.

Inadequate localized breast support

(4)evidences

Standard garments fail to provide targeted tension and structural stability for breast tissue during movement. Addressing this prevents discomfort and soft tissue strain.

Excessive moisture retention and weight

(2)evidences

Standard upper torso support garments suffer from prolonged dampness and heavy material mass during physical exertion. Reducing fluid absorption and weight improves thermal regulation and wearer comfort.
