Particulate foam stacked casings: NikeRecent Research Landscape

Inconsistent energy return and structural collapse in midsoles increase manufacturing waste and reduce product lifespan. Engineering the spatial distribution of particulate matter within stacked casings stabilizes the mechanical response and ensures structural integrity.

What technical problems is Nike addressing in Particulate foam stacked casings?

Inadequate impact force attenuation

(16)evidences

Standard footwear soles fail to provide sufficient energy absorption and stability during high-force heel strikes. Addressing this limitation prevents musculoskeletal fatigue and improves structural durability under repetitive loading.

Inadequate localized cushioning response

(6)evidences

Insufficient shock absorption and energy return in footwear soles leads to physical fatigue or injury. Improving energy management provides superior protection and comfort for the wearer.
