Stacked viscoelastic layer architecture: NikeRecent Research Landscape
Standard foam compression lacks the energy return and impact attenuation required for high-performance athletics. These structures engineer specific mechanical deformation patterns to optimize energy management and user comfort.
What technical problems is Nike addressing in Stacked viscoelastic layer architecture?
Inadequate impact force attenuation
(21)evidences
Standard cushioning systems fail to address varying pressure distributions across different foot regions. Resolving this allows for dynamic energy return and injury prevention through site-specific mechanical response.
Inconsistent thermal cushioning response
(12)evidences
Footwear midsoles suffer from excessive heat buildup and inefficient energy return during dynamic movement. Addressing these limitations prevents user discomfort and physical fatigue while enhancing athletic performance.
