Nike Free Ride
Working on robotic siping tech and the impacts on adjacent processes.
Computational Design · Innovation · Data
Challenge
Robotic siping was an innovation process that is still in development. Working with multiple teams to land the Free Ride was a great challenge.
Approach
The siping pattern itself wasn't complex but it made us rethink traction systems. We built a flexible system that made it easy to grade across different sizes.
Outcome
Wear testing showed that the system provided the durability and flexibility needed by young athletes.
