Nike React Gato
Data-driven outsole architecture for small-sided traction and touch on hard courts.
Innovation · Data
Challenge
Balance grip, flex, and feel for quick cuts and first-touch control while meeting React tooling and manufacturing constraints.
Approach
Use NSRL Nike data to prove out the performance and placement of pods for the small-sided game.
Outcome
Wear testing validated the traction and touch targets; the outsole approach scaled across the React Gato line.
