As athletes get better and better the gap at the finish line between 1rst and 2nd place shrinks. Pushing the boundaries of athletic footwear performance has lead to a number of recent product innovations powered by new or repurposed materials. The demands placed upon materials to enable better, faster, lighter, stronger footwear performance drive our new product innovation. This presentation will provide a high level look at product innovation, broader impacts those innovations may have, a deeper look at some of the key functional materials currently employed in footwear, and where things may go in the future.
