Nike Introduces Performance 3D Printed Textile Tech – Flyprint

Nike has long been a brand based in innovation. Their very excellence hinges upon budding technology and the subsequent ability to transform it into something beneficial to athletes. In 2012, Nike did exactly that with the introduction of Flyknit. It was a masterful play on woven synthetic yarn that could take shape with the foot, ensuring movement and comfort was at a height no Nike shoe before it has ever reached.

Nike Flyprint is both an extension and an evolution of Flyknit. Introduced today, as a base level, Flyprint is a performance 3D printed textile upper produced through solid deposit modeling (or SDM), a process whereby a TPU filament is unwound from a coil, melted and laid down in layers. Moreover, this groundbreaking methodology allows Nike designers to translate athlete data into new textile geometries.

Flyprint performance printing is a vastly advanced approach towards footwear production. Nike has been able to streamline prototyping 16-times faster than in any previous manufacturing method. To that end, the benefits of 3D textiles over traditional 2D fabrics fuse much cleaner and there is no friction resistance between the yarn. It is also lighter and more breathable than Nike’s previously employed textiles.

All of this, of course, is designed for athletes to attain greater success at all levels. More intimately, for distance runners like Eluid Kipchoge to conquer marathons in record time. Later this month, Kipchoge will debut the Nike Zoom Vaporfly Elite Flyprint during a marathon in London on April 22. To coincide with his race, the shoe will release in limited numbers in London through the Nike app that same weekend.

Release details for U.S. consumers has not yet been confirmed. Stay tuned for more details on Nike Flyprint.
