Nike's FlyWeb sports bra, worn by Faith Kipyegon in Paris, is a groundbreaking advancement in performance sportswear, pioneering the use of 3D printing technology. By utilizing computational design, the FlyWeb bra resolves long-standing issues like moisture retention and lack of customization in traditional sports bras. Designed under the direction of Janett Nichol, the bra leverages algorithms to optimize material placement based on each athlete's specific needs, allowing for new levels of support and airflow, ultimately enhancing athletic performance by providing tailored comfort.
The FlyWeb bra emerges from algorithms, not pattern pieces. Nike's engineers used computational design to determine optimal material placement for each athlete's specific needs.
Traditional sports bras face engineering constraints that limit their effectiveness, which Nike aims to eliminate with their innovative 3D printing approach.
The system generates hundreds of design iterations optimized for specific performance criteria, producing garments impossible to create through traditional methods.
Variable-density zones provide targeted support and maximize airflow in heat-generating areas, resulting in a bra designed not just for comfort but also performance.
