Footwear Science At Its Best: Nike Award Research Reports Since 2009

Created 06 Jan 2022| Updated 07 Jan 2022 | 6 articles

Since 2005, the Nike Award for Athletic Footwear Research has been presented at the prestigious biennial Footwear Biomechanics Symposium to the best research report as judged by a jury of distinguished scientists in the field. Six of the winning papers are collected here representing some of the best research from the multi-disciplinary and international world of footwear science. NB, no award was given in 2019 and the Nike Awards from 2005 and 2007 preceded the inception of the journal Footwear Science, where these six papers were originally published. This collection displays the board range of research questions pursued by footwear scientists as well as the innovative approaches they have taken in the search for answers.
