Almost 30 Nike material designers and developers joined in person while many joined the session through Zoom Online including the YY HQ team back in Korea. Talked a lot about the types and characteristics of Textiles in footwear application, how to problem solve issues and looked at several case studies based on Nike shoes and some example materials from YY. There will be private sessions will be held on August 3rd and 4th for some of Men's Performance and Jordan. Please reach out if your team would like a private session.
