Personalized insoles on-demand, for when you really DO need to run 👟
Opening this week in a suburb of Paris, the ASICS Personalization Studio is trialing a new service that provides insoles optimized for individual foot shape.
The Studio functions as an ultra-compact factory where feet are scanned and the data used to algorithmically predict an optimal shape of insole. A 3D printer then creates the insole, a thick lattice structure multi-layered to add breathability and softness. The exact level of cushioning can be varied for any part of the foot, which aids physical recovery while also improving performance.
The ASICS Personalization Studio is being jointly developed with Dassault Systèmes, who provide the 3D simulation and modeling technology. The Studio is located on the Dassault Systèmes campus in Vélizy-Villacoublay near Paris, and will relocate to Japan next year for further testing ahead of a wider commercial release.
It all forms part of a bigger vision, our VISION2030, in which everyone can remain involved with exercise and sports over their entire lifetime. This includes a future in which shoes are personalized for your unique foot shape and your individual needs.
