What this reference should solve.
The core requirements that should stay visible before detailed component work begins.
Low-bulk fit control
A closure format for shoes that need quick adjustment while keeping the upper visually clean and easy to handle.
Balanced lace path
Routing is developed around instep comfort, pressure spread, and flex-zone clearance before sampling.
A common format for early technical review.
Controlled adjustment with stable closure in movement
L10 for broad compatibility · Li10 for lighter visual presence
Power Disc · 27.9 - 29.3 mm outer diameter · CS Ø0.8 / TX Ø1.0 mm lace
Pressure balance, flex-zone clearance, and low-profile handling
Questions to resolve before sampling.
Check dial position against flex zones and entry opening.
Keep lace routing balanced across the instep to avoid localized pressure during repeated movement.
Use sample testing to confirm fit stability, sock interaction, and long-wear handling.
