Sarah Reinertsen helped develop Nike Sole and the Nike FlyEase together with Tobie Hatfield, Director of Innovation for Nike

Sarah shares how she worked with Tobie Hatfield, Director of Innovation for Nike, and helped develop Nike Sole to not only supercharge her running career but also help amputee runners everywhere get to their own starting lines.

Sarah is collaborating with Nike again on their first adaptive closure technology, FlyEase, a discrete wraparound zipper closure offered on several Nike shoe models.
