Footwear having sensor system

A port for use with an article of footwear adapted to engage a foot, the article of footwear having a sole structure and an upper portion connected to the sole structure, the port comprising:

• a housing adapted to be at least partially received within the sole structure of the article of footwear, the housing comprising a chamber adapted to receive an electronic module therein;
• a retaining structure comprising a ridge extending around at least a portion of an inner periphery of the housing and confronting the chamber, wherein the ridge is configured to be received within a recess in the electronic module to retain the electronic module in the chamber;
• and
• an interface engaged with the housing and adapted to be connected in communication with a plurality of sensor leads, and wherein the interface is adapted to form an electrical connection with the electronic module when the electronic module is received within the chamber.

A system configured for use in an article of footwear, comprising:

• an insert member adapted to be placed in contact with a sole structure of the article of footwear, the insert member being formed of a flexible polymer material;
• a sensor system comprising a plurality of force sensors connected to the insert member and a plurality of sensor leads extending away from the force sensors, the force sensors being adapted to sense a force exerted on the sole structure by a foot;
• an electronic module configured for electronic communication and having casing and a memory contained within the casing, the electronic module having a recess extending around at least a portion of an outer periphery of the casing;
• and
• a port connected to the insert member and the sensor system, the port comprising:
• a housing connected to the insert member, the housing comprising a chamber adapted to receive the electronic module therein;
• a retaining structure comprising a ridge extending around at least a portion of an inner periphery of the housing and confronting the chamber, wherein the ridge is received within the recess in the electronic module when the electronic module is received in the chamber, to retain the electronic module in the chamber;
• and
• an interface engaged with the housing and connected in communication with the plurality of sensor leads, and wherein the interface forms an electrical connection with the electronic module when the electronic module is received within the chamber.
