Footwear Having Sensor System

An article of footwear adapted to engage a foot, comprising:

• a sole structure comprising an outsole member and a midsole member supported by the outsole member, the midsole member having a well therein;
• an upper portion connected to the sole structure;
• a sensor system comprising a force sensor connected to the sole structure and a sensor lead extending away from the force sensor, the force sensor being adapted to sense a force exerted on the sole structure by the foot;
• and
• a port connected to the sole structure and the sensor system, the port comprising:
• a housing at least partially received within the well in the midsole member, the housing comprising a plurality of side walls defining a chamber adapted to receive an electronic module;
• and
• an interface engaged with the housing and having at least one electrical contact exposed to the chamber and adapted to be engaged by the module to form an electrical connection, wherein the electrical contact is connected to the sensor lead and thereby in electronic communication with the force sensor.

A system for use with article of footwear adapted to engage a foot, comprising:

• a sole structure comprising an outsole member and a midsole member supported by the outsole member, the midsole member having a well therein;
• an upper portion connected to the sole structure;
• a sensor system comprising a plurality of force sensors connected to the sole structure and a plurality of sensor leads extending away from the force sensors, the force sensors each being adapted to sense a force exerted on the sole structure by the foot;
• a port connected to the sole structure and the sensor system, the port comprising:
• a housing at least partially received within the well in the midsole member, the housing comprising a plurality of side walls defining a chamber and a retaining member connected to at least one of the side walls;
• and
• an interface engaged with the housing and having a plurality of electrical contacts exposed to the chamber, wherein the electrical contacts are connected to the plurality of sensor leads and are thereby in electronic communication with the force sensors;
• and
• an electronic module received in the chamber of the port, wherein the module engages the plurality of electrical contacts of the interface when the module is received within the chamber, forming an electrical connection with the interface,
• wherein the module is configured to receive signals from the force sensor through the electrical connection with the interface and store data received from the force sensor, and
• wherein the retaining member exerts a force on the module to retain the module within the chamber.
