The invention is directed to intelligent systems for articles of footwear that adjust automatically in response to a measured performance characteristic. The intelligent systems include one or more adjustable elements (124,324,724,1524,1624,1724) coupled to a mechanism that actuates the adjustable elements in response to a signal from a sensor (122,722,1104) to modify the performance characteristic of the article of footwear. The intelligent system adjusts the performance characteristics of the article of footwear without human intervention.
