March 2007 - Freestyle 2007 | Nike Zoomposite LF-A
  6.24 / 10
The Nike Zoomposite LF-A is inspired by the Lexus LF-A concept car, and is designed for players at the PG, SG, and SF positions. The shoe uses a foamposite structure in the heel, ankle, and forefoot to cradle and support the foot during hard lateral cuts. An inner elastic band is placed at the forefoot to lock the foot in and add extra lateral support. A variable ankle lacing system allows the wearer to adjust ankle support and flexibility. A translucent TPU heel counter protects the heel and adds extra heel support. A medial TPU shank plate prevents midfoot flex. Ventilation is provided by screen mesh vents and perfs on the tongue and medial side. A caged zoom air unit in the heel, and forefoot zoom air units work to provide low profile cushioning and transition. An asymetrical nubuck toe piece protects the toes from outside hazards. Sketches and details.

March 2007 - Freestyle 2007 | Flightposite ALOHA-MARINE
6.15 / 10
i imagined this shoe thinking of the waves. i wanted to include there some
of the water's specificities like the transparency, the lightness, the
flexibility and
the speed during the wave's movement. So i designed this shoe to remind of
the water's power.
Each part of the shoe was imagined with a special inspiration :
- firstly, the ankle structure was designed to remind of the
waves' shape with curved lines. this element tightens the ankle, it's made
of a rigid plastic, doubled of a cushion, improving the contact with the
foot
- the transparency, which gives all it's sens in the empty heel
part. This empty is strengthened by two lateral transparent plastic
reinforcements.
- the speed is symbolized by the Nike swoosh ,which reminds us of
the surfer who goes down quickly the wave.
- the purified shape and the blue color give us an impression of
lightness, similar to the water . the white part is made of synthetic
leather . the blue mesh one facilitates the flexibility.
i wanted a very discreet closing system, so i decided to include a small zip
fastener, which is able to tighten easily the foot in the shoe. Inspirations and details.

March 2007 - Freestyle 2007 | Puma Xuvia
7.47 / 10
This is an advanced concept I developed for Parkour/Free Running-an
urban obstacle course type of activity which is more commonly
practiced in Europe and Australia. The Xuvia features an internal
sock and upper composed of a recyclable/replaceable anti-abrasive
dragline spider silk mimic. It cocoons around a rubber shell/outsole
(also replaceable/recyclable) with 4 straps that reattach via a
technological chitin material that works with a force called the Va
Der Waals force. (how spiders hang from ceilings) Since forefoot
cushioning is more important than the heel for this sport, I called
out the large cell cushioning in the front, rather than the
traditional heel area. The shoe also features a performance-driven
split-toe construction inspired by Tabi boots that aids in balance
and agility as well as physical well-being. Check out the sketches and details.

Runners alternate between two pairs of running shoes every other day to prolong the life of their shoe's cushioning. Others have two or more pairs of shoes with differing levels of cushioning to match their workouts. The Adidas Switch will allow these runners to change the level of cushioning in the heel and forefoot daily. The Adidas Switch helps runners maximize their work without a duffel bag full of shoes.

March 2007 - Freestyle 2007 | adidas Agent Zero
6.56 / 10
This shoe is a performance basketball shoe designed for Gilbert Arenas. It is comprised of 3 main design elements: a strap, an elastic web tongue, and an advanced formotion sole.
The padded strap can be seen wrapping around the heel and up over the top of the foot.
An elastic web runs along the top of the foot where it interlocks with this strap.
Cutouts provide adequate breathability.
The sole houses full length advanced formotion pods. These pods feature a blue core with a slightly higher density than the cushioning around them. This core extends all the way through the sole to the inner of the shoe. This allows the wearer's foot to come in direct contact with the ends of these cores. This provides enhanced court feel for the player.
The cores also have channels running along their length. These channels are connected to small chambers inside the midsole. The chambers are filled with a goo specifically created for the best traction between the sole of the shoe and hardwood floors. When the pods are impacted and compressed it acts as a valve, releasing a small amount of the goo to the sole of the pods.

March 2007 - Freestyle 2007 | NIKE AIR ZOOM TERRA ENVEDIA
6.36 / 10
''A rugged trail shoe built for all weather action. Hardwearing heavy grain PU acts as a stability frame and keeps the upper tough against abrasion. Triple-ply Gore Tex XCR membrane ensures the upper remains watertight along with windproof shell quarter panels. One-piece stretch vamp/tongue reduces internal seams and keeps the foot snug whilst the built up quarter panels hold the foot in place. Upper is lasted with an internal midsole which contains two isolated large volume Zoom Air units for a more responsive ride and shock absorption. 3M Scotchlite reflective panels give night time visibility. Internal TPU Rollcage prevents the rearfoot from over pronating on unstable terrain whilst the carbon fibre shank ensures the shoe flexes at the forefoot only. Outsole fully wraps around shoe for maximum durability and wear. Made of ALL-TRAC carbon rubber with mixed density elements. Aggressive rubber lugs help maintain maximum traction in mud whilst they are also spaced out enough to avoid mud clogging up the grip. Lateral heel crash pad is angled at 30 ° and is made of BRS1000 rubber for extra wear resistance. Lining features 3M microbial anti-fungal treatment. Sockliner is made from Dual Density CM-EVA to provide support and prevent premature compression over time.''
