Duration | 4 Weeks
Skills used | Traditional Sketching, Vizcom, Rendering
The Intent of this project circles around the outward appearance and comfortability of the Adidas Ultra Boost Sneaker
The Reboost Project
Reimagine the adidas ultra boost
Inspiration
Owning the Ultra Boost DNA Running Shoe
The Ultra Boost by Adidas is one of the many sneakers that I own, mainly used for running and heavily focus on the sole material which they have named ‘Boost.’ This specific material is used to increase comfortably, weather adaptability, durability, and flexibility.
Although all of these features in the Boost material are beneficial to the consumer, I have found that comfortability within the rest of the shoe body and aesthetics had seemed to pull the shorter straw.
Mood Boards
Exploration of New Forms
Observation Sketches
Adidas Ultra Boost DNA Study
Looking at the original form to fully understand each aspect of the shoe.
Ideation Sketches
Using pieces of the original form to expand further
Exploratory Sketches
With using three different directions from thumbnail sketches, more detail was decided upon for each iteration
Final Direction Examination
Over halfway designed through detailed sketches, moving toward the CAD rendering
Final Design Analysis
Using a composition and graphic elements to communicate the form in different perspectives
Renders Coming soon
Renders from Vizcom.ai referenced from my original drawings
After inserting my own sketches into Vizcom.ai, different color-ways and textures are applied to the form and shape.
This project is expected to grow alongside my design journey and therefore is in progress. My next step is refining Fusion sketching and Keyshot rendering. The Reboost Project is expected to be completed by November 2024.
