As I mentioned before the project is to design a Nike MTB shoe for the London Olympics 2012. Here the concept was a double closure system so as to provide the user with a closure system with which he could alter the foot hug on both surfaces of the upper -the outer and the inner. It employs a simple strap which has a velcro at its terminal ends.

Me personally like the bottom sketch as it is not one of the 'Roshan' views..;)...and also took just 10 minutes for it. Credit goes to the situation when one has to submit a whole design process presentation within 2 hrs with all the concept sketches!...Cheers

Mountain Biking shoe concept
Nike + Furai = ?
Form follows function. Inspired by the Mazda Furai the concept employs an upper of engineered PU. The sharp surfaces are designed so as to cut the air so as to increase the speed of air flow through the intakes and the forefoot inlets. Once the foot is cooled the warm air would exit through the counter outlet due to the pressure levels between the interior and exterior environments of the shoe.

One Hour Design Challenge Entry

BRIEF: Run to the closest printer or copier, grab a small stack of copier paper, and show us some ideation love. Yup, it's as simple as that--create the most number of ideation sketches in as many angles, forms, and scribbles of a single subject of your choice. If you love shoes, sketch 'em. If you’re feelin' it for cars, we want to see those. If you’re into cellphones, gadgets, gizmos, fashion, or accessories, have at it! We’ve all seen these ideation pages populating your Coroflot portfolios; now's your chance to prepare a stunning array live with the kitchen timer set to 60 minutes!

The top one was just the warm up and the final one was a compilation of all the work churned out in the specified hour.....cheers...:)
