Adobe Illustrator was used to finalize the design of the inner bodysuit, vest and gloves. This step was crucial in the process.
The helmets focus was to improve visibility for the athlete. This was solved with a polycarbonate screen while still keeping the metal mesh for breathability. It's also equipped with an inner sweatband, perforated area for hearing and protective kevlar.
The shoes focus was to improve stability and durability, while still keeping flexibility for the athlete. It's a laceless design with a midsole that is shaped in a way so less distress is made on the upper while performing. There is also a protective toe cap, ankle strap and a sole that wraps over the heel to maximize support and movement.
