Space Hippie 01 02 03

3D Innovator
This project came to life with the help of a great Nike NXT team. As the 3D design arm of the team I modeled concepts from the product designer and together we collaborated to come up with what is today the Nike Space Hippie 01 - 02 - 03.
Soft, Plush materials that you can pull from the inside of your mars rover.
Inspiration to 3D
We took the idea of piecing together scrap and made the first 3D form.
Initial concept as a 3D print seen in behind the design at 2:20 (Video at bottom of project page). Illustration done by Brek.systems using original inspiration model.
Final concept model
this was the final concept model that we did before the remainder of the changes were done between the designer and the factory. The goal of the concept model is to inspire and pull ideas out of your mind and put something into physical form and space. Sometimes there are many changes that happen between handoff and final model. It takes a full team to bring complex product to market. @brek.Wes did a final pass with the NXT design team to get the final version.
