It was an honor to do this project in collaboration with adidas and the adidas MakerLab team. We visited the adidas headquarters at Herzogenaurach, Germany and received a challenging brief. This project is the result of months of work, design sprints, multiple progress presentations, feedback and experimentation. It was a transformative experience that helped us grow as Interaction Design professionals.
