Oliver Trejo's Brief:

Throughout history, people have yearned for speed. The Cheetah Shoes are designed to allow people to run faster. Its medium sized leaf springs allow the user to run more efficiently. The Cheetah Shoes are made up of layered foam and wood in the shape of a ‘J’, which allows for compression and energy return. Each spring attaches to laser cut holders into which the wearer inserts their lower legs and their feet to use the shoes. The leg chasse keeps the user's ankles from twisting and getting injured. In the past few years, more and more Paralympic runners have been able to compete in the Olympics thanks in part to their prosthetics. The most common of these prosthetics is fashioned in the shape of a leaf spring. However, these are too large and unwieldy to attach to a shoe for non-limb-different people. The original prosthetics are able to reduce energy loss by around 10%, making high speeds more easily attainable. The compression of the springs also works as a shock absorber, protecting the ankles and knees. The shoes can both improve the user’s attainable speeds and the user’s resilience to injury.

The design uses multiple laser cut pieces and hand cut pieces. Most of it can be replicated simply from the laser cut materials while the only truly hand-cut piece is the laminated foam. This forms the base of the cheetah blade. It provides the compression and the rebound which is the most important part of the spring as it gives the shoes their springy properties. The foam is caged by two pieces of thick plywood to keep everything centered. These wooden pieces also provide more strength so the shoes can take more use. Runners will use the Cheetah Shoes to sprint short distances, run long marathons, and improve their overall physical abilities. The Cheetah Shoes are tools that runners all over the world can use to perform better in their sport.


Zach Belizaire's Brief: 

Who hasn't wanted to run faster and improve there running performance like Olympian Usain Bolt or the superhero Flash in for comic books? , If so, these Cheetah shoes are designed for them. The shoes help to improve a person's running performance, giving them an advantage over other runners.  

.The design mechanisms inside the shoes are smaller, stronger compared to (Jumping Stilts). It’s secured and firmly strapped on the runner's calves and ankles. The shoes do not look bulky; they look sleek and stylish like an everyday sneaker. As they walk, energy, that is released as you walk or run forward. The faster you run, the more power and energy are released. Amputees who owned the cheetah legs said at the legs don't make them faster But the leg makes walking normal. with the cheetah running shoes But for Able-bodied person the added legs make them walk 2x faster.

The Cheetah shoes are made with high-quality parts at a cheaper cost, making it] affordable Than Jumping Stilts and accessible to anyone who desires to run faster. Overall [be more specific, perhaps: Most importantly], the Cheetah shoes feel comfortable and easy to walk and run with.  You'll feel like you've increased strength and endurance to keep them going.
