Thesis Statement



“Viper Shoe” is a shoe designed for ankle support and maximum movement and healthy flexibility on the court. The goal of the shoe is to prevent ankle sprains for kids who play basketball, but might not have shoes with proper support to prevent injuries. Studies show that low-top shoes don’t provide enough support, and more ankle injuries happen while players are wearing them. “Viper Shoe” is made with extra ankle support, an adjustable fastener, and a flexible sole to prevent injury.

The main concern for most basketball players is foot injuries. With the “Viper Shoe”, clients won't need to worry about spraining their ankles.

Feedback from last studio

- Research shoes that people often sprain their ankles in. We can understand what not to in the design from that. 

- Gather more precedents that are relevant to the design. 

- Don't design an ankle brace, that already exists. Make your own feature that is strong and prevents sprains without a already existing object.
