Topper Code TENNIS1 - DNA inspiration is evident in this Topper tennis concept which was comprised of an upper sock, same fuzzy material as a tennis ball, and soft TPU fingers that connected to the outsole component. Kinda cool for a visual while keeping in mind the functionality aspects for a serious player.
Topper Code Run 3.
Just a crazier running concept that was inspired from brazilan tree lizards. I wanted to integrate the outsole with the upper in a way that was very organic and sinewy.
