NIKE AIR ZOOM
ELITE 8

Have you ever wondered what was inside the Air Zoom Elite 8 that made you so fast? Well, we've got the answer right here, in the form of an 8-cylinder, 500hp, rocket-powered airbag.

We've started the project using a more stylized motion-designy approach but at some point, the client asked us to go for a photoreal CG and focus our exploration on engine-within-a-shoe idea. We ended up with a final concept of the shoe being tested in an ultra-hi-tech, almost air force grade facility somewhere in the year 2035 (or 2037, who knows?). All decisions regarding the design of the environment, engine/airbag, and other props were made with this setting in mind.
