• ‘Designed to Win’ is an exploration of materials, technologies and processes to design equipment that enhances 100 m sprinting performance.


  Scientific investigations have highlighted that tuning the mechanical properties of a sprint shoe to the physical abilities of an athlete can improve performance by up to 3.5%, when a 0.7% improvement can already make a significant difference in the chance of winning a particular race.


  Using the opportunities offered by additive manufacturing, the outcome of the project will consist of the design of an athlete-specific shoe, but also propositions for new models of production and consumption of sport equipment.
