As Nike designers, I think we always look to nature. Whenever we see an animal with high vis or really high saturation, it means danger. One of the interesting things about the poison dart frog is that there isn't no antivenom.

If you look at the airbag, each ball of the air is connected to the midsole that connects to the foot, and what we call that system is point-loading. This system will help to transition with fluid motion.

One thing we learned was that although frogs have lungs, they also breath through the skin, which is something that we found super interesting and wanted to see if we could explore what an uppercut looked like using that sort of idea.
