Outro
Back to the purpose of a camouflaged apparel which is to blend with the surrounding thereby keeping its users diguised , unnoticed hidden & safe to an extent;
was also the source of inspiration for this design
can further be stretched and understood in the context of fulfilling dreams and aspirations
"Hidden Hoop Dreams"
- an individual can be safe from challenges but hidden from possibilities if they don't pursue their dreams
An athletic shoe not just designed for performance but to also motivate and tell a story💫
The Hidden Hoop Dreams project stretched my capabilities in blending narratives that can impact an audience with design that leave them in awe.
