Nike Inflict 4 3D Tech Breakdown + Visualization Study
Deconstructed a complex wrestling silhouette into production-ready digital components. This project demonstrates how reverse-engineering a physical shoe reveals manufacturing decisions that inform digital design. Rather than modeling from concepts, I reverse-engineered the Inflict 4 to understand its construction logic. This approach revealed critical details: offsets between material layers, bite-line geometry, pattern construction, and assembly sequences.
