TCR Jump collection

My capstone projected was a footwear collection of 3 shoes that is tailored to the unique demands of elite male high jumpers. This collection better supports the athletes needs by creating a training shoe with improved stability and responsiveness at the forefoot. The design of the spike helps improves propulsive properties on push off. The recovery boot is designed to actively aid in foot strains and injuries.
