VERTICO 2.O FUTURE FRAGMENT is a rock climbing shoe designed for athlete ADAM ONDRA for his TOKYO 2021 Olympics debut in sport climbing.Which originally I conceptualised in 2019 inspired by his hardest climb CHANGE . We are living in unprecedented times & normal rules no longer apply.With the entire world looking at Olympics as a beacon of hope,served as a creative trigger to upcycle my design not only to enhance the performance of the athlete but also as a symbol of optimism , solidarity & unity in all of our diversity .Vertico 2.0 is based on the concept of circularity design-PDF for details
