Nike NMLC - 2006 (Initial Concept Sketches)

These are the initial sketches from a 2006 project about revolving around a Mobile Liquid Container for Nike. At the time they had yet to develop any sort of convention for athletes to stay hydrated and focus on prevention of dehydration while athletes were performing. Water bottles and bespoke camel packs were heavy and cumbersome. It was an opportunity to infuse modern technology with ingestable hydration liquid/jelly form that expanded once dissolved in the mouth to deliver high impact quenching liquid delivery to it's user. In addition to the capsul was the delivery device that the wearer would have to interact with while active. Initially thought as a wrist band it migrated to a different form later on.
