PNEUMA™ VEST
The Breath That Backs You Up
What
A lightweight vest for kids with inflatable shoulder panels that simulate the feeling of a deep breath—gently expanding and releasing to support emotional readiness.
Why
Kids face stress before action.
First day of school. First time on the field. First time speaking up.
PNEUMA™ turns breath into bravery—through design.
How it works
Inflates manually or through upper-body movement
Micro-glyph symbols appear when fully inflated—visible proof of courage
Soft hiss + exhale sounds reinforce the breath metaphor
Deflates quietly after the moment passes

Creative Authorship
This concept is original. The idea, narrative framework, and design direction for Nike Pneuma were conceived and developed by me. I executed the silhouettes and visual identity through AI image prompting as a method of rapid prototyping. Every visual and structural decision reflects my end-to-end creative leadership—merging design thinking, breath-based biomechanics, and human-centered performance research into a future-forward Nike apparel system.
