USAIN BOLT
8-time Olympic Gold Medalist Track Star
The world’s fastest man needed equipment that could keep up. SOUL was
evolving and sought to aid those in the sport and fitness world. ‘SOUL of
Greatness’ aimed to inspire and demonstrate how dedication and focus help
to enable the achievement of greatness.
Music can encourage athletes to work harder during exercise and for
extended periods of time, but if the device delivering the music couldn’t
keep up it defeated the purpose.
Bolt’s input in the design process focused mostly on functionality, color
scheme, and style, but he was also very concerned with the way the
products felt and fit. Aside from his own Bolt Edition of the SL300’s and
Combat Series, this collaboration helped create the Run Free Bluetooth
headphones that catered to Bolt’s needs and freed him any wires that would
slow him down.
