THE CHILLSIDES LAB
WE MEASURE. WE DON’T GUESS.
Chillsides is being developed through a planned cycle of prototyping, evaluation and iteration — because a good idea still has to earn its shape.
01
DEFINE
Translate player feedback, comfort priorities and product constraints into the next concept direction.
02
PROTOTYPE
Build and refine early footbed, ColdPod and strap concepts for hands-on evaluation.
03
EVALUATE
Explore comfort, thermal behavior, fit and post-match feel through planned testing methods.
04
LEARN + ITERATE
Use what is learned to guide subsequent geometry, cushioning, fit and materials decisions — feeding the next round of prototyping.
FROM AN IDEA TO A PRODUCT.
FROM QUESTION → CONCEPT → PROTOTYPE → TESTING → PRODUCT.
01
ORIGIN
IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM — Hot, sore, blister-prone feet after football.
02
FIRST IDEA
ASKED THE QUESTION — What if the recovery slide could actively cool the foot?
03
COMPLETED EXPLORATION
STUDIED THE FOOT — Examined pressure, friction, heat and likely cooling areas to understand what the foot has just been through.
04
COMPLETED EXPLORATION
DEVELOPED THE FOOTBED CONCEPT — Developed the initial cushioning, fit, cooling placement and comfort geometry.
05
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
ENGINEER THE COLDPOD — Develop the removable ColdPod and how it integrates beneath the footbed.
06
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
PROTOTYPE — Build physical versions and evaluate fit, comfort and usability.
07
PLANNED VALIDATION
TEST + ITERATE — Measure cooling behaviour, athlete comfort and real-world post-football use, then refine the design.
08
PRODUCT GOAL
CHILLSIDES — A recovery slide designed specifically around the foot a football boot leaves behind.
90 MINUTES ON. 15 MINUTES COOL.
