Abstract

Our SLXproject, SoleQuest, is a service and product that will focus towards providing highschool and middle school athletes from low income neighborhoods a fair advantage by providing them soles compatible with each shoe type. By allowing everyone to have footwear that is both sleek and comfortable, many will be more motivated in playing a sport or simply living a more carefree life. Built for many different sports, SoleQuest shoes will feature a durable, carbon-fiber sole that is machine washable for convenience and increased longevity. Our business pitch is centered around addressing the disadvantages faced by high school and middle school athletes from low-income neighborhoods. We aim to achieve this by providing these students with shoes for their sport, which will not only enable them to pursue their sports but also provide comfortable wear throughout their daily lives. Our project will be showcased through product demonstrations. We aim to generate profits, which will be utilized to offer scholarships to underrepresented communities and distribute our product for free. The process of requesting our shoes will involve students making a request to their coach or receiving a recommendation, which will be processed within 2-3 days. Overall, our project aims to level the playing field for underprivileged student athletes while promoting community upliftment through education and access to quality sports equipment.
