Shoe Design Feedback

[ted8low]

Hi guys,

I'm currently a sports product designer studying at Brighton Uni in the uk. My final project is designing and manufacturing a basketball shoe. I was hopingyou guys could answer my questionnaire (follow the links below) and help me out!

I already ran a general questionnaire about basketball players now i've come up with some designs of the sole of the basketball shoe. If you guys couldplease do my questionnaire below it would be of great help further info is followed on from the links, the reason for multiple links is because of a limit onthe amounts of questions asked per questionnaire it's actually quite short as there's only 5 questions per part:
pt1 http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=Uy_2fifQCSyyE7KlexSNVCBw_3d_3d
pt2 http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=2Z8uSmJgCNhMAzvLlSXbVg_3d_3d
pt3 http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=61EVPwAtN57QggMSZKtcEw_3d_3d
pt4 http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=1ZvWc0UEtQponcP7m22FUw_3d_3d
pt5 http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=SmEcG8iOgNgfq4AgEzqarQ_3d_3d

The intent of the shoe is to help "slashers" have more acceleration during their cutting movements to the basket or when they are getting aroundplayers. The reason there's always a graphic going up the side of the shoe is to help the user have his eyes drawn to the sole of the shoe so that herealises that it does something different compared to other shoes.

Thanks in advance for your help!
