About
UNITED NUDE - leading footwear brand, and 3D SYSTEMS - the inventor’s and leaders of 3D Printing teamed up with five of the worlds leading architects and designers: Ben van Berkel (UNStudio), ZahaHadid, Ross Lovegrove, Fernando Romero and Michael Young explored and challenged 3D printing technology by designing 3D printed ladies high heels.
The Re-Inventing Shoes project is about exploring and pushing the boundaries of this rapidly developing technology by creating shoes with the largest amount of sculptural freedom. The production method used is the highest quality of 3D printing (Selective Laser Sintering) in a hard Nylon and all-new soft Rubber material. UNITED NUDE have developed a system to combine harder and softer 3D printed parts for creating fully functioning shoes. Each shoe will be produced as a limited edition run of only 50 pairs.
