3D printed shoe
In a reinterpretation of classic shoe design, Auxetic Wear is a 3D printed shoe that utilizes an auxetic structure to adapt itself to the ergonomics of its wearer’s foot. Combining traditional crafts with modern technology, the designers emulate techniques from classic shoemaker craftsmanship to devise a design that displays a stitched and glued pattern consisting of low-profile two-dimensional shapes.
