Cute shoes of the future

The designer proposes new, alternative techniques in addition to current production methods. One suggestion is 3D-printed soles of either 100% monomaterial that can be recycled, or substrate grafted with mycelium that can be composted. The knitted part of the shoes is removable and easy to repair. The project is a more accessible way of creating sustainable footwear where a seamless integration of nature and technology can reduce the industry's impact on the environment.
