Sustainability Meets Style with Zellerfeld and Moncler’s 3D Printed Trailgrip Sneaker
Pioneering the world of 3D printed shoes, Zellerfeld has joined forces with Moncler, a renowned luxury fashion brand known for its commitment to eco-consciousness and innovation. This collaboration marks Moncler’s foray into 3D printing, using a single recyclable material to create a truly unique and sustainable footwear option – the Trailgrip 3D sneakers. Indeed, Zellerfeld, renowned for its washable and recyclable 3D printed shoes, has perfected a technique that allows the shoes to be broken down and remade using lattices. The absence of stitching, glue, or weak points ensures the shoes can be regenerated and recycled after use. This aligns perfectly with Moncler’s commitment to sustainability, making it an ideal partnership.
The Trailgrip 3D sneakers showcase Moncler’s fashion touch, with a veiny design adorning the upper part of the shoe. This collaboration will be unveiled at Studio Ascenti, Moncler’s interactive footwear exhibition in Paris, and will be exclusive to members of Moncler’s global footwear community. The limited edition release offers an exclusive glimpse into the future of Moncler’s innovative designs.
