Dutch fashion designer Iris van Herpen collaborated with Japanese shoe designer Noritaka Tatehana to create a work that challenges and transforms contemporary structure and methods of shoe design. The duo utilized a marriage of traditional handcraft and 3-D printing technology for this strikingly unconventional shoe form. Designed for van Herpen’s 2015 Hacking Infinity collection, the shoe is made of 3-D printed “crystals” [SLA resin and photopolymer] and laser-cut, hand-applied leather strapping.
