A shoe you can make at home with an entry level 3D desktop printer is one of the latest designs by United Nude, a studio founded and directed by Rem D Koolhaas (not to be confused with his uncle, the renowned architect Rem Koolhaas). It may not be as comfortable as a conventional shoe, Koolhaas admits, but that’s “not the point of this design”, he says. “This design is about creating something beautiful and interesting and it’s about experimenting, moving forward and about learning.”
