The M_003 is Zulu Kuki’s first modular 3D-printed shoe concept, exploring adaptability and multi-functionality in footwear design.
What if shoes could adapt to your activities or style? The M_003 concept tackles this question by introducing modularity into footwear design. The shoe consists of two or more components—a customizable sole and an upper part—with the addition of a lace holder, a rarity in the current 3D-printed shoe market. The upper features a breathable mesh-like texture, promoting comfort and flexibility. Whether it’s a city stroll, a mountain hike, or a coordinated outfit, the M_003 allows users to tailor their footwear to their specific needs.
In contrast to the mainstream trend of slip-on or clog options in 3D-printed footwear, the M_003 reinvents the approach with its modular design. By dividing the shoe into distinct elements and incorporating laces, this concept redefines customization and utility in 3D footwear. The breathable mesh texture and multi-part structure combine to create a shoe that is versatile, functional, and aligned with the future of personalized design.
