A HIGHER DIMENSION

FSNYE SS27 brings in a new revolution of shoe manufacturing its first day Tuesday as sustainability and comfort take center stage. EVA and PVC have already proven to create new kinds of shoes not only flexible, but are able to withstand the toughness of real life. A new avenue of shoe innovation also includes 3D print where this technology uses material that’s unable to break down. It’s important for men and women to get longer use out of their shoe while new style and recovery are created.

Enter Zyphor: London, the makers of the 3D print shoe containing recycled and biodegradable materials through low-waste 3D printing. Trying on Zyphor was an immediate comfort point as they feel very light and heightening on your feet. Zyphor breaks down its 4 shoe collections into Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Zeta. Alpha, Gamma, and Zeta are designed to have style depth according to if you want a dress shoe feel or a high top look. Beta is strictly a recovery shoe that stays low and rounded on the ground. Plus, Beta is very easy to slip your feet into after exercise or an injury.

As Zyphor states… Zyphor’s signature HALS v2.0 (Hindered Asynchronous Light Synthesis) is a multi-directional 3D-printed sole system featuring: Rebound lattice: to cushion each step and reduce foot fatigue. Hollow ventilation channels: to keep feet dry. Triple-zone pressure mapping: to reduce fatigue. Some models are fully 3D-printed in one piece; no glue, no waste, no seams. Others blend lattice soles with precision-knit uppers for hybrid performance. All 3D-Printing use recyclable compounds for a closed-loop future: Collect → Reprocess → Reprint → Restart.

Super sustainability is ultimately accomplished with Zyphor: London and its 3D Printing shoes engineered to have not months, but years of use without material breaking down. The open rigid designs out of Zyphor makes it entirely cool not only on your feet, but cool to enhance your style. And it’s surely vital for you to have holistic recovery if your feet have endured incredible activity or pain.
