From the finely tailored Italian wingtip to the carved and painted Dutch clog, mankind has created shoes out of a wide range of substances using an even wider range of techniques. Now, the independent footwear brand Oliver Cabell is taking shoemaking boldly into the future with its new Phoenix sneaker.
First and foremost, the Phoenix is as light, cool, and comfortable as any everyday-wear sneaker should be. It also promises athletic responsiveness with cloud-like cushioning to fit your every move. But what makes the Oliver Cabell Phoenix especially remarkable is the fact that it is manufactured using a 3D printer. Even better, the Phoenix makes a positive environmental footprint because each pair is printed using the raw material from seven recycled water bottles.
The result is an entirely machine-washable shoe that comes in your choice of white or black. The Phoenix is finished with matching laces of certified organic cotton and an antibacterial lining that is designed to kill foot odor.
