Rains and Zellerfeld have teamed up to create a new type of sneaker that combines the classic puffer jacket with cutting-edge 3D printing technology. The result is the Puffer Sneaker, which made its debut at the AW23 runway show in Paris and is now available for customization and order.
The design of the Puffer Sneaker draws inspiration from Rains’ signature puffer jackets, resulting in a sculptural profile that is both stylish and functional. Each pair is 3D-printed to your individual specifications, allowing you to choose from three colors and customize the fit, width, and comfort of the shoe.
The Puffer Sneaker’s 3D-printing technology enables a seamless fit and finish, with a fused latticework sole that delivers customizable cushioning. The shoe’s puffer-inspired chambers are filled with 90% air, making them lightweight and comfortable for extended wear.
The Puffer Sneaker is made from TPU, a material that is quick-drying, washable, and odor-resistant, making it easy to maintain and enhancing its performance and lifespan. The shoe is also fully recyclable, so it can be renewed into a fresh pair at the end of its life cycle.
To order your own one-of-a-kind pair of Puffer Sneakers, simply click through to Zellerfeld’s website and select your custom options. Your shoes will be individually printed and shipped from Zellerfeld, with step-by-step updates throughout the process. Due to the unique quality of each pair, delivery may take 8-12 weeks.
At $260, the Puffer Sneaker is a worthwhile investment for those who value both style and functionality. Its innovative 3D-printing technology and sustainable design make it a standout choice for anyone in the market for a new pair of sneakers.
