Got yourself a CubeX 3D printer? If you did, you could have a new wardrobe overnight for the cost of materials alone. Designer Janne Kyttanen has released a series of 3D printed shoe designs that are available for free download from the Cubify 3D printing marketplace. Just download the design of your choice from Cubify, set up your CubeX printer and in a matter of hours, you’re rocking a new set of kicks.

This isn’t the first 3D printed shoes we’ve seen, but it’s certainly not the last. In fact, with rapid prototyping legal restrictions on their way to expiration, we’ll be seeing a whole lot more of these very soon. As it always is with fashion, the hottest trends start with the early adopters, and Janne Kyttanen’s 3D printed shoes are a prime example.

Designer Earl Stewart has created a 3D printed hybrid shoe that merges traditional shoe styling with state-of-the-art 3D printing technologies. The heel of Stewart’s “The Bits Shoe” features a white 3D-printed mesh that continues into a solid white outsole below. This contemporary edge is matched with a classical upper design, where leather pieces are stitched together for an old-meets-new kind of contrast. The traditional leather elements are fashioned with a bit of technology on their own, as each piece is laser cut and perforated prior to stitching. The result yields a killer set of high-tech kicks that we hope are on their way to market. As soon as they are, we’ll take a size 12, please.
