The 3D printed shoe created by Alan Nguyen is a piece designed to celebrate FreshFiber's "most successful iPhone cases." The artful creation is truly a symbol for the brand's unusual printed designs, combining footwear with 3D printing and Apple products.
Nguyen's 'iPhone Mashup Shoe' has a sculptural design that mixes several patterns and textures. The design of the shoes is as bold as their color -- the most unusual aspect being the integrated iPhone holster. Although the design looks secure enough to function, in reality it would not be practical for frequent texters; but as an art piece it is a marvel.
At first sight the choice of a commemorative shoe seems like an odd one, but it is the perfect illustration of the concept that their cases offer the same protection and style as shoes do.
