The Cryptide Sneaker has been designed by Stephan Henrich for Sintratec as a footwear solution that would provide wearers with an unexpectedly futuristic aesthetic that also doesn't hold back when it comes to ergonomics and comfort.
The shoe is fully SLS 3D-printed and boasts a one-piece design that appears ready for real world wear and would leave behind a distinct kind of print with each step. The sneaker could be printed to the exact needs of the wearer by utilizing a 3D scan of their foot, which would have no two quite alike and also enable total comfort with every wear.
The Cryptide Sneaker maintains a durable design thanks to the aforementioned one-piece construction and could be secured into place using a single-lace system.
