The 'Earth Moc' shoe has been designed by Daniel Shirley as a flexible footwear style focused on providing impressive comfort and style. The shoe features a 3D-printed construction achieved by Sintratec and boasts a series of intertwining straps that call to mind the roots and vines found in the forest. This further drives home the natural design of the footwear, while the sculpted form ensures optimal comfort post-hike or when wearing them on short walks.
The 'Earth Moc' shoe has been 3D printed as a proof-of-concept, but is not available for purchase at the moment. Designed by Shirley as a passion project, the shoe style highlights a lightweight construction and is imagined in several finishes for enhanced aesthetic appeal.
