The 'CyberShoes' footwear project has been designed by Los Angeles-based 2-LA Design as a footwear style that pays homage to an electric vehicle model: the Tesla Cybertruck. The shoes are characterized by their angular form that follows the same silhouette design of the Cybertruck, albeit in a decidedly smaller, shoe-sized format. The shoes are crafted using a 3D printing process that achieves a lattice structured design to make them inherently lightweight and bouncy underfoot for maximum comfort.
The 'CyberShoes' footwear project follows an unexpected inspiration that could be favored by avid fans of the automotive brand or simply of obscure shoe styles. The slip-on style of the footwear plays with the Cybertruck-inspired form and also positions them well for laidback fashion fans alike.
