Architectural studio MAD Architects and Fendi work in collaboration to create a futuristic sneaker model that is defined by its artful form. The shoes are a technical-centric silhouette with a lightweight build and forward-thinking visual. It boasts an ultramodern design that is backed by its ergonomic body delivered by the contoured upper and form-fitting sole unit.
For accessibility, it slips on seamlessly and features a fluid lining finished by an injected organic sole and curvaceous metallic accent that is reflective of MAD Architects' founder Ma Yansong's work. This fuses Yansong's design style with organic forms that are created using modern tech. Additionally, the shoes do not have the signature FF logo, replacing this with a minimal Fendi inscription by the midsole.
