On-Demand 3D-Printed Sneakers

Madeium is Empowering a New Generation of Creators

— March 28, 2023 — Fashion
Madeium, a platform for designing both physical and digital products, partnered with Web3 technology provider Intertrust to revolutionize the fashion and footwear industry. Now, a whole new generation of athletes, designers and influencers are able to create and sell their own 3D-printed sneakers on demand. And that's not all, the direct-to-consumer sneakers are shipped with embedded NFC tags, and Intertrust’s technology tracks secondary sales and royalties back to creators.

Yxung is the first decentralized sneaker brand created on Madeium and it's benefitting from small-batch footwear production, all the while connecting consumers to authentication at a swipe.

By fusing Web3 and conventional commerce models, Madeium is poised to change the way content creators of today and tomorrow monetize their products and access new streams of revenue.
