Joining the [N12 Bikini](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/n12-3d-printed-bikini) created by Continuum, the Strvct Line will change the way people look at shoes forever. Delicate and sculptural, the resulting designs are more works of art than wearable items of clothing. Granted, people are looking for unique ways to express their individuality. Available in different colors, heel heights and styles, the shoes in the Strvct Line are then given a patent leather inset and textured rubber bottom to ensure the safety of the wearer. While the web-like pattern appears to be the most popular, the Strvct Line boasts other designs that haven't been explored as much since they push the limits of what is recognizable as a shoe. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Customized 3d-printed Footwear:** Continued innovation in customization and 3D printing will lead to more tailored and unique footwear options for consumers. - **Sculptural Shoe Designs:** Designers can leverage 3D printing and other technologies to create shoe designs that are both functional and artistic, opening up new possibilities for fashion and accessories. - **Safety and Comfort in 3d-printed Shoes:** As more companies experiment with 3D-printed footwear, there will be an increasing focus on ensuring that these shoes are not only stylish and unique, but also safe and comfortable to wear. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion and Accessories:** 3D printing and customization are disrupting traditional shoe design and manufacturing, allowing for more creativity and innovation in the fashion and accessories industry. - **Technology and Materials:** The development of new materials and technology for 3D printing is driving innovation in the footwear industry, with companies experimenting with new materials and techniques to create unique and functional footwear. - **Health and Wellness:** As 3D printing becomes more advanced and accessible, there may be opportunities to create customized footwear that can address specific foot and gait problems, improving the health and wellness of consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [3D-Printed Lattice Futuristic Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/climamog.md) - [3D-Printed Skeletal Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exoskyn.md) - [3D Printed Shoe Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customfit-3d-printed-shoes.md) - [Scan-to-Print Custom Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vivobiome.md) - [3d-Printed Collab Flip Flops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-flipflops.md) - [Futuristic 3D-Printed Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asics-novalis-styrax-breeze.md) - [Open 3D Printing Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zellerfeld-1.md) - [Ergonomic 3D-Printed Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-flip-flops.md) - [Sculptural 3D-Printed Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lv-cobra.md)
