Monomaterial Metaverse Shoes

The 'Sudio Runners' by Cullan Kerner Have a 3D-Printed Design

— March 18, 2022 — Fashion
The conceptual 'Sudio Runners' have been designed by Cullan Kerner as a footwear style for the metaverse that maintains an ultra-modern design that highlights an eco aesthetic with ample attitude.

The shoes are characterized by their monomaterial construction that would be made possible thanks to 3D printing and have a one-piece design to help further enhance rigidity. The shoes have a futuristic design that would provide optimal comfort and style, while also ensuring they are recyclable after use.

The conceptual 'Sudio Runners' are described by Cullan as being "functional art pieces" and, while only in the virtual world at present, could one day become a reality. The shoes are available as NFTs on Exchange Art for interested 3D printer enthusiasts to purchase.

2. Metaverse Fashion - Expanding the creative possibilities and reach of fashion by designing virtual clothing and shoes catered towards metaverse avatars with potential for real-world adaptation.
3. Nfts in Fashion - Non-fungible tokens revolutionize the fashion industry by enabling artists and designers to sell digital designs, promote exclusivity, and encourage eco-friendly virtual consumption.
Industry Implications
