UNITED NUDE+3D SYSTEMS: Rem D Koolhaus Hosts #RE-INVENTINGSHOES Collaborations

25 Bond Street/NYC


United Nude footwear is cutting edge everything-the materials, styles, manufacturing/production, the starchitect 'collabs - ALL SO immensely conceptually intriguing---

No wonder the #RE-INVENTINGSHOES gets used (often+also) for this limited edition of fabulousness... the footwear brand and its creative light Rem D. Koolhaus could probably have registered/ trademarked this expression.

On exhibit NOW-in the Noho NYC store-the latest very limited edition of five styles by design icons Ben Van Berkel, Zaha Hadid, Ross Lovegrove, Fernando Romero and Michael Young.

Actually we were told currently-only three pairs per style at the moment...but it is anticipated that 50 per style-each taking 24 hours to 3D print using "...the highest quality...Selective Laser Sintering...in  a hard nylon and an all new soft rubber material" are set to retail for serious $.

The results ---pushing the boundaries indeed---no doubt destined for art collections worldwide.
