Moncler, the luxury outdoor clothing brand renowned for its Swiss craftsmanship, has joined forces with 3D-printing technology specialist Zellerfeld to launch a limited edition 3D-printed version of its sought-after Trailgrip sneaker. This introduces Moncler to the realm of 3D printing, which is becoming increasingly popular among high-end fashion houses as the new standard in production methods.
The 3D-printed Trailgrip sneaker stands out not only for its visually appealing design but also its commitment to the environment. Made from a single recyclable material, it aligns perfectly with Moncler’s dedication to sustainability and eco-consciousness.
Cornelius Schmitt, CEO of Zellerfeld, believes that this collaboration marks a significant turning point for the footwear industry. Luxury fashion houses like Moncler are spearheading the transition from traditional factory manufacturing processes to embracing 3D printing as the future of production models.
To showcase this groundbreaking creation, the 3D-printed Trailgrip sneaker will be featured in Paris at Moncler’s Studio Ascenti, an experiential footwear showroom that highlights the brand’s most innovative designs. The showroom also includes a product laboratory section that explores the connection between natural elements and seasonal style. Visitors will have the opportunity to view the Zellerfeld-produced shoe alongside Moncler’s upcoming collaborations with Adidas Originals and Salehe Bembury.
Regrettably, the limited edition Trailgrip 3D will not be widely available, as it is exclusively reserved for members of Moncler’s global footwear community. These fortunate members have also been granted exclusive access to the showroom preview, offering them a first glimpse of Moncler’s future offerings. However, Zellerfeld has hinted that a 3D-printed Moncler product for broader distribution may be on the horizon.
In conclusion, Moncler’s partnership with Zellerfeld to create a 3D-printed version of its Trailgrip sneaker demonstrates the brand’s commitment to innovation and sustainability. By embracing cutting-edge production methods, Moncler remains at the forefront of the fashion industry, shaping the future of luxury fashion.
