In the next addition of their fast-selling collaboration, Heron Preston and Zellerfeld have returned with an all-new 3D-printed footwear model, the HERON01 Black.<\/p>\n
This latest design comes with significant material innovation, utilizing Zellerfeld’s new ZellerFOAM, a proprietary invention that offers smooth surface finishes, super-foam “squishiness,” and knit-like softness. Additionally, the sneaker was crafted using the TextureMap printing capability, which is capable of printing mixed textures to more-precisely execute the brands’ desired lines and patterns.<\/p>\n
The design itself features a streamlined collar for ease of entry, as well as an enhanced midsole shape and ample arch support. In addition to ZellerFOAM, the upper’s multi-textural finish includes Zellerfeld’s established ZellerMESH textile, opting for a more-realistic contrast in the various materials and setting a higher standard for 3D-printed footwear.<\/p>\n
\u201cWorking with Zellerfeld has been incredibly inspiring, seeing how far the partnership has grown since the beginning,” said Preston in a statement. “I’m excited to continue to create with the team as we explore and develop innovative ways to further advance footwear design.\u201d<\/p>\n
