3D-Knit Hiking Footwear

Diemme and Byborre Team Up to Launch 3D-Printed Footwear Collection

High-end Italian footwear brand Diemme has partnered with ByBorre, an Amerstdam-based textile innovation studio, to release a new collection of footwear crafted from 3D-printed fabrics. The capsule merges Diemme's signature hiking-inspired aesthetic with a one-of-a-kind material that presents unique patterns inspired by the road layouts surrounding Monte Grappa in Italy.

The collection includes two new silhouettes: the 'Maggiore Black 3D Knit' and the 'Roccia Vet Black 3D Knit.' The 'Maggiore' is a slip-on sandal ideal for everyday wear. It comes equipped with a rugged 'Vibram Fast Trail' sold, waterproof sympatex lining, leather details, and a 3D knit 100% polyester upper.

The 'Roccia Vet' is a robust hiking boot with a desert rubber sole offered in the same black navy colorway as the 'Maggiore.' It too boasts waterproof lining, black leather stylings, and 3D knit 100% polyester upper, but incorporates black hiking laces, a branded heel tab, and shiny metal lace holes.
