These platform heels integrate several innovative elements, making the wearer truly stand out from the crowd and elevating their style game. From United Nude, the Float shoes are created with a compact Cube 3D printer and do not have heels. The fashionable footwear is made in three parts that are connected to form one shoe. The futuristic design is also geometric and uses color blocking beautifully.
Not available to the masses, the platform heels are an indication of how shoe retail could change in terms of the online shopping experience. According to United Nude Co-Founder Rem D. Koolhaas, "this design is about creating something beautiful and interesting and it's about experimenting, moving forward and about learning."
