The conceptual 'Sudio Runners' have been designed by Cullan Kerner as a footwear style for the metaverse that maintains an ultra-modern design that highlights an eco aesthetic with ample attitude.
The shoes are characterized by their monomaterial construction that would be made possible thanks to 3D printing and have a one-piece design to help further enhance rigidity. The shoes have a futuristic design that would provide optimal comfort and style, while also ensuring they are recyclable after use.
The conceptual 'Sudio Runners' are described by Cullan as being "functional art pieces" and, while only in the virtual world at present, could one day become a reality. The shoes are available as NFTs on Exchange Art for interested 3D printer enthusiasts to purchase.
