LuxCreo, an end-to-end 3D printing solutions company, in collaboration with global sports brand ASICS, has announced the launch of the second generation ACTIBREEZE HYBRID SANDAL. The sandal is the third footwear product from the successful partnership between LuxCreo and ASICS.
The new sandal features a 3D-printed elastic footbed designed for advanced breathability and zoned comfort. The production uses a premium 3D-printed elastomer from LuxCreo, which features excellent energy return and elasticity. The sandal is the result of extensive testing by the ASICS Institute of Sport Science (ISS).
“Our collaboration with ASICS is a testament to the forward-thinking ethos that drives our companies. By bringing a consumer hybrid 3D printed footwear product to market, we are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible and forging a partnership that thrives on innovation and excellence,” said Michael Strohecker, Co-Founder and Chief Revenue Officer, LuxCreo. “Together, we are pushing possibilities in footwear.”
Production is enabled by LuxCreo’s Smart Factory Production Service, which offers flexible and fast production.
“Identifying the perfect collaborator for this venture was a challenging task. We sought a partner who embraced an innovative approach to 3D printed production and possessed superior hardware and material capabilities. We needed a team that could scale up production, had a wealth of experience, and was brimming with talent. LuxCreo has proven to be that partner,” said Chris Ekman, Sr. Manager of Global Product Line Footwear at ASICS.
The ACTIBREEZE HYBRID SANDAL are available now at ASICS retailers, online stores and specialty running stores worldwide for $80.
