In a bold fusion of tradition and technology, Gucci has unveiled its latest innovation: the Gucci Cub3d sneaker, the brand’s inaugural footwear featuring 3D-printed components. This limited-edition release, comprising just 20 pairs, will debut at Gucci’s flagship store on Via Montenapoleone in Milan from April 16 to 21, 2025.
The standout feature of the Gucci Cub3d is its intricately designed midsole, crafted using Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) technology. This advanced 3D printing method allows for the creation of a complex lattice structure, inspired by polyhedral geometry, resulting in a sole that is both lightweight and supportive. The lattice design not only enhances the shoe’s aesthetic appeal but also provides superior cushioning and flexibility.
