The Evolve shoe was printed using Stratasys 3DFashion™ technology and contains a personalized midsole ‘Evolve Sensor’ that studies its’ wearer while recording their movement data (foot inclination, temperature, pressure and friction, etc.). The information collected through the sensor is used to create the next generation of shoe which will therefore include improved design features based on performance. The endless density grade possibilities and variety of materials were used in this design to provide incomparable softness and support. The Evolve Shoe is currently being exhibited and the Museum of the Future in Dubai.

The Sepiida shoe is a sister design to the Evolve shoe, with Assa’s design inspiration taken from the internal shell of the cuttlefish. The Sepiida shoe has an Evolve rubber-like midsole that fits snuggly inside the “shoe-sock” which allows the Sepiida midsole to mimic the feeling of buoyancy. The upper sock-like section of the design was printed directly on textile using the Stratasys 3DFashion™ technology which allowed for greater control over visual effects and material properties such as aerodynamic stretchability and durability.
