Bill of Materials
Description
Waveform Shoe is a bold, stylish accessory with a strong character. Its sharp layered geometry, inspired by origami and sea waves, gives the design a striking sculptural presence. The ripples on the surface of the shoe however are more than just an aesthetic choice: they provide flexibility to the upper body of these sneakers and enhance grip through the zigzag pattern on the sole.
The design also features an extra wide toe area for improved comfort.
A playful detail, in the shape of a tiny boat sailing across the surface, pays tongue-in-cheek homage to the 3D printing community’s classic test model and is an optional element for those looking for extra flare.
Created with Rhino + Grasshopper through parametric design principles, Waveform Shoe fuses experimental aesthetics with everyday practicality.
This project was developed in collaboration with Alessio

Alternatively, you can use the table below to set the scale manually. It lists foot length, width, and the corresponding scaling ratios for European shoe sizes.
