Highly collectible, the new sneaker combines 3D-printed elements and the House’s Demetra material in a combination of style and technology.
In a daring exploration of contemporary luxury, Gucci has combined its heritage in craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology to create the House’s first sneaker with 3D-printed elements. The Gucci Cub3d’s distinctive sole, created using the Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) technique, features a lattice structure inspired by the polyhedron.
The Gucci Cub3d’s upper is crafted mainly of Demetra, the House’s material that combines quality, softness, and durability. Customized for the new sneaker, the material is from 70% plant-based raw materials that are primarily from renewable and bio-based sources, while ensuring peak performance. Additional materials used for the upper contain 100% recycled polyester, and internal materials contain 88% recycled polyester and leather made through a metal-free or chrome-free tanning process.
The highly collectible sneaker, which will be produced in a limited edition of 20 pairs, is presented in dedicated packaging and will be unveiled at the Gucci Via Monte Napoleone flagship boutique from April 16-21.
