The Melonia Shoe


Naim Josefi has collaborated with fellow Stockholm student Souzan Youssouf for his 'Melonia' collection and the two designers have created something unlike anything I have seen before. The future of shoe design is looking very interesting, Josefi & Youssouf have designed and modelled the Melonia Shoe for Selective Laser Sintering who created five wearable shoes for the catwalk models using a 3D laser printer!

Naim's 2010 collection was formed around the concept of 'no waste' so the skeleton-like shoes are made from homogeneous material 'Polyamid' which can be completely recycled.


I find the shoes strangely intriguing yet somewhat ugly due to them being slightly alien to me in form, I'm not convinced they'd be that comfortable either... but that's fashion for you.
