The ‘invisible Shoe’ was born from a study of Optical Effects applied to shoe design, where the designer explores the concept of invisibility through the ‘chameleon effect’. The shoe has a reflective finished surface, creating a deceptively obscured optical effect with every step taken. Its design far exceeds the primary function of a shoe, where ‘protecting’ the foot also means ‘deleting’ or ‘immersing’ it into the environment.

The shoe was developed through a combination of leather working techniques to insure the best quality and comfort while fusing this with the advanced 3D Printing technology.
