From Skyscrapers to Sneakers: The 3D-Printed Nebula by Mallet London and Zellerfeld

Luxury footwear brand Mallet London have stepped into the future with a bold 3D-printed collaboration alongside industry trailblazers Their latest creation, the Nebula, reimagines Mallet’s signature Neptune silhouette through an architectural lens, drawing inspiration from London’s iconic Gherkin skyscraper. The result is a sculptural, futuristic sneaker that blends cutting-edge design with innovative technology.

Utilising Zellerfeld's state-of-the-art 3D-printing process, the Nebula is constructed as a single, unibody structure – eliminating the need for glue, stitching or conventional materials. This method not only enhances durability but also allows for a fully customisable fit that moulds to the wearer’s foot over time, ensuring optimal comfort and performance.

Available in a quartet of striking shades – black, red, orange and oat – each pair is individually made-to-order, reinforcing the exclusivity and bespoke nature of the design. Priced at $229, the Nebula is available via Zellerfeld’s platform, offering a direct-to-consumer experience that reflects the brand’s commitment to innovation and sustainability.

Mallet London’s futuristic foray into 3D printing aligns with a broader industry movement towards advanced manufacturing.
