Where the other 2.5D projects rethink what we might expect from the design of apparel and objects, the 2.5D Shoes hone in on how we might make them differently.

Description
Current footwear manufacturing is labor- and material-intensive, requiring skilled workers over 15 processes just to fabricate a standard sneaker.
In addition to material waste generated, the shoes are often shipped in boxes of air; and due to standardized sizing, return rates are often as high as 50%.
To make matters worse, the material complexity of shoes often means that they are impossible to recycle, often ending up in landfills, where they easily last for another 30 to 40 years.
