The Cryptide is the name of this special shoe, which is manufactured using a 3D printing process. Anyone who wears this sneaker should leave “traces like a cryptid”, according to its German inventor.

- Even if it doesn’t look like it: This shoe consists of only one single material.
- It was designed on the computer. A 3D printer then takes over the “production”.
- The sole is particularly striking.
We have here on Netzwelt many times over Reported high-tech shoes. Also about such coming out of the 3D printer. But among all the high-tech kicks, The Cryptide stands out.
In cooperation with the printer manufacturer Sintratec from Switzerland, the German architect Stephan Henrich developed the special sneaker. Take a look at him in the video below.
“The Cryptide consists of a sole with an open design, combined and printed with an upper that is not much more than a sock. As the name suggests, the sneaker is inspired by so-called Cryptids – mythical creatures like Bigfoot or Loch Ness, which it may or may not exist,” it says Sintratec. “When you wear this shoe, you leave traces like a cryptid,” adds Henrich.
Both the upper and the distinctive sole are made of a single material, a rubber-like elastomer. The elasticity and possibility of movement is achieved solely by means of different wall thicknesses.
The sneaker should be comfortable to wear and ergonomic. It is not yet clear whether the special shoe will be available for purchase. We present you more worth seeing high-tech shoes at this point on Netzwelt. The reaction of a 79-year-old is also worth seeing at first sight of a modern 3D printer.
