Following Adidas and Under Armour’s footsteps, Beijing sports brand Peak is also pushing out 3D printed running shoes. Named “Future 1”, the shoe is now already sold in China with a price tag of RMB 1299 – about RM 820.
The 3D printed running shoes are based on the most popular Peak FLY V, with 3D printed technology applied. The comfortable and breathable shoes are made with special lattice structure as insole by using 3D technology, and SLS laser sintering technology shapes the shoes with the more elastic TPU, which ensure the lightness and flexibility.
Peak brought in 3D printing technology in 2013, and has since used 3D printing technology to produce shoe molds, to scrutinize mass production quality, to make 3D printed foot molds for NBA player Dwight Howard and achieve exclusive design for players’ foot molds. Based on 3D printed technology, “Longji” running shoes were awarded the first prize in the first China Industrial Design Competition.
“In the future, Peak will insist on technological innovation research and release more professional sports products to meet the mass requirements, and become the leading sports brand.” Zhihua Xu, general manager of Peak Sport said.
