Repairable Sneaker

In this free project, Max Dressendörfer developed a sneaker focused on reparability. The design allows the shoe to be maintained and repaired by any local cobbler, just like a traditional leather shoe. The upper, produced with an automatic embroidery machine, can easily be mended using a sewing machine. It is stitched to a removable rubber midsole, while the standard glued rubber outsole can be replaced without difficulty. The result is a sneaker designed for longevity and everyday repairability.
