The automotive innovator CUPRA and Berlin-based footwear lab Zellerfeld have officially launched their first collaborative footwear piece: a fully 3D‑printed sneaker shaped by parametric design and built to order. The pair is now available for purchase via the official CUPRA Design House online shop.
What Makes These Sneakers Stand Out
- All‑in‑one TPU construction
Printed in a single build from zellerFOAM®—a durable TPU material that’s quick‑drying, odor-resistant, washable, and fully recyclable. No glue, stitching, or weak spots. - Dynamic parametric design
The sneaker’s form is shaped by algorithms, resulting in a fluid, responsive surface that appears alive and expressive with each step. - Custom-fitted to your feet
Each pair is made to order based on a foot scan—eliminating the need for molds or standard sizes and ensuring a snug, seamless fit. - Fused lattice sole for performance
The integrated lattice sole delivers lightweight support and adaptive cushioning, all built in one print.
Sustainability Meets Style
CUPRA and Zellerfeld emphasize environmental responsibility. The sneaker’s one-material design not only cuts out manufacturing waste but also promotes recyclability: worn-out shoes can be returned and regenerated into new products. This launch is part of CUPRA’s wider “Design House” initiative focused on sustainable, cross-industry creative projects.
Ordering & Price
Priced at approximately $249 with a typical delivery window of 3–4 weeks.
After ordering, you receive a link for a simple foot scan using your phone. The pair is then printed and shipped straight to your door.
This launch signals a shift in design thinking—CUPRA’s parametric aesthetic, rooted in high-performance automotive design, is crossing over into lifestyle products . For Zellerfeld, the collaboration cements its reputation as a leader in on-demand, recyclable, digitally‑driven footwear.
The CUPRA × Zellerfeld Parametric Sneaker isn’t just a shoe—it’s a statement. It merges cutting-edge tech, sustainability, and fashion-forward design into a seamless package. Whether you’re a sneakerhead, tech enthusiast, or eco-conscious consumer, these sneakers are poised to become a new benchmark in footwear innovation.
