Sure, this shoe is a marketing piece, but this kind of tech could be the way forward to end forced/child labor in china used to produce the average shoe.

- sorenjan 6y agoThis article is about automatic weaving of the upper[0], combined with a separate 3D printed sole. That's not done by forced or child labor today either[1], the supposed added value is a bespoke upper tailored to your feet by 3D scanning them first. That's not something that's really needed, regular uppers are flexible enough to work with different feet already, and it certainly isn't a way to produce the average shoe.
