Using SolidWorks 3D design software to develop the shoe digitally, Soreq then utilized a printer from Aran-RD SLS to produce the Energetic Pass out of Nylon 12 material (which offers more impact strength then any other FDM thermoplastic). Her latest project, the Energetic Pass shoe, is similar in the fact that it is shape-inspired, but the spiraling design showcases a much more intricate and aesthetically mind-boggling shoe. Soreq’s Homage to Prism was her attempt to showcase the presence of the human foot even when it’s absent within the confines of footwear, and also used the design to “emphasize the meeting point between two different bodies”. This initial design was printed with FullCure 720 material, giving the shoe a transparent quality that adds to its psychedelically-inspired nature. The outcome of her first 3D printed shoe was minimalistic, but unique, basically taking the shape of the prism and adding space for the foot smack-dab in the middle. The Prism design was inspired by a combination of 20 th century psychedelic artwork and Pink Floyd’s classic album The Dark Side of the Moon. This isn’t Soreq’s first 3D printing rodeo, prior to the Energetic Pass she designed the unique “Homage to Prism” shoe in 2014 (pictured below), the first 3D printed shoe ever created by a Bezalel Academy student. The Energetic Pass collection, created by design student Neta Soreq for the final project in her shoe design course, consists of two sets of 3D printed shoes inspired by a natural spiraling design.
Coming straight from Israel’s Bezalel Academy of Art and Design is a shoe design that looks as fit for a modern museum as it does for your feet. As the influence of 3D printing slowly spreads among the fashion world, especially in the industry of footwear, uniquely designed products and prototypes are grabbing our attention from all around the world.
