The first in a compelling new series of research films from the CG-futurists at XK studio in London, XKR_001 “examines the aesthetics of footwear and the craft of tailoring in a digital realm.”

“The sneaker has been re-imagined and articulated in various material styles, while its core components, its thread, cloth, patterns, and colors are deconstructed and re-assembled into new forms and digitally tailored sculptures. These are inflated, stretched, bent, and twisted to explore their behavior under various constraints and forces.”
