We were always fascinated by the beauty of different textiles.
When you see such a detailed picture of a structure of some amazing fabric, you can definitely understand the whole world of exploration and development behind its creation.
And you are just mesmerized by the beauty of it.
So we started our THM MACROSHOTS editorial series, where we explore the complexity, depth, and beauty of different fabrics, textiles, materials, and hardware through the macro lens.

What we will analyze this time, however, appears to be pure innovation: we notice right away that it does not feature any fabrics, laces, or components we are used to seeing in the footwear of today. This is a limited edition of the already iconic Moncler Trailgrip, developed in collaboration with Zellerfeld, the industry leader in 3D-printing and innovative footwear technology. The company takes a completely new approach to shoe manufacturing, offering fully scalable 3D-printed footwear production at the push of a button.
Zellerfeld’s technology represents the future of footwear creation and manufacturing. With limitless design potential, unparalleled functionality and comfort, and sustainability at its core, the company’s footwear revolutionizes the legacy processes and eliminates long development cycles and the burdens of the supply chain. Zellerfeld’s design and production platform empowers brands, creators, and designers to expand their creative boundaries and push the limits of what is currently possible in the footwear industry.

Designed and printed using Zellerfeld’s innovative 3D-printing technology, the Moncler Trailgrip 3D comes in a seamless, one-piece design made of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) one-piece material.
The filament used and the printing process allows the density and stiffness of the shoe to be adjusted at the most critical points, resulting in unprecedented elasticity and flexibility on the upper, while stiffening the area corresponding to the sole to provide support and comfort.
During the 3D development, the mesh texture is generated through an algorithm that takes into account the parameters of the last, cavities and thicknesses in order to 3D-print the shoe to exact design specifications.

Following Moncler’s design philosophy, the original Trailgrip sneaker released for Fall-Winter 2022, took us on the journey from the extreme conditions of the peaks, down the valley, and to the crowded city streets, providing the same protection, comfort, and lightness.
Its version made through additive manufacturing picks up the lines of the chunky sole into a one-piece silhouette, incorporating a heel spoiler that helps to easily remove the shoes using the other foot hands-free.

It is also fascinating to note how the extreme lugs of the tread continue along the entire sole of the foot up to the toe and continue to the instep of the foot, where it branches off and wraps around the ankle, lowering the thickness of the “nails” until they merge sinuously with the rest of the upper.
We find on the sides some curved and organic lines that stretch until they touch the dividing line with the sole.
The inspiration comes from concentric curved lines where waves form on the surface of the water.

It is amazing to note the quality of the details and their definition, which allows the insertion of logos in relief and other technical details.
Founded in 2020 and co-headquartered in San Francisco, US, and Hamburg, Germany, Zellerfeld’s innovative use of materials and its proprietary printing processes have significant advantages over traditional footwear. Not only are 3D-printed shoes comfortable, functional, and breathable, they are developed at unprecedented speeds, produced from a single recyclable material, custom-fitted, and engineered to exact specifications.
Members of the Moncler footwear community will receive the Trailgrip 3D by Zellerfeld as an invitation to the Paris edition of Studio Ascenti: an open-format experiential space for Moncler footwear.
The platform will invite guests to see and experience the latest seasonal design and innovations by Moncler footwear, shaping future possibilities of form, fit, and fabrication.
