We're Making 3D-Printed Footwear Open to Everyone

I’ll be honest: when I first saw what Presq was creating, I knew we had to team up.

3D-printed footwear isn’t new. Brands like Nike, Adidas, ASICS, and companies like Zellerfeld have been experimenting with it for years. Their shoes are stunning, and the tech is impressive. But it’s all closed off. You can buy their shoes, but you can’t customize them, remix them, or print them yourself.

That’s what makes this collaboration different.

When you bring open-source design together with culturally relevant aesthetics and accessible technology, you get something powerful: a way of making that puts creativity back in the hands of the community.

Introducing Fig.(0): Open-Source Footwear for Everyone

We’re partnering with Presq, a Los Angeles design-tech studio building prompt-to-product workflows for culturally resonant goods. The first release in our collaboration is Fig.(0), an open-source footwear design built for customization and experimentation.

Fig.(0) gives creators, designers, and innovators the tools to remix, adapt, and shape their own future of footwear.

Here’s what’s included in the first release:

• U.S. Men’s Size 10 files, plus a scaling coefficient table to resize to other sizes.
• A pre-sliced .3mf file optimized for Bambu H2D printers, designed for matte TPE 85A as the primary material and PLA as support—for clean removal, reliable performance, and a wearable finish.
• The CAD file that invites creators to treat the base model as a canvas for modular attachments, textures, and performance tweaks.

“By pairing Bambu’s performance with our design system and creative direction, we’re giving creators a practical path from imagination to a real product people can wear,” says Adam Saleh, Presq’s Founder & CEO. “And we’re doing it in a way that keeps cultural value closer to the communities that create it.”

What’s Next

This is just the beginning. Every month, Presq will release a new design drop with fresh styles you can explore, print, and make your own.

Presq’s creative direction shows how 3D printing can move beyond the workshop and into everyday life, with designs that are beautiful, wearable, and culturally relevant.

With this collaboration, we’re making it easier than ever for more people to join in, create, and shape the future of making! ✨
