Heron Preston x Zellerfeld The HERON01 "Black"

The 3D-printed footwear introduces ZellerFOAM technology and TextureMap printing capabilities.

Zellerfeld, the innovative 3D-printing footwear company, continues to make leaps and bounds in the industry as the brand has unveiled its latest work with no other than renowned multi-hyphenate Heron Preston.

The announcement arrives just days after the Zellerfeld-co-created Louis Vuitton Cobra hit the runway in Hong Kong during LV’s pre-fall 2024 show. The 3D footprint of Zellerfeld’s past work, the Cobra, and now the Heron Preston x Zellerfeld The HERON01 “Black” all align with the company’s forward-thinking designs and mark a new era within the industry.

The Heron Preston x Zellerfeld The HERON01 “Black” is the brand’s official introduction of its ZellerFOAM technology and the revolutionary TextureMap innovations that represent an extraordinary advancement in 3D-printed footwear. The combination results in a breakthrough that integrates different textures into any footwear design using a single material, delivering visual appeal, heightened functionality, increased comfort and sustainability.

“Working with Zellerfeld has been incredibly inspiring, seeing how far the partnership has grown since the beginning,” Heron Preston said in a press release. “I’m excited to continue to create with the team as we explore and develop innovative ways to further advance footwear design.”

With Louis Vuitton, KidSuper, Moncler, Rains, Pangaia and now Heron Preston, Zellerfeld’s prolific names of portfolio heightens once more while pushing the envelop in design and footwear.

“Heron has truly become an icon within the printed footwear community,” said Zellerfeld CEO Cornelius Schmitt, in a press release. “His belief in us from the very beginning, fills me with great pride as we continue to innovate together. It’s particularly exciting that the HERON01s will be the first design to receive this breakthrough innovation update.”
