3D-Printed Sneakers
In collaboration with our manufacturing partner Zellerfeld, we will co-create and develop a 3D-printed sneaker collection with the Pioneers. Our platform will also distribute 3D-printed sneakers from the verified creators of our community.
Futures Factory (the company behind the Pioneers collection) is building the leading web3 footwear platform that will empower creators and their fans to design the future of footwear.
We are a creator-first startup operating at the forefront of the sneakers culture and web3 founded in 2021.
With our network of +70 designers and brands, our ambition is to be the accelerator for the most promising footwear creators, backing them with finance, web3 infra and our community.
At the end of 2021, we raised +$2M with great investors (Voodoo, Seedcamp, Jimmy Choo's former CEO, Stride,) to accelerate our growth and platform development.
