Plastic 3D Printed Shoes Incorporates iPhone Holder

Mashing a plethora of industrial design categories will give you exactly what you’d think – bright plastic shoes with iPhone holders. The iPhone Mashup Shoe does exactly what it was commissioned to do, but it feels gaudy from trying to be too much all at once. Who wants to reach down to their feet to answer a phone call?

Designer Alan Nguyen had this to say about the shoes:

A super fun project that allowed me to question the possibilities of fusing all three categories of Art, Fashion and Product Design with the use of 3D Printing.
