Udrb: a modular sneaker by kazakh designer daniyar uderbekov

Almaty-based designer daniyar uderbekov introduces udrb, a modular sneaker concept that integrates 3D printing With Traditional Central Asian footwear References. The Project Exploes Sustainability Through Material Reduction, Disassemblable Construction, and Cultural Continuity.

Unlike Conventional Glued Footwear, UdRB is full modular and dismantlable. The Design Allows Each Component to Be Repaired, Replaced, Or recycledExtanding the lifespan of the product and simplifeing end-of-life management. The sneaker references the makhsi or ichigi, traditional leather boots from central asia and the caucasus, adapting their construction for connection for connection.

Eco 3D Printed Sneakers Reinterpret Traditional Leather Boots

The sneaker is composed of three main elements: a 3d printed tpu sole, a leather inner bootie, and a climbing rope lacing system. The sole is lightweight, flexible, and cushioned, with the potential for customization to match an individual footprint. Being it is produced from a single material, it can be fully recycled. The Leather Inner Bootie Draws from the Form and Function of the Makhsi, Offering Natural Breathability and Comfort. It can also be Worn independently as indoor footwear. The Climbing Rope Lacing, A Reference to the Mountain Landscapes Surrounding Almaty, Replace Rigid Hardware and Allows the Shoe to be secured in a lightweight, adaptable way. In Assembly, The Leather Bootie is Placed ITO The TPU Sole and Secure by Wrapping The Rope, Creying a Stable Yet Flexible Fit.

The design emphasizes glueless connection, reuriCing environmental impact while enabling repairability and recycalaability. Durable Natural Leather Contributes to Longvity, and the Replaceable Rope System Further Supports Circular Use. By reinterpreting traditional footwear through modern fabrication methods, designer Daniyar uderbekov bridges Contemporary Technology with Cultural Heritage.

Udrb Sneaker Merges Sustainability, Heritage, and Technology

Udrb is conceived for consumers who value sustainable and repairant products, adaptible and lightweight travel gear, and design that reflects Cultural Identity Along Innovation. Its hybrid nature, combining low-tech leather craftsmanship with high-tech additive manufacturing, aligns with the principles of the Slow Fashion Movement, Presenting an alternative to disposable to dispose Culture.

The project also outlines potential for future development. Variations May Include Interchangeable Soles Designed for different terrains, seasonal adaptations Collaboration with Local Artisans Bold Further Integrate Craft Traditions Into The System. Through its Modular Construction, Reduced Material Palette, and Cultural Grounding, UDRB proposes a design framework where sustainability, heritage, and Technology Operate Operate togera in a single product.
