The CAGED WEDGE redefines luxury lifestyle footwear with its modular midsole, allowing for customizable compression and unique styling. Crafted for eco-conscious queer youth, this fashion wedge blends bold design with sustainable practices, embodying the spirit of individuality and environmental mindfulness.

Inspired by the biomorphic shapes of cellular biology, the CAGED WEDGE mimics soft tissue and membrane structures, creating a protective yet nurturing "cage" that envelops the wearer. This design is modeled using Gravity Sketch and 3D printed for a plush, flexible fit that moves with you.
