The KYO footwear design combines craftsmanship and technology to challenge traditional beauty standards, celebrating authenticity and differences in feet. It uses innovative techniques like 3D scanning and printing, along with handcrafted finishes, to create shoes that encourage reflection on perfection and self-acceptance. The packaging repurposes defective samples into functional bags, adding extra value to the design and advocating for uniqueness over mass production.
