3D-Printed Sneakers Inspired by the Lexus IS 350 Are Not Made for Walking 1 Mar 2021, 9:30 UTC ·

Carmakers and shoe companies team up more often than you think. Nike did crossovers with Porsche and Aston Martin in the past, while Fila and Puma created Ferrari-inspired sneakers at some point. So it s not surprising to see RTFKT release its own car-based sneakers. 5 photos
Probably a premiere for the shoe industry, these sneakers are inspired by a Lexus. The 2021 Lexus IS 350 F Sport, to be precise, and they even feature 3D-printed parts. Obviously, the sole resembles a tire, while the front of the sneaker includes elements that mimic the Lexus spindle grille and the sedan s carbon-fiber splitter. The latter is 3D-printed to mimic carbon-fiber weave, as are the inserts on the sides.
The Fast and Furious franchise might seem to stray further and further away from the racing action that ignited the series. However, the enthusiasts are obviously still out there in the real world, doing their competitive sprinting thing. And the very idea of a drag race involving a Porsche 911 and a Lexus IS sounds enticing.
