Let's go!🚀🚀🚀
Today marks a big milestone for Koobz and our team. Friendshipclb and Endstate are launching a 3D-printed platform slide that Koobz manufactured. Besides being made out of 100% recyclable material and being super comfy, we've been able to introduce a new, groundbreaking way of authenticating shoes. We were able to embed an NFC tag into the shoe, which is impossible to remove without destroying the shoe. In the past two months, we've scaled from six printers to 35 and grown our team from 2 to 10. Our pipeline looks amazing, and if we execute all the little things that we planned for Koobz, it will become a game-changer in the #footwear #manufacturing space. We know we are not perfect, but we are committed to get there and we will do whatever it takes. Thanks to our great team for all their effort and to all the friends who have supported us from the beginning.

USMFA has descended on #DTLA, where we are kicking off two days of meetings on how to further propel the historic resurgence in domestic footwear manufacturing and strengthen the supply chains for textiles that are also critical for national security. Los Angeles is home to some of the most innovative footwear companies that are pioneering new and more sustainable manufacturing techniques and fostering a new generation of skilled workers. Special thanks to KX Inc., COMUNITYmade, INC, and Lalaland Production & Design for hosting our fall meeting in Downtown LA this week and Congressman Jimmy Gomez, a member of U.S. House Committee on Ways & Means and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, who will offer valuable insights on legislation critical to growing our industry. On hand will be reps from American Sole, BASF, Belleville Boot Company, Bixby International, BRUNT Workwear, DATCH , Deckers Brands, DESMA Elastomertechnik, Draper Knitting Company, Drexel University, EVA USA LLC, The Haartz Corporation, Huntsman Corporation, Kamik Canada Inc., KARL MAYER, Koobz, Laforma presents, McRae Industries, Inc., Meramec Group, Inc., New Balance, Okabashi Brands, Inc., Polylabs, Precision Testing Laboratories, Rogers Foam Corporation, Rubberlite, Inc., Seidel Tanning Corp., Signet Mills, University of Massachusetts Lowell, Vibram Group, Z-Wovens Fabrics The domestic footwear manufacturing industry has made significant strides in recent years. Through innovation and targeted investments, it is building a more robust supply chain for yarns, fabrics, and foams that are also essential for medical devices and protective equipment. But significant global competition remains. USFMA is bringing together government and industry leaders for production tours and to update our aggressive national policy and trade agenda to take the industry to the next level. #footwear #manufacturing #onshoring #supplychain #robotics #trade #innovation #workforce #textiles

If you haven't got your Monday morning cup of coffee, here is an article by WIRED on the future of footwear. Thanks, Carlton Reid for featuring Koobz as the leader in the field! PS: Meet me at Formnext - Where ideas take shape or Barcelona Footwearology Footwearise.
Honored to be featured yet again in WIRED magazine, this time in a fantastic in-depth article by Carlton Reid, together with so many others that are indeed making the 3D printing revolution happen, such as Andy Polk, Cornelius Schmitt, Philippe Holthuizen, Kuba Graczyk and Troy Nachtigall. Also very happy they mention #Footwearise where many of these same people will attend and pretty much all of the shoes mentioned in the article will be on display in our 3D innovation expo, which is part of the event! Enjoy the article and get your tickets here: https://lnkd.in/dRNPsQ2k.
