Saucony Matrix sneaker

This piece of fashionable footwear was digitized as part of a real-life project instigated by performance & running gear brand Saucony. The original “Matrix” shoe was launched (like the popular movie) during the 1990s. When it launched, it perfectly encapsulated the time – it brought the old & new worlds crashing together – and proved something of a game changer.

Fast-forward to today, and Saucony has brought back this classic style for a modern audience. Captured with the ultra-high-resolution Artec Spider II, the above 3D model has allowed for the design to be brought back and even improved upon. Contact-free 3D scanning made it possible for fine details to be recreated, without damaging a rare sample of the original product.

And just look at the texture! Rotate the model to check out the rubber grips, lacing, and breathable fabric on the front of the shoe. Every last detail is captured in 3D. Check out the full case study for more information here.
