Why 16kw
The name is an homage to the amount of energy spent to print the first prototype. We wanted to name the product after the brand to give importance to the story of its birth and development. This product is the son of a close collaboration between Koobz and the designer Fabrizio De Lucia from Affinity Space Design Studio.

Embracing Earth positivity.
Made to order
We believe that holding inventory, storing, and making excess stuff is not environmentally friendly, and that's not cool. Therefore, we will only make a shoe once you place an order.
Reduce impact
Your shoes are made on a 3D printer in the USA, which reduces the carbon footprint caused by shipping from overseas. Printing also reduces operations necessary to make a shoe, which simplifies the process and makes it the most environmentally friendly way of manufacturing footwear.
Empathy & Equality
By onshoring manufacturing, we want to embrace equal and fair pay ensuring our process is environmentally friendly. The 97% of footwear is manufactured overseas, where labor and environmental laws are not on par with the ones in the USA.
