PEAK Introduces 3D Printed Basketball Shoes

Several professional athletes have sported footwear made with 3D printing, like Olympic runner Shelly-Ann Fraser-Price and Cleveland Indians pitcher Corey Kluber, just to name a couple.

The boots were designed and produced by PEAK Sport Products, the Chinese company responsible for the 3D printed "Future" sneakers released earlier this year.

The next opportunity: 3D printed race cycling shoes.
