Nomoq Jaws came out of curiosity—plain and simple. Coming from a traditional footwear background, I had to unlearn a few things just to understand how 3D printing reshapes the design process. No moodboards, no styling—it was more like a conversation between old-school making and industrial possibility. The question was: how do you build tooling that’s near-impossible to pull off traditionally, but still works off a standard last? Some angles of the final product feel totally expected. Others make you stop and go, ‘Wait… how did they do that?’ That tension was the goal. Shoutout to Nomoq and their process—it allowed us to explore that grey area where design and manufacturing blur.
