Sofía Martín Franco, a graduate of the Degree in Product Design at UDIT, University of Design, Innovation and Technology, has won the High Heels category at the prestigious international Global Footwear Awards.
Her project, "TireNova", consists of a pair of innovative and sustainable high heels designed in 3D printing from recycled tyres. The upper, made from biodegradable PLA, adds a translucent and modern touch to these heels, combining fluid curves with structural integrity.
