Shoe concept brings Cybertruck aesthetics to your feet

I’m not that adventurous when it comes to shoes. I own several pairs of sneakers, one pair of flats, and a pair of boots. That’s about it. My collection is more about versatility and comfort than chasing trends. I don’t usually go for designs that are out of this world or that defy traditional ideas of what shoes are supposed to look like. Sure, I might be drawn to a funky print or a bold color every now and then, but more often than not, I lean toward practical fits that complement my outfit rather than compete with it. But what if the shoes you’re wearing are the outfit? What if they’re the statement—the conversation starter—the “What are those?!” moment that’s actually a compliment?
Enter CyberShoes: a conceptual footwear project by Los Angeles-based design studio 2-LA Design that has me rethinking everything I thought I knew (or wanted) from a pair of shoes. I never imagined the Tesla Cybertruck would inspire a fashion piece, let alone a shoe. But here we are. CyberShoes are a bold fusion of industrial design and futuristic fashion, unapologetically borrowing their aesthetic from the brutalist geometry of the Cybertruck.
Designer: 2-LA Design
Think angular shapes, sharp edges, and an aggressive silhouette that looks like it belongs in a sci-fi movie rather than your closet. And yet, it’s not just for show. The shoes themselves look like tiny architectural sculptures for your feet. They’re minimalist, yet unmistakably bold. They don’t follow fashion trends; they start conversations. It’s the kind of footwear that doesn’t just complement your look—it defines it.
CyberShoes stand out with their sharply defined, minimalist silhouette that echoes the Cybertruck’s distinctive design language. The exterior’s clean lines and geometric forms exude a futuristic appeal, making a statement that is both bold and avant-garde. Beyond their striking appearance, CyberShoes prioritize comfort through innovative design.
Utilizing 3D printing technology, the interior features a lattice structure engineered to provide a soft, bouncy underfoot sensation—often likened to “stepping on clouds.” This approach not only enhances comfort but also showcases the potential of additive manufacturing in creating customized, ergonomic footwear solutions.
While CyberShoes remain a concept for now, they paint a compelling picture of where footwear might be headed. They challenge the idea that shoes have to “fit in” to be wearable. Instead, they stand out—not just for the sake of being different, but because they represent a shift in how we approach design: as something that’s not just functional or stylish, but experimental, technological, and expressive. Would I wear them? Honestly, I don’t know. But do I want to talk about them? Absolutely. And maybe that’s the whole point.
