Summary
A footwear research project commissioned by the Museum of Modern Art in New York for its 2017 exhibition "Is Fashion Modern?" This combines a 3D printed auxetic sole with a grown mycelium upper and was conceived as a modern version of the moonboot worn by NASA's Eugene Cernan on one of the first spacewalks in 1966.

★☆☆
Can depend heavily on virgin fossil fuels, produce harmful emissions, and yield non-recyclable materials. Involves high energy consumption during material manufacturing. As an AM material, requires some re-processing after use. This rating relates to the technology type only. The design, purpose and longevity of the entire object can offset any of the technology type's negative sustainability credentials.
