This free webinar is part of our ongoing education program for the Laceless Design Challenge, the largest and most advanced sneaker design challenge on the planet.

This year the main sponsor is DESMA - the leading provider of automated manufacturing systems for the footwear industry - and participants are asked to design a lifestyle sneaker using only two technologies: injection molding with PU or TPU and/or knitting.

Polymer provider Huntsman - which has one the largest divisions for footwear - is supplying the materials for the winning design, which will be made at the DESMA House Fair in September.

Together with Johan, Peter and Craig - Huntsman's shoe dogs and footwear polyurethane experts - we will discuss several entries for the Laceless Design Challenge. How could they be made? What materials could best be used? How could you add new functions and aesthetics through the use of PU and TPU? And how can we make these shoes as circular as possible?

Material knowledge is essential for all sneaker designers and information on molding compounds, such as PU and TPU, is very hard to come by! Embrace this opportunity and join us for a live session packed with valuable info. Our webinars are always very interactive, so you can ask all your questions to our expert panel!
