We partnered with Dolce Vita's innovation team to reinterpret a fan-favorite, the HOLIS. It was important to both teams that 3D-printing was elevated in an elegant and thoughtful manor to not take away from the classic fisherman sandal styling. No stone was unturned, and all original details were considered in building HOLIS 3D. A dual-layer lattice upper sits atop of a plush synthetic footbed. The midsole welt details match 1-1 of the original design. The outsole applied an orange peel printed micro-texture for a subtle grain and traction. Offered in 4 colorways, the HOLIS 3D puts an innovative spin on a ready-to-wear wardrobe staple.
BEHIND THE DESIGN
DETAILS
Dual-Layer Lattice Upper
An elevated lattice upper brings a breathable dimensionality while preserving the timeless silhouette of the original HOLIS.
Considered Details
A plush vegan leather footbed with embossed branding and a hammered gold buckle add refinement and familiarity.
Print with Precision
The MJF-TPU printed midsole faithfully recreates the original welt detailing while enhancing comfort and durability with modern materiality.
“With HOLIS 3D, the challenge was restraint—using 3D printing not to reinvent, but to respectfully reimagine a classic. Working with Dolce Vita’s team pushed us to honor every original detail while quietly layering in innovation where it mattered most.”
