Vizcom × Zellerfeld Global Mule Design Challenge
Vizcom and Zellerfeld announced the results of their Global Mule Design Challenge, which drew 430 submissions from designers worldwide and was narrowed to 30 finalists. A judging panel selected three winning designs — Digits by Kolbe Correia, CATAPILL by Prithviraj Taware, and The Saman by Andrew Moya and Juan Rujana — to be 3D printed by Zellerfeld. The Top 3 designs are now in production, with manufactured samples expected to ship in the coming weeks.
This challenge demonstrates how AI-powered design tools like Vizcom are integrating with 3D printing manufacturing workflows, closing the gap between digital concept and physical production. It also highlights the growing role of community-driven design competitions in footwear innovation.
