UN3D. 10th Anniversary Project Part 2: UNITED NUDE Bespoke Collaboration

UN3D., a brand operated by MARK STYLER Co., Ltd. (President: Masanori Akiyama, Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo), is pleased to announce a bespoke model with the footwear brand "UNITED NUDE" as the second special project commemorating the brand's 10th anniversary.

Following the first collaboration with "COTTON RESEARCH CLUB," this project brings together two brands that share "structure" as a common language.

Architecture and Footwear: Crossing the Boundary

UNITED NUDE was founded in 2003 by Rem D. Koolhaas, who is also active as an architect. By viewing shoes as "buildings," the brand has established a unique presence by combining structural beauty—visible in their creative heel designs and hybrid forms—with stable comfort, achieving a high-level fusion of function and form.

"I design as if I am playing. I believe in the beauty created by simple forms, while sometimes restraining myself," says Koolhaas. His philosophy, which combines experimentation with rationality, resonates deeply with the ethos of UN3D. The impulse to create, which keeps him awake at night to jot down ideas, is the very embodiment of a stance that remains outside of conventional concepts.

Bespoke Model

The base for this release is UNITED NUDE's new model, the "Delta 3D Sandal." It is a latest-generation hybrid model that fuses elements of the "Rico Sandal" and "Delta Run," both of which were previously featured in popular UN3D. bespoke collaborations.

Featuring "functionality with stability enough to run in," a "minimal 3D upper design that blends into any styling," and a "sport sole structure that achieves both architectural form and lightness," this model has been elevated into a special 10th-anniversary edition with UN3D.'s signature bold and sophisticated color palette. It is a pair that offers a sense of firm intention while blending into daily life, characterized by the tension between mode and sporty aesthetics, and color contrasts that accentuate its structural beauty.

The Meaning of the 10th Anniversary

For UN3D., the 10th anniversary is not about "completion" but "renewal." This collaboration with UNITED NUDE is more than just a bespoke product; it is an attempt to redefine the "structure," "independence," and "rebellious spirit" that the brand has explored thus far, starting from the ground up—at our feet. It is the intersection of architectural thinking and fashion.
