American sneaker designer, vintage collector, store owner, and digital creator Sean Wotherspoon is celebrated for his pace-setting portfolio in sneaker culture and beyond. Following big-ticket collabs with the likes of adidas, Gap, and Porsche, the footwear aficionado is now launching Sean Double U, an all-new collection with 3D-printed shoe-maker Zellerfeld.
The line features two silhouettes: a sneaker made for movement, and a mule designed for ease. “Sean Double U is about the different sides we all have,” said Wotherspoon. “The sneaker is for motion. The mule is for slowing down. I wanted pieces that move with every version of you.”
Both the sneaker and the mule are printed from a single recyclable material without glue, stitching, or factories; and to push the boundaries even further, each pair is custom-fitted through a straightforward foot scan.

“Most companies tell you what you cannot do,” Wotherspoon said. “Zellerfeld built a stack where you design what you want, when you want. We could tweak a design in the morning and hold a prototype by the afternoon. That speed changes everything, not just for me, but for every designer who has ideas and nowhere to take them.”
The Sean Double U Sneaker ($189 USD) and Sean Double U Mule ($149 USD) are now available to shop on Zellerfeld’s webstore. Each unit is made to order for each customer. See the designs in the gallery above.
