A 3-D printed shoe that doubles asan iPhone case.

Designed by Alan Nguyen of Freedom of Creation, it was commissioned by accessories site Fresh Fiber and debuted at last year's Milan Design Week. It's a tad unpractical, but as an example of the level of creativity that can be achieved with a 3-D printer, it's kind of awesome.
