Zellerfeld and Baron Davis launch fully 3D printed recovery sneaker
Baron Davis's OverDose debut pairs a $199 custom-fit recovery sneaker with Zellerfeld's print-on-demand system, testing whether 3D footwear can scale.

Zellerfeld and Baron Davis put a hard retail number on a question the footwear world has been circling for years: can a fully 3D printed sneaker move beyond spectacle and into a real product category? Their answer arrived as the OD Easy PZ, a $199 recovery sneaker built for everyday movement and post-training comfort, with delivery estimated at three to four weeks.
The shoe is printed through Zellerfeld’s extrusion-based process as a monolithic structure, with no traditional stitching, laces, or assembled upper. Buyers choose a colorway, scan their feet on a smartphone browser without downloading an app, and order a pair made to fit. Zellerfeld says the scan workflow is designed to be more accurate than standard shoe sizing, and the company does not offer refunds or exchanges because every pair is custom printed for the buyer.

That combination of fit and repeatability is the real story here. Zellerfeld is not selling a one-off celebrity object so much as a production model: on-demand footwear that cuts inventory risk, ships globally, and can be made from printer farms in Austin, Texas, and Hamburg, Germany. Shipping is free in the US and EU, with a flat $20 rate elsewhere. The company says its zellerFOAM material, a specially developed TPU, is 100% recyclable, breathable, washable, quick-drying, and odor resistant, which gives the launch an environmental angle alongside the design pitch.
OverDose, the brand Davis launched with Sean O’Shea and Geoff Deas, frames the project as “From Analog to AI,” with an emphasis on creator ownership and rapid experimentation. Davis has spent much of his post-NBA career moving through Hollywood producing, cannabis, venture capital, rapping, and hosting for the Las Vegas Raiders, and he previously signed with Li-Ning in 2008 and released the BD Doom signature sneaker. In this project, he is casting footwear less as endorsement and more as infrastructure for independent designers, athletes, and influencers to own what they build.

That message matters because Zellerfeld has been building this lane for years. Founder Cornelius Schmitt began by making 3D printers for shoe designers in Germany, and the company’s roster has grown to include names like Nike, Sean Wotherspoon, Tia Adeola, Heron Preston, Justin Bieber, Jaylen Brown’s 741 Performance, and RTFKT-linked projects. Zellerfeld’s store even shows a printed Nike Air Max 1000 collaboration. The OD Easy PZ does not settle the debate over 3D printed consumer goods, but it does make the case that printed footwear is no longer just a maker novelty with a famous name attached.
