From high-performance athletic shoes to trend-setting lifestyle designs, Kornit redefines how footwear is imagined, designed and produced. With Kornit’s innovative digital printing technology, every pair tells a story of innovation, performance, and sustainability.
The global sports and athleisure-footwear industry encompasses roughly one billion decorated shoe uppers annually, representing a massive and rapidly expanding market driven by consumer demand for variety, innovation, and personalization. Yet traditional decoration methods hold brands back with design limitations, long development cycles, and overproduction. Kornit changes the game by replacing complex analog processes with a single-step digital workflow that removes these barriers – offering limitless design freedom, faster time-to-market, and unmatched flexibility in one streamlined process.
At the core of this transformation is Kornit’s patented technology, enabling high-quality, durable prints directly onto technical fabrics used in footwear. Through a single-step process and innovative consumables, Kornit delivers precision, sustainability and proven performance durability – from running shoes to fashion sneakers. This innovation marks a shift from traditional mass production to agile, efficient, and creative digital workflows empowering brands to create on demand.
Kornit’s footwear solution sets a new standard for sustainable production, eliminating water usage, minimizing energy consumption, and enabling local, near-shore production to reduce waste, inventory, and carbon footprint at every stage. By combining unlimited design possibilities with on-demand agility, brands can launch collections in days instead of months, respond instantly to trends, and deliver distinctive, high-performance products with speed, consistency, and efficiency.
