Miss Georgia's custom heels flaunt 3D-printed flair
3D-printed shoes have, until now, mostly been the stuff of art exhibits and fashion shows presaging a world in which we all look like we're wearing alien life forms.
On Saturday, shoes molded by 3D printing got a far wider showing, parading along New Jersey's Atlantic City boardwalk on the feet of Miss Georgia, Maggie Bridges.
At the traditional "Show Us Your Shoes" procession -- where Miss America hopefuls wear fancy footwear honoring their home state -- Bridges sported a pair of custom-engineered wedges inspired by the Ramblin' Wreck, the 1930 Ford Model A Sport coupe that serves as student body mascot at Georgia Tech, where Bridges is a senior.
