The FIELD project welcomes hand selected innovative start-ups from Brighton and Hove to take residency in their incredible new space.

We just know that MakerClub being part of FIELD makes sense. With their vision to empower entrepreneurial makers, inventors, engineers and product designers with the use of their diverse workspaces.

The plan is to unite like-minded people, organisations and businesses to create a community that thrives on the free exchange of ideas between creative innovators and inventors.

That’s not all, this £150 million GDV scheme is part of a wider regeneration project that is set to radically transform this part of Brighton, and needless to say we are delighted to have been invited to move MakerClub HQ this snazy new space!

Stay tuned for for more updates soon…

We’ve been following Adidas’ concept for a trainer that combined two of the brand’s recent technologies. Their most recent concept trainer features an upper made using waste plastic filtered out of the oceans and a 3D-printed midsole created from recycled fishing nets.

Not only is this invention doing good for the planet, but it looks totally comfortable and unique!

This eco friendly trainer is part of Adidas’ ongoing partnership with Parley for the Oceans, an initiative that encourages creatives to repurpose ocean waste and raise awareness of the growing issue. Adidas have demonstrated an interest in backing this cause before having revealed a sports shoe made entirely from ocean waste last year.

We are actually seeing more sports brands adopting 3D printing technology in recent times. Could 2016 be the year of 3D printed shoes for the masses? We’d love to run our next Brighton marathon in these bad boys!
