Kornit Digital Ltd. announced the commercial launch of its digital footwear solution at ITMA Asia + CITME Singapore 2025. Following two years of development and collaboration with global footwear brands, Kornit’s technology has surpassed the milestone of one million pairs of digitally decorated sports shoes sold worldwide, confirming that digital footwear production has become a commercial reality.

Targeting an addressable market of approximately one billion decorated shoe uppers annually, Kornit’s solution transforms traditional footwear production by replacing complex, multi-step analog decoration with a single-step digital workflow. The process delivers high-quality, durable prints directly on technical fabrics, combining performance, flexibility, and limitless creative potential. Designed for the fast-paced sports and athleisure segment, the technology dramatically shortens development cycles, reduces overproduction, and enables true on-demand manufacturing.

Ronen Samuel, CEO of Kornit Digital, emphasized the significance of this milestone. “The footwear industry is undergoing a profound transformation. Through close collaboration with visionary partners and relentless innovation, we have developed a fully digital solution that redefines how shoes are designed, produced, and delivered. What began as a concept is now a scalable, global reality.” The company’s digital footwear systems are already in operation with manufacturers in China, Vietnam, and Germany, setting new standards for agility and sustainability.

Customer feedback highlights that Kornit’s solution accelerates development timelines from months to days while maintaining consistency and precision. The process uses no water, minimal energy, and supports local, near-shore production, helping brands cut waste, reduce carbon footprint, and produce only what is sold. Kornit will continue advancing this technology, with next-generation innovations to debut at Techtextil 2026 in Frankfurt, featuring new polymers and expanded material compatibility. Visitors to Hall 6, Stand C204 at ITMA Asia + CITME Singapore can see firsthand how Kornit is leading the footwear industry into a new era of creativity, efficiency, and sustainable production.
