Where Craft meets Digital Innovation
Europe | Spring 2027
In April 2026, we brought Stride to Europe for the people building what’s next in footwear.
Stride isn’t about perfect answers.
It’s about the conversations that move things forward
between designers, developers, innovators, and decision-makers.

Themes we explored at Stride Europe 2026
CRAFT X DIGITAL INNOVATION
Explore how Europe’s craft heritage converges with digital workflows, blending hand-made intuition, 3D tools, and computational methods without losing design fundamentals.
DIGITAL PRODUCT CREATION
Unpack how 3D integrates into real workflows: scaling DPC, aligning teams, building assets & modernising processes while protecting the craft behind great footwear.
AI-DRIVEN DESIGN
Examine how teams use AI to boost creativity, streamline workflows, and personalise products, all while maintaining the intuition and human touch that define great design.
SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY
Rethink production models through circular design, shorter supply chains, regional manufacturing, and the operational shifts required to meet Europe’s sustainability demands.
