2-LA LLC

2-LA is a footwear and product design studio that began in Los Angeles in 2014 as a design strategy practice and later added teams in Tokyo, Shenzhen, Beijing and Xiamen. A compact group of industrial designers works almost exclusively on the shoe: performance running, casual, kids and fashion sneakers, plus the tooling, materials and manufacturing support that carry them into production.

Long collaborations with Sprandi produced the UNI, Rolling Dome, Dome Plus and Hedgehog lines, while NBA special editions, Skechers, ANTA, Palladium and HANP appear in the portfolio. Experiment is part of the method: CyberShoes are 3D printed with a lattice midsole, and the studio’s 3D-knitted uppers and AI-generated concepts test how far footwear can move away from cut-and-sew construction.
