Truth to be told, it's hard refute such claims but let's just assume that it's true and the 3D printed lattice sole is the cumulation of almost two decades' worth of data.Īt the top of the shoes you'll find the Primeknit upper which is the same technology used in most high-end Adidas running shoes.

The “4D” bit in the name refers to the printing process that is enabled by Digital Light Synthesis – the next-generation of 3D-printing – but according to Adidas, it is athlete data that makes 4D truly unique. The showstopper is definitely the 3D printed sole: it is a result of the collaboration between Adidas and Carbon, a California-based firm specialising in 3D printing.Īnd we are not talking about any ol' 3D printing either.
