Adidas Futurecraft 4D

About

Adidas Futurecraft 4D is a pioneering footwear line that leverages Digital Light Synthesis (DLS), a 3D printing technology developed by Carbon. This innovative process uses light, oxygen, and programmable liquid resins to create complex midsoles. Unlike traditional manufacturing methods, DLS allows for precise customization and rapid production without the need for prototyping or tooling. The midsoles are crafted from data-driven designs, incorporating 17 years of running data to optimize cushioning, stability, and comfort. The Futurecraft 4D shoes feature a Primeknit upper and a DLS-printed midsole, offering a unique combination of style and performance. While the short description mentions recycled materials, the primary focus of Futurecraft 4D is on its advanced manufacturing technology and ability to personalize footwear based on athlete data. This collaboration between Adidas and Carbon has revolutionized athletic footwear production, enabling faster design iterations and mass production of complex designs. The result is a shoe that provides superior performance and comfort for athletes.
