![]() ![]() ![]() What started out as a conceptual Futurecraft innovation, has not only allowed us to completely re-think our manufacturing processes, but to create a data-driven experience that breaks new ground in performance capability and comfort,” said Klaus Rolshoven, Director of Future Design, at Adidas. “Adidas 4D is our most ambitious midsole to date and having seen the success in FW18, we’re excited about how far we can take this innovation. ALPHAEDGE 4D FW18 launched globally across, the adidas app and select retailers starting on, going for $300.The Alphaedge 4D comes with a sport-inspired geometric lattice structure that Adidas claims provides stability, support and pin-point energy return where needed during the most challenging training run or workout. The Continental rubber outsole draws on 140 years of Continental tire technology and research – with engineered traction zones to support deeper cuts and faster acceleration, regardless of surface terrain or weather. Each thread is individually constructed millimeter by millimeter with FORGEFIBER – a process using TPU-coated yarn, that maximizes performance when stitched at various angles and layers for ultimate strength in motion. The technology uses data to translate the needs of a performance category, and eventually, individual athlete or consumer, with the required movement, cushioning and stability directly into a midsole.Ī super-lightweight upper that encases your foot in a seamless sock-like fit – providing the support and comfort needed during sharp lateral movements and tight turns. The intricate lattice structure that can be produced only using additive manufacturing generates responsive cushioning, which absorbs pressure from any angle and returns energy, propelling the foot forward and supporting movement where needed.Ĭarbon’s proprietary Digital Light Synthesis is a breakthrough technology that uses digital light projection, oxygen-permeable optics and programmable liquid resins to print high-performance, durable polymeric products. The new ALPHAEDGE 4D FW18 model features a sport-inspired geometric lattice structure, that provides stability, support and pin-point energy return, precisely where needed during the most challenging training run or workout. The ADIDAS 4D midsole is printed with light and oxygen, using Digital Light Synthesis (DSL), a technology pioneered by Carbon ( partnership first announced in April 2017). “What started out as a conceptual FUTURECRAFT innovation, has not only allowed us to completely re-think our manufacturing processes but to create a data-driven experience that breaks new ground in performance capability and comfort.” ![]() “ADIDAS 4D is our most ambitious midsole to date,” said Klaus Rolshoven, Director of Future Design, at adidas. ![]() The popular German sports brand has been working with AM industry “unicorn” startup Carbon on mass production of generatively designed midsoles for its FUTURECRAFT brand. Adidas launched the new ALPHAEDGE 4D, its unique sneaker engineered with the ADIDAS 4D midsole, for controlled energy return and breathable cushioning during intensive training runs. ![]()
