adidas 4D Fwd Man

the brand with the 3 stripes presents us with its adidas 4DFWD running shoes, a high-end product that seeks to offer an alternative to its more performing foams for speed and endurance races. With a light and minimalist silhouette and a revolutionary sole, it is the future showcase of the German brand.

Thanks to close collaboration with the American 3D printing and technology company Carbon, the 4DFWD features the world's first 3D printed midsole: the FWD Cell. Designed to compress and expand based on dynamic tread stats, this midsole transforms the vertical pressure of walking into transmission momentum that will keep you ahead of the pack. As if that weren't enough, the rubber outsole with an ultra flexible diamond pattern reminiscent of Stretchweb produces very competent traction on asphalt and urban surfaces.

But the innovations do not stop at the single unit. The upper of the 4DFWD also receives a new material: PRIMEKNIT+ is a flexible mesh that adapts anatomically to the shape of the foot and offers phenomenal breathability in all conditions. This sock-like support is paired with an effective lace-up closure that wraps around the midfoot for added stability and support.
