Adidas First 3D-printed Futurecraft Sneaker

Adidas is giving its Olympic athletes even more reason to shine at Rio 2016 by offering a select few of the brand’s best performers a pair of its first ever 3D-printed Futurecraft shoes. Yes, along with those meaningless Olympic medals, athletes will receive a sneaker with an engineered 3D web structure with dense zones in high-force areas, a 3D-printed heel counter, and a 3D-printed, highly-breathable Primeknit upper. The new technology means that the Three Stripes doesn’t have to go through the process of gluing or stitching. Get a better look at the sneaker below.
