Footwear of the future: Adidas Futurecraft 4D Athletic Shoe

Adidas has been experimenting with 3D printing lately, and now using the new technology called Digital Light Synthesis they have taken 3D printed midsoles from the limited edition market, developing it to be used in full production runs.  The Adidas Futurecraft 4D Athletic Shoe is a result of this innovation, which uses a liquid resin that hardens, as a precise projection of light forms it in one piece as it’s raised from the vat. Most importantly, it will eventually allow midsoles to be custom created to function best for different sports, and adapt to different body weights.
