Adidas

Conceptual design utilising SLA to print the upper and light strike foam to create an incredibly light-weight running shoe.

Adidas 4D technology

Utilising SLA 3D printing technology to print elastomers to create complex and customisable geometries that can be personalised to each athlete.

What could this technology look like if it was used for the shoe upper, instead of the midsole

Inspiration

Inspired by Siamese fighting fish and the way they float effortlessly.

Algorithmically built

Created using Rhino and Grasshopper to parametrically shape to any individual's foot.

Each 4D stand is optimized to provide the most amount of strength for the least amount of weight.
