Adidas 4DFWD review: Imagination and experimentation on a future-tech shoe

 

Last December, Adidas launched Alphaedge 4D shoes (read review) with a unique 3D printed midsole. Eight months on, Adidas 4DFWD makes its way as another future-tech shoe with a 3D printed midsole, and a lot more.

Just like Alphaedge 4D, the Adidas 4DFWD also has the midsole as its key highlight as the lattice-structure design takes shoemaking to another level.

Adidas collaborated with Silicon Valley-based Carbon on the 3D-printing technology to print midsole using ‘Carbon Digital Light Synthesis' technology, which uses digital light projection, oxygen-permeable optics and programmable liquid resins to print polymeric products, and data to customise the sole according to your needs.

That said, the shoe also has some eco-friendly credentials as the lattice construct uses as much as 39 per cent bio-based materials.

The Adidas 4DFWD looks more like a lifestyle shoe but is at par with most high-end running shoes. Despite that, on odd days, you can flaunt it elsewhere as the neon green accented unit, which I had for review, goes well with most of the outfits.
