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.
