Leveraging the experience it gained from working with Materialise, Adidas collaborated with environmental group Parley to create its ‘Ultraboost Parley’ shoes. At the time, the company hailed the “open-source partnership” as a landmark project between creatives and manufacturers.
ADIDAS 4D CRAFT SOFTWARE
Initially working with 3D software developer Materialise, Adidas utilized advanced 3D foot scanning technology to get an exact measurement of a runner’s foot. “Our 3D-printed midsole not only allows us to make a great running shoe, but also to use performance data to drive truly bespoke experiences, meeting the needs of any athlete.”Īdidas has been developing its Futurecraft line of sneakers for over five years. We have used a one-of-its-kind combination of process and material in an entirely new way,” said Eric Liedtke, Executive Board Member of Adidas AG. “Futurecraft 3D is a prototype and a statement of intent. Adidas’ new data-oriented approach, combines software and robotics to precisely place each thread, allowing the footwear to be modelled to the exact contours of an individual runner’s foot. The STRUNG sneakers, featuring the latest Futurecraft insoles produced by 3D printer manufacturer Carbon, have been created using an “industry-first” textile printing process. German sportswear brand Adidas has revealed what it describes as the “ultimate” 3D printed running shoe, the Futurecraft ‘STRUNG.’
