Summary

  • Adidas has launched a new range of 3D-printed footwear, with the Climacool shoe now available to the public.
  • The all-in-one trainer is one of the few completely 3D-printed shoes on the market, with the sole and upper all produced in one piece.
  • The lattice design is intended to be flexible and provide cushioning for the wearer, with a rubber-like finish that runs from the sole to the upper.
  • The shoe can be folded in half and, while comfortable, is reportedly rigid and heavy compared to expectations.
  • The trainer is currently only available in an off-white colour, via the Adidas confirmed app or select stores.
