Early Look: adidas FUTURECRAFT.STRUNG Is The 3D Printed Sneaker Of The Future

While the shoe will not release to the general public until late 2021 or early 2022, adidas has already begun the prototype manufacturing process on its most technologically advanced piece of footwear yet. Designed by adidas’ FUTURECRAFT subline, the FUTURECRAFT.STRUNG silhouette advances upon the blueprint of the Three Stripes’ mint green 4D midsoles to create a sturdier, more comfortable cushioning system. The lattice patterning of the 3D printing process has resulted in a sleeker-looking midsole with a significantly shorter heel portion, applying focus to the wearer’s forefoot.

The “.STRUNG” portion of the model name refers to the adidas STRUNG machine. STRUNG is able to transfer performance data from athlete runners to perfectly mold the textile upper to the individual’s foot. The greatest innovation that the 3D printing process allows is the ability to weave Dropping late 202the thread in any direction, rather than the vertical and horizontal limitations of traditional construction methods.

Take a look at the adidas FUTURECRAFT.STRUNG prototype and manufacturing process below. Stay tuned to SoleSavy for further adidas FUTURECRAFT news.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
