Adidas has dipped into 3D printing technology and thus their 4D shoe technology was born. The Adidas 4D Parley is some welcome news from the company as they've remained relatively silent this new year.
It's fitting to start the year with a sneaker that features technology they've pioneered with another company, Carbon. A mixture of liquid, oxygen and light form the basis of the 4D tech.
The Adidas 4D Parley continues the tradition with a familiar silhouette. Let's take a closer look at this "Triple White" colorway. At first glance, there are complex looking patterns running through the shoes. Cream needlework goes around the sneaker in a wavelike pattern, overlaying the grey three stripes at the laterals. The linings do appear to have a shiny finish. This is very apparent with the Adidas logo on the tongue.
The 4D creamlike midsoles contrasts with the white uppers, its structure harmonizing with the wavelike linings. White outsoles finish the look, making the cream 4D midsoles standout.
The Adidas 4D Parley will be available for purchase later this year.
