adidas’ 4D-printed silhouettes continue to be one of the most innovative and creative projects that the Three Stripes is currently working on, as we have seen it span a number of silhouettes and collaborations. Next up for the Futurecraft family is perhaps its most aesthetically appealing iteration yet, the bold and unique ZX4000 4D. It features a semi-woven upper that’s pattern somewhat replicates is customary ash green 4D printed sole unit that has been the mainstay across all the advanced products featuring the technology. Another design elements of note comes by way of a mudguard patch done up in plush suede that features stitching that resembles the seams of a baseball, coming attached to its knit toe unit. Sticking to one of today’s most prevalent aesthetics, adidas opts to usher in a deconstructed effect throughout with multiple hits of exposed stitching and patchwork.
A unique color scheme sees bright pink, muted yellow, and mint interact with more subdued colors like black, cream, and white to create a sneaker that is both ready for the future and still tied to the past with vintage colors. Peep a first look at the all new ZX4000 4D here and expect its release in stores this Fall or Winter.
