Adidas’ latest addition to its cooling range, the ClimaCool Laced shoe, has been designed and printed as a single piece, built layer by layer and blending upper and midsole elements through a single material.
The original ClimaCool shoe, revealed in September 2024, was the company’s first exploration of the additive manufacturing process.
The new laced version includes a process that allows for precise tailoring of all zones to deliver different benefits.
The creation of the shoe takes around 24 hours and includes spinning, baking and compression using high-tech polymers. It will be available in mid-July.
