Printed Shoes
Adidas has been changing the game lately.
They’ve landed deals with big names such as
Pusha T, Kanye West, Damian Lillard, and James
Harden. They’ve also implemented a new cush-
ioning system in their shoes, Boost, that people
all around the globe regard as the most com-
fortable material ever. Now, Adidas has changed
the shoe game once again. The only company
with stock prices increasing faster than Nike has
created and released to the public a 3D printed
shoe. It’s called the “3D Runner Future Craft.”
This shoe has an entirely printed body, made
out of one material, TPU. Also, you can get the
Future Craft in any color you want, so long as
it’s black. But even though the color is bland, the
shoe itself is stunning. Don’t get your hopes up,
though. You won’t be able to run to your local
Footlocker to buy this particular pair of shoes.
Buying this rare gem will set you back $4,000
(plus tax). Furthermore, in my research, I only
found two pairs that are available for sale right
now. However, Adidas is planning on releasing
100,000 pairs of a new and improved version of
the Future Craft in 2018, drastically reducing the
price. But until then, most of us will just have to
dream of owning the unique masterpiece that is
the Adidas “Future Craft.”
