adidas 4DFWD: revolutionary running shoes with 3D-printed midsole

The adidas 4DFWD running shoes are designed to elevate your running experience. The most striking feature? The 3D-printed midsole that sets itself apart from traditional foam versions. Thanks to advanced computer models and data-driven insights, this sole is specifically designed to propel your stride forward rather than simply absorb impact. As a result, each landing feels more natural, with reduced energy loss and greater comfort while running. The precision of the printing process also provides structural stability exactly where it's needed, tailored to your movement.

Where traditional midsoles primarily use compression to absorb impact, the adidas 4DFWD midsole flexes uniquely with your stride. The direction of the lattice structure transforms the vertical energy that is normally lost upon impact into a horizontal forward motion. This leads to a smoother transition with every step and helps you maintain a consistent pace for longer with less effort.

Unique 4DFWD technology for optimal forward energy

The strength of adidas 4DFWD lies in its patented 4D technology. While many shoes focus on providing a soft underfoot feel, this midsole is engineered for targeted energy return with a forward push. The 3D-printed honeycomb structure is more than just visually appealing. Every angle and shape has been designed using data from thousands of runners to convert impact into forward motion. With every step, you are literally propelled ahead.

Instead of the traditional vertical cushioning, the 4DFWD design pushes you toward your next stride. Many runners report less braking sensation upon landing and feel fresher over longer distances. Especially at steady paces, this system offers a noticeable advantage. Your muscles require less effort to maintain your speed.

Who are adidas 4DFWD running shoes suitable for?

The adidas 4DFWD series is designed with the neutral runner in mind. Its flexible construction and light support make it an ideal choice for those seeking a natural stride without overcorrection. The stability of the 3D-printed midsole is optimal for runners with an even gait, but offers less correction for those who overpronate. Do you tend to roll inward while running? Then a model with more support might be a better fit.

In terms of fit, adidas 4DFWD generally runs true to size. The upper is flexible and wraps snugly around the midfoot, with ample space in the toe box for longer runs. Thanks to the use of stretch materials, the upper follows the contours of your foot without pinching. Whether you're training for a 10K or enjoying weekly long-distance runs, this shoe provides the comfort and support you expect during extended efforts.

Sustainable running with recycled materials

Every adidas 4DFWD shoe features sustainable design choices. The upper is made with at least 50% recycled materials, actively contributing to adidas' efforts to reduce plastic waste in sport. This conscious material choice not only results in a lighter environmental footprint but also retains the comfort and breathability needed for intense runs.

The midsole also incorporates biodegradable components without compromising performance. This means you're not only running more efficiently but also more responsibly. adidas continues to take major steps toward fully circular sportswear. With the 4DFWD series, you are literally moving in the same direction.
