This is only the beginning of what we can expect from Adidas and their 3D-printing technology, too. (And in the same shade of pale mint green, no less.) Something about the unstructured silhouette, and one cranked up a notch via luxury materials, makes the mash-up feel like a perfect fit. (We're pretty sure no one was calling it "athleisure" when Y-3 first debuted in 2003.) This new Y-3 Runner fits the bill, featuring a Primeknit upper with premium leather overlays and the same 3D-printed midsole as the coveted Futurecraft 4D. Yamamoto has spent most of his career blending traditional craftsmanship with breakthrough technology, and has always been ahead of the curve with his unique take on sport-meets-style aesthetics. This week, after its debut at Paris Fashion Week, the Adidas Y-3 Runner 4D is hitting virtual shelves.įor a label as high-minded as Adidas’s Y-3, which is led by the progressive Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto, incorporating the 4D technology seems like a no-brainer. Conveniently, even Adidas's most high-end collaborators are now getting in on the 4D action. But if the inaugural release of the Futurecraft 4D last month has showed us anything, it’s that sneakerheads love this new mint-green midsole and are craving more of it. This sole is still a relatively new addition to an arsenal that already includes the wildly successful “Boost” sole and the hit sneakers by Kanye West. In 2017, Adidas introduced its first sneaker with a 3D-printed sole: the “Futurecraft” series, a collection of concept-car-like sneakers designed as moonshots for the future of sneakers.
