Adidas wants to 3D-print running shoes that perfectly fit your feet

Screen_Shot_2015-10-07_at_8.22.19_PM.png

What if you could walk in a store, jog on a treadmill, and walk out with a pair of shoes that are custom manufactured for your feet and gait? That’s exactly what Adidas wants to do with its Futurecraft 3D project. And unlike most of the trash produced by 3D printing, the shoes look pretty awesome.

Adidas teased a prototype of the new shoes which feature a personalized 3D-printed midsole and a handsome, woven upper. For Futurecraft 3D, the company is partnering with Materialise, a Belgian company with two-and-a-half decades of additive manufacturing experience. Adidas sounds serious about turning this project into the future of running shoes, too.
