Adidas reveals upcoming super fly 3D
Adidas is using 3D printing to create super fly kicks of the future.
On Friday, the company unveiled Futurecraft 4D, its latest 3D-printed sneakers, made possible through a partnership with Carbon — a Silicon Valley-based tech company focused on innovative product creation.

"With Digital Light Synthesis, we venture beyond limitations of the past, unlocking a new era in design and manufacturing," Eric Liedtke, a group executive board member for Adidas, explained in the release.

Though the company's last 3D-printed shoes were limited edition, Adidas plans to create more than 100,000 pairs of Futurecraft 4Dsby the end of 2018, so here's hoping you'll be able to snag a pair.
