adidas 4D is a 3D-printed midsole. Its unique lattice structure guides the foot and delivers long-lasting cushioning and stability for any activity.

For sneakerheads, adidas Originals shoes with a 4D midsole have the look of speed and the feel of comfort.

adidas 4D is a 3D-printed midsole. Its unique lattice structure guides the foot and delivers long-lasting cushioning and stability. adidas 4D feels supportive, like memory foam. (In contrast, an adidas Boost midsole is made of expanded and fused TPU particles and feels more springy.) The lattice structure of adidas 4D redirects vertical impact forces into horizontal forward motion. It gives runners a smooth forward transition for an experience like gliding over the pavement. The next generation of adidas 4D is the 4DFWD. The digitally printed midsole offers 23% more cushioning and generates over three times as much forward motion compared to previous 4D midsole in mechanical testing conditions.
