Adidas Unveils AlphaEdge 4D with SS19 Update
Adidas just released the new AlphaEdge 4D running shoe last June 1 and is now available online and in select retail stores. It features the sport-inspired geometric lattice structure and the 4D midsole cushion which provide stability and support.
The adidas AlphaEdge 4D under the SS19 update has three colorways- All-Black, Triple White and a Run for the Oceans themed shoe. All shoe retails for PhP 16,000. All color schemes retail for PhP 16,000.
According to adidas, the intricate lattice structure is precisely tuned for athletes as the shoe absorbs pressure from any angle and propels the foot forward while supporting movement where needed.
Below are some of the notable features of this shoe:
Primeknit upper, with zoned forging
A super-lightweight upper that encases your foot in a seamless sock-like fit providing the support and comfort needed during sharp lateral movements and tight turns. Each thread is individually constructed millimeter by millimeter with zoned forging.
Continental outsole
The Continental rubber outsole draws on 140 years of Continental tire technology and research – with engineered traction zones to support deeper cuts and faster acceleration, regardless of surface terrain or weather.
Parley for the Oceans collaboration
The ADIDAS 4D x Parley release made with Ocean Plastic® helps defend our oceans from plastic pollution. Plastic trash collected from remote beaches and coastal communities is spun into high-performance wear, turning your workout into a statement for the oceans.
“Adidas 4D continues to be our most ambitious midsole and having seen the success of the AlphaEdge 4D to date we are excited that we can now increase availability thanks to our innovative new manufacturing process, allowing athletes the world over to feel the future of performance footwear – this is what happens when sport meets Silicon Valley,” said Marco Kormann, Director of Future Technology Innovation for adidas.
The ADIDAS 4D midsole is printed with light and oxygen using Carbon Digital Light SynthesisTM Technology by Carbon. It uses digital light projection, oxygen-permeable optics and programmable liquid resins to print high-performance, durable polymeric products.
The technology uses data to translate the needs of a performance category, and eventually individual athlete or consumer, with the required movement, cushioning and stability directly into a midsole.
“In the past two years Adidas 4D has gone from a conceptual FUTURECRAFT innovation, to a running shoe that has revolutionized the industry, thanks to a data-driven experience that breaks new ground in performance capability and comfort,” Kormann added.
ALPHAEDGE 4D SS19 will be available globally across adidas.com, the adidas app and select retailers.
