Additional Context
Two years after a limited release, German sportswear brand adidas is putting the CLIMACOOL LACED into wide circulation, available globally from March 3, 2026 online and in stores. The shoe is built using Digital Light Synthesis (DLS) 3D printing process, allowing each pair to be assembled in approximately 24 hours into a seamless, joint-free structure with no edges or pressure points.
The sportswear brand frames the manufacturing process as a deliberate departure from conventional footwear construction, where structural, material, and aesthetic decisions are typically made in isolation rather than developed as a single, integrated system from the ground up. The shoe is priced at €160, $160, £140, and available in unisex sizes UK 4 to 14.
