Product Information
Full details
The adidas Alphaedge 4D is designed for adult athletes seeking a cutting-edge, performance-oriented trainer that combines advanced engineering with a modern aesthetic. Its primary benefit lies in the innovative 4D-printed midsole, which utilizes Digital Light Synthesis technology to provide highly tuned support and cushioning tailored to movement. While these trainers offer exceptional responsiveness, potential buyers should note that the unique lattice structure provides a firmer feel compared to traditional foam-based running shoes, which may require an adjustment period for some users.

FAQs
What is 4D midsole technology?
It is a 3D-printed lattice structure created using Digital Light Synthesis, which uses light and oxygen to shape the material into a specific, high-performance support system.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is recommended to spot clean with a damp cloth and soft brush to protect the integrity of the 3D-printed structure.
Are they suitable for trail running?
While durable, the open lattice design can trap mud and rocks, making them better suited for road, track, or gym use.
Do they provide good arch support?
Yes, the lattice is engineered to provide support in high-stress areas, which generally includes the midfoot and arch.
Is the material waterproof?
The upper is designed for breathability, not waterproofing, so they will allow moisture to pass through in wet conditions.
How do I know my size?
The Alphaedge 4D follows standard adidas sizing; if you own other adidas trainers, you should generally select the same size.
Troubleshooting
Debris caught inside the 4D lattice midsole
Use a soft-bristled brush or compressed air to gently dislodge trapped particles without scrubbing harshly.
Feeling of firmness or lack of initial comfort
The 4D structure requires a brief break-in period to allow the lattice to adapt to your specific gait pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Alphaedge 4D trainers, proper care is essential. Since the midsole features an open-lattice design, it can trap small debris during outdoor use. If the lattice gets dirty, gently clear debris with a soft-bristled brush and wipe with a damp cloth; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners that could degrade the lattice polymers. For compatibility, these trainers are true to size for most adult users, but because they feature a snug performance fit, those with wider feet may prefer to verify sizing against their standard adidas running shoe preference.
