FAQs
What makes the Futurecraft 4D midsole unique?
The midsole is created using Digital Light Synthesis (DLS), a process that uses light and oxygen to create intricate lattice structures. This allows for precise control over cushioning and support in different areas of the foot.
Are these shoes suitable for all types of running?
The Futurecraft 4D is primarily designed for road running and general training due to its cushioning and support. While they offer good traction, they may not be ideal for technical trail running.
How does the Primeknit upper provide comfort?
The Primeknit material is engineered to be highly breathable, flexible, and form-fitting, creating a sock-like feel that minimizes friction and enhances comfort during activity.
How should I clean the 3D-printed midsole?
Clean the midsole gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the delicate lattice structure.
What is the intended gender for these trainers?
These specific trainers are designed for adult males.
How does the Futurecraft 4D compare to Boost technology?
Boost offers a softer, more energy-returning foam feel, while the Futurecraft 4D's 3D-printed midsole provides more targeted support and a firmer, more precise cushioning experience.
What colors are available for the Futurecraft 4D series?
This particular model features a 'Crystal White' color with a cream-colored lattice midsole and black outsole. Other variations in the Futurecraft 4D series may offer different color combinations.
Troubleshooting
Primeknit upper feels too tight
The Primeknit material is designed to stretch and adapt over time. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your foot shape. If still too tight after several wears, consider if the size is appropriate.
Midsole shows discoloration
Discoloration can occur from prolonged exposure to certain elements or cleaning agents. Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight for extended periods.
Traction on outsole seems reduced
Ensure the black rubber outsole is clean of mud, dirt, or debris. Use a damp cloth or soft brush to clean the tread pattern. If the outsole is significantly worn down, it may be time to consider replacement.
Sizing feels incorrect
Refer to the adidas sizing guide for accurate measurements. The sock-like fit of the Primeknit upper can sometimes feel different from traditional shoes. Ensure your heel is properly seated and the laces are adjusted correctly.

Care Instructions:
