FAQs
What is the main benefit of the 4D midsole?
The 3D-printed 4D midsole is designed to provide a smooth, forward-moving stride by absorbing impact and offering an easy transition through each step, enhancing running efficiency.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the cushioning and forward-propelling technology make them suitable for marathon distances, particularly for runners who prioritize a smooth ride and impact protection on road surfaces.
Can I wear these for gym workouts?
While comfortable, these trainers are specifically designed for running. For gym workouts involving lateral movements or heavy lifting, dedicated training shoes might offer better stability and support.
How do I know if the UK 7 size is right for me?
Refer to the shoe's specifications: Midsole drop is 11 mm (heel: 30 mm / forefoot: 19 mm), and the weight is approximately 309 g (based on size UK 8.5). Consider your usual running shoe fit and consult a sizing guide if unsure.
What does it mean that they are made with recycled and renewable materials?
The shoes contain at least 20% of materials that are either recycled or renewable. This helps reduce waste and our reliance on finite resources, contributing to a more sustainable product.
How should I clean the 3D-printed midsole?
The midsole can be cleaned gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or machine washing to protect the integrity of the 3D-printed structure.
What is the difference between this and other adidas running shoes?
The key differentiator is the 3D-printed 4D midsole, engineered for specific forward motion and impact management, which provides a unique ride compared to traditional EVA or Boost foam midsoles.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system. For a tighter fit, ensure laces are evenly distributed and pulled snug. For a looser fit, loosen the laces, especially over the midfoot, and ensure the heel counter is not being overly compressed.
Midsole feels unresponsive
Ensure the shoes are being used on their intended surface (roads/pavements). The 4D midsole is optimized for hard, flat surfaces. Excessive use on soft or uneven terrain might impact perceived responsiveness.
Textile upper shows signs of wear quickly
Avoid abrasive activities or surfaces. Regularly clean the upper with a soft brush and mild soap to prevent dirt buildup from causing undue stress on the fabric.

Compatibility: Designed for adult male runners, primarily for road running. Not recommended for trail running or highly technical terrain.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, a mild soap can be used sparingly. Avoid machine washing.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
