FAQs
What makes the Futurecraft 4D midsole unique?
The midsole is created using Carbon's Digital Light Synthesis technology, which uses light, oxygen, and resin to 3D-print a precisely engineered lattice structure. This provides zoned cushioning and support tailored to the demands of movement.
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
While the 4D midsole offers excellent cushioning, they are primarily designed for lifestyle wear and light training. For dedicated long-distance running, adidas offers specialized running shoe models with more advanced performance features.
How do I clean the 3D-printed midsole?
Use a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap and water to clean the midsole. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing. Ensure all soap residue is rinsed off and allow to air dry.
What is the typical lifespan of the 4D sole?
The durability of the 4D sole is comparable to traditional high-performance shoe soles, designed to withstand regular use. Lifespan depends on frequency of wear, intensity of use, and proper care. Regular cleaning and avoiding extreme conditions will prolong its life.
Does the Primeknit upper offer waterproofing?
No, the Primeknit upper is designed for breathability and flexibility, not waterproofing. It will allow air to pass through but will also absorb moisture in wet conditions.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash the adidas Futurecraft 4D trainers. Machine washing can damage the delicate Primeknit material, the 4D midsole structure, and the adhesives used in the shoe's construction. Hand washing is the preferred method.
What does the '4D' in Futurecraft 4D refer to?
The '4D' refers to the three-dimensional lattice structure of the midsole, created through a digital light synthesis process, which provides zoned performance and cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. The Primeknit upper will stretch slightly over time, but if the initial fit is too restrictive, consider a half-size larger. Wear with appropriate athletic socks.
Midsole cushioning feels different than expected.
The 4D midsole provides a unique, supportive cushioning. It may feel firmer than traditional EVA foam but offers more targeted support and energy return. Allow a break-in period of a few wears.
Traction seems poor on certain surfaces.
Check the rubber outsole for excessive dirt or wear. Clean the outsole regularly. If the shoe is new, ensure any mold release agents from manufacturing have been washed off. For extremely slick surfaces, specialized footwear may be required.
White upper is getting dirty quickly.
Regularly clean the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap as per the care instructions. Consider using a protective spray designed for knit materials, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your adidas Futurecraft 4D trainers, follow these care tips:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the Primeknit upper with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap diluted with water and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Midsole: The 4D midsole can be cleaned using a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap and water. Ensure all soap residue is removed.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Scrub the rubber outsole with a brush and soapy water to remove dirt and grime. Rinse with clean water.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat or sunlight, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing the shoes with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using a shoe bag can help protect them from dust and damage.
