Product Information
Full details
These adidas running shoes are designed for adult male runners seeking a smooth and effortless ride during city runs. The key benefit is the innovative 3D-printed 4D midsole, which absorbs impact and facilitates a seamless stride transition. A potential consideration is that the textile upper, while providing a precise fit, may require specific care to maintain its structure and comfort over time.

FAQs
What makes the 4D midsole unique?
The 4D midsole is 3D-printed and specifically engineered to provide advanced cushioning, impact absorption, and a smooth forward transition with every stride, adapting to the runner's movement.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
While designed for a smooth ride, their suitability for marathons depends on individual preference and training. They offer good cushioning for urban running, but longer distances may benefit from shoes with higher stack heights or specific marathon-focused designs.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the product's size chart and compare it with your foot measurement. The product information specifies UK sizing; ensure you are matching your measurements correctly. A regular fit is offered, but individual foot shapes may vary.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The weight is approximately 309 grams for a size UK 8.5. This is a moderate weight for a running shoe, offering a balance of cushioning and responsiveness.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, particularly the 3D-printed midsole and textile upper. Hand clean according to the care instructions provided.
What is the midsole drop?
The midsole drop is 11 mm, with a heel height of 30 mm and a forefoot height of 19 mm. This moderate drop is suitable for many running styles.
What does it mean that the shoes are made with recycled and renewable materials?
It means that at least 20% of the total materials used in the shoe are derived from recycled sources or renewable natural resources, contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing process.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Adjust the lacing system to distribute pressure more evenly. Ensure you are using the correct UK size. If discomfort persists, consider socks with different thickness or alternative lacing techniques.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
Ensure the shoes are not being exposed to extreme temperatures, which can affect midsole performance. Clean the shoes as per care instructions to maintain material integrity.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The synthetic outsole offers good traction on most urban surfaces, but performance may be reduced on very wet or slick conditions. Exercise caution in such environments.
