Adidas Introduces Laced Version of 3D-Printed Footwear

Adidas has unveiled a new version of their 3D-printed Climacool sneakers, now featuring laces for customizable fit adjustments.

Tailored for a more personalized wearing experience, this iteration includes a breathable lattice configuration achieved through advanced additive printing, which distinguishes it from its predecessor.

Originally available as slip-ons in a singular off-white hue, these shoes now sport a black tongue and laces, transforming the look from unconventional prototype to everyday sneaker.

The Climacool line, first introduced in limited-edition numbers last September, expanded its reach in April 2025 with a global presence, including several U.S. Adidas storefronts.

Priced at $160, the newly introduced Climacool Laced shoes come at a $20 premium over the original slip-ons. While available globally through select retailers and Adidas locations, the shoes are exclusively accessible for online purchase through Adidas' Confirmed platform.

Central to the shoe design is its unified 3D-printed framework, crafted in an extensive 24-hour process involving polymer-based spinning, baking, and compression.

With design enhancements over the original, the upper of the Climacool Laced now integrates new printed eyelets, while components such as the tongue and laces are composed of non-3D printed materials added subsequently.

This latest version holds the promise of increased comfort and adaptability for varying foot sizes while preserving the signature qualities of fast-drying and air-permeable 3D-printed fabrication.
