FAQs
What makes the 4D midsole different from regular cushioning?
The 4D midsole uses a lattice structure created through Digital Light Synthesis, offering precisely engineered cushioning zones based on 17 years of athlete data, providing a unique supportive feel compared to traditional foam.
Is this shoe suitable for long-distance running?
Yes, the Futurecraft 4D is designed for performance and offers supportive cushioning suitable for running. However, individual comfort preferences vary, so it's recommended to test them over shorter distances first.
How do I clean the distinctive Linen Green midsole?
Wipe the midsole with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution sparingly and then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Always allow to air dry.
What is the fit like?
The shoe features a Primeknit upper that provides a sock-like, snug fit. It's designed to be comfortable and adaptive to your foot.
Are the reflective stripes noticeable?
Yes, the grey three-stripes are made with reflective material and will become visible when light hits them, enhancing visibility in low-light conditions.
Can I wear these shoes for basketball?
While the cushioning is advanced, the Futurecraft 4D is primarily designed for running and training. For basketball, shoes with specific ankle support and grip designed for court sports would be more appropriate.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is made of Primeknit, a breathable and flexible material developed by Adidas for a comfortable, sock-like fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
The Primeknit upper is designed for a sock-like fit. Wear them for a few sessions to allow them to mold to your foot. If still uncomfortable, consider trying a half-size larger or checking for alternative widths if available.
Midsole appears discolored
The 4D midsole has a natural Linen Green hue. If it appears unusually dirty, clean with a damp cloth and mild soap as per care instructions. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods.
Laces are difficult to adjust
Ensure laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets. If they feel stiff, they may need to be worked in. For easier adjustment, loosen them fully before tightening.
