adidas continues to launch new iterations of its futuristic 4DFWD sneaker model that is made for performance running. The silhouette has an intact look that is packed with a plethora of technical details that are fully integrated for a comfortable feel.
The upper is made from a blend of both mesh and Primeknit materials for a cozy feel and breathable design. It sits on top of a stacked unit that is done in a bowtie shape at the midsole unit, which is purposely applied to morph vertical pressure into a horizontal force with every step -- this helps runners with a smooth transition. It also has 23% more cushioning than there has been in the previous 4D models.
