# 3D-Printed Honeycomb Slides ASICS Debuts Its Highly-Anticpated 'ACTIBREEZE 3D' Slides By Niko Pajkovic | Published 2022-07-19 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/actibreeze-3d References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2022/7/asics-actibreeze-3d-release-info) & [asics](https://www.asics.com/ca/en-ca/) Japanese footwear brand Asics has officially released its highly-anticipated ACTIBREEZE 3D slide, which is constructed from a [single 3D-printed honeycomb material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customfit-3d-printed-shoes). To start, the new slides are being offered exclusively in a black monochrome colorway. The ACTIBREEZE 3D slides feature rounded edges and open mesh perforations and, as a result, boast a distinctly future-forward style that allows for ventilation and dissipation. In addition, the slides feature a diagonal groove that runs along the toe strap that comes printed with a subtle [ASICS](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asics-novalis-styrax-breeze) mesh logo. According to the company, the ACTIBREEZE 3D slides will eventually mold and adapt to each wearer's specific foot contours, similar to a [Birkenstock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bone-pattern) sandal. Interested consumers can expect the ACTIBREEZE 3D slides to come out sometime in the upcoming weeks where they will be available to purchase on the ASICS website.
