# 3D-Printed Latticed Sole Sneakers The Adidas Grit Prevents Fatigue and Supports the Foot By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-11-01 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-grit References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2017/10/31/that-sole-folks/) & [aarishnetarwala](https://www.aarishnetarwala.com/) 3D printing will soon revolutionize the manufacturing process for fashion designers especially when it comes to footwear, so the [Adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/climamog) Grit seen here identify what we could see more of in the near future. The footwear has been designed to completely absorb shocks thanks to the [latticed sole](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exoskyn) that collapses when your foot hits the ground to effectively reduce fatigue. This also works to boost the wearer back up by offering a distinct push against their foot without the need for springs or air bubbles. The Adidas Grit is the design work of Aarish Netarwala and features a truly exceptional design that acknowledges the changing face of footwear as production shifts closer to 3D printing than ever before. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **3D Printing in Fashion Manufacturing:** The use of 3D printing in fashion manufacturing is revolutionizing the industry and providing opportunities for designers to create innovative products. - **Shock-absorbing Latticed Soles:** Developing footwear with shock-absorbing latticed soles offers a disruptive innovation opportunity to improve comfort and reduce fatigue for consumers. - **Shifting Towards Customization and Personalization:** The adoption of 3D printing in footwear opens up the potential for customization and personalization, allowing consumers to have unique and tailored products. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Manufacturing:** Fashion manufacturing industry can benefit from integrating 3D printing technology to streamline production processes and create unique designs. - **Footwear Industry:** Footwear industry can leverage shock-absorbing latticed soles to develop new product offerings that prioritize comfort and performance. - **3D Printing Equipment and Materials:** The 3D printing equipment and materials industry can seize the opportunity to provide advanced solutions tailored for fashion manufacturing and customized footwear. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [3D-Printed Lattice Futuristic Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/climamog.md) - [3D-Printed Winter Sport Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bobsled-footwear.md) - [3D-Printed Sports Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-air-max-1000.md) - [3D Printed Shoe Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customfit-3d-printed-shoes.md) - [Sustainable 3D-Printed Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/4dfwd-1.md) - [Futuristic 3D-Printed Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asics-novalis-styrax-breeze.md) - [Futuristic Slip-On Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-unveils-climacool.md) - [Scan-to-Print Custom Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vivobiome.md) - [Personalized Footwear Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asics-personalization-studio.md)
