adidas Climacool Laced expand the brand's exploration of additive manufacturing with a one-piece lattice construction produced through Digital Light Synthesis technology. The upper and midsole share the same ultra-light synthetic material, creating a seamless structure with 360-degree airflow and reduced weight. Layer-by-layer production takes approximately 24 hours, forming continuous geometry that integrates cushioning, ventilation, and support without conventional assembly methods. The latest version is also described as the lightest iteration in the silhouette's history.
Fresh colorways highlight the sculptural lattice with black accents and the vibrant 'Solar Turbo' finish, emphasizing the shoe's printed structure across the exterior. The flexible build conforms closely around the foot while maintaining an open framework that promotes breathability throughout wear. Men's and women's sizing ranges from US 4 to 14, extending availability across a broad fit range. The sneakers are available through adidas with a starting retail price of $160.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- One-piece Footwear
- Seamless shoe construction is creating space for lighter, more efficient products that combine fit, cushioning, airflow, and support without traditional assembly.
- Printed Performance Design
- Additive manufacturing is reshaping athletic product development through geometries that are difficult to achieve with molded or stitched components.
- Breathable Lattice Structures
- Open-framework materials are enabling new comfort-focused designs where ventilation, flexibility, and visual identity are embedded into the product itself.
Sectors Adopting This
- Athletic Footwear
- Performance sneaker brands can differentiate through digitally produced structures that reduce weight while enhancing comfort and functional design.
- Additive Manufacturing
- Consumer-ready 3D printing applications are expanding beyond prototyping as brands use advanced production methods for finished wearable goods.
- Sportswear Retail
- Retail assortments are gaining new value from sculptural, technology-driven products that blend performance features with distinctive aesthetic appeal.
