Studio Hagel Remixes 3D Printed Adidas ALPHAEDGE 4D
Studio Hagel disassembles and remixes the 3D printed Adidas Futurecraft 4D into an entirely unique hi-top hybrid silhouette.
Oxygen and light applied onto liquid polymer. That’s the formula Adidas is using to manufacture their latest generation of footwear, the ALPHAEDGE 4D. Digital Light Synthesis was developed with Carbon to allow the footwear makers to tailor midsole structure for cushioning, stability, and comfort specific to the weight and activity of its wearer. Now Amsterdam?s Studio Hagel is using the 3D-printed midsoles and compositing a hybrid shoe as componetry to reconstruct their own unique hi-top reinterpretation.
From Andy Barr, Adidas’s global category director for running:
With AlphaEdge 4D our goal is to enhance the athlete?s preparation for their sport. Running is the foundation of every athlete?s training and at adidas we understand that each athlete exhibits different movement patterns based on their sport, stature and gender.
The original goals of the ALPHAEDGE 4D as stated above ? available domestically in the US since February ? may have been motivated in servitude of the needs of athletes, but the company of one known as Studio Hagel envisioned something wholly different ? a design completely driven by creative inspiration.
