In a bold move that redefines the way footwear is imagined and made, adidas has introduced the CLIMACOOL, a shoe that defies conventional design norms. Created through additive manufacturing and engineered entirely through cutting-edge 3D printing technology, the shoe is a testament to adidas’s relentless pursuit of innovation, representing a significant leap in material innovation, design and comfort.
“Made like nothing, feels like nothing, looks like nothing”
The unique lattice structure is designed to mold seamlessly around the foot, offering 360° airflow that makes it feel as though the shoe is almost non-existent. Accented with distinctive ghost stripes on the lateral, the shoe delivers new levels of comfort and a truly distinctive look.
CLIMACOOL breaks away from traditional gendered sizing by being sculpted around a unisex foot model created with insights from testing on men and women. This approach offers an adaptable fit whilst providing optimal support with features like integrated heel pillows and arch support.
CLIMACOOL isn’t a shoe that just fits; it adapts, breathes and disappears on the foot.
Sleek and futuristic, a shoe like no other, unlocks new possibilities in form and function, with every little detail being obsessed over, from the touch, the feel to the ghost stripes on the lateral for the finishing touch.
CLIMACOOL is available from 2 May, 2025 online at adidas.co.za, adidas flagship stores, and Shelflife.
