Priced at €180, it will be available in UK sizes 4-14 unisex in stores and online. The new sneakers launch around the world on April 1st 2027.

On the heels of Climacool and Cavan Sullivan’s 3D printed football boots, adidas introduces a new pair of sneakers made with 3D printing. Named Futurecool, the new sneakers build on the 3D-printed Climacool platform while introducing a bold new design and enhanced comfort.

The announcement does not specify which 3D printing technology Futurecool uses.

“Futurecool redefines what a sneaker can be, combining advanced printing technology and engineering with a design that looks and feels like nothing you have worn before. It’s designed for those who want to embrace the future before it becomes mainstream,” says Alexander Taylor, SV Innovation Design, adidas.

The new sneakers target those seeking something different from conventional sneaker design. They combine 360° breathability and adaptive-fit comfort with distinctive sculpted proportions and futuristic curves.

adidas’ Futurecool combines a sculpted aesthetic with advanced performance features. The shoe looks progressive and feels effortlessly breathable thanks to its 360° ventilation system.

Its seamless, second‑skin construction adapts naturally to the foot for all‑day comfort. Meanwhile, next‑generation additive manufacturing enables a fully 3D‑printed, single‑piece structure that blends resin with specialized materials to deliver durability, lightness and a smooth, adaptive fit.

adidas will offer first access to Futurecool through a limited release of 400 individually numbered pairs.
