Some of the most innovative designs in the footwear industry came from adidas, with the likes of Yeezy pushing the boundaries of what footwear could be. Even without Ye spearheading these innovations, adidas has found new footing in this space with wild designs of its own, including the Adizero Aruku and Harden Vol. 9. Previously, The Three Stripes made significant strides in the 3D printing world but has slowed down on this front over the last few years. The German sportswear label is now re-entering the 3D printing game with the adidas Climacool.
Heavy Yeezy vibes come from the 100% polyurethane slip-on, almost like the unreleased Derrick Rose DZY sneaker, with an intricate lattice structure making up the design. Open-space mesh-like construction allows for breathability, while the snug design will make the slip-on hug one's foot akin to a Foam RNNR. Lining on the inside of the slip-on provides added comfort, and Climacool wicks and disperses sweat.
