Futuristic Weaved Running Sneakers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

adidas Launches the New Iteration of the Futurecraft STRUNG

— October 8, 2020 — Fashion
adidas gives the public a look at its latest Futurecraft silhouette in the form of the Futurecraft STRUNG running sneaker. It is constructed with an advanced weaving knit upper that takes design, robotics, and engineering into account with equal importance across the board.

The STRUNG silhouette stands out due to its unique construction process -- the upper is made using a brand new textile. The entire area is woven together using a proprietary STRUNG robot to ensure that it is precise through and through. The advanced robots craft the shoe all the way from the midsole up to the collar. It is run by the label's designers and engineers, ensuring the it runs properly through knitting simulations before being approved to construct a sneaker.
