Adidas Brings Its 3D Printed Cushioning to Everyday Wear With Climacool Laced

adidas’ latest CLIMACOOL LACED drop pushes its 3D printed cushioning story into a wider, post game comfort lane. It features a fully ventilated, lattice midsole designed to keep air moving around the foot on and off the court. Arriving as part of a Spring 2026 push to scale its 3D platform globally, the updated model leans into all round breathability. It also offers easy wear for athletes and everyday consumers.

A New Phase for 3D at Adidas

This CLIMACOOL LACED builds on adidas’ earlier 3D printed experiments. It shifts from limited concept runs toward more accessible, lifestyle leaning products. The brand positions the shoe as a post performance option that still carries an exposed lattice design. Furthermore, this reflects a broader strategy to turn innovation platforms into everyday comfort franchises rather than niche collectibles.

Design Focus

The hero of the design is a 3D printed midsole made from a single lattice structure that lets air circulate through and around the foot. Large perforations wrap the sidewalls and underfoot. In addition, cutouts in the heel and forefoot work with a breathable upper to encourage ventilation in every direction. The upper uses a minimalist, lace up construction and open mesh zones, keeping weight down and giving the silhouette a clean, technical look. This look reads easily with track pants, shorts, or relaxed denim.

WNBA player Kahleah Copper said, “For me, I love a simple yet put together look – and comfort must be front of mind. This new sneaker keeps it minimal and I just love the way it is the perfect foundation for any outfit. What’s even better is that they’re truly designed to breathe, with ventilation from all angles they give my feet so much added air when I walk – something I need more than ever after game-day!”

NBA player Jalen Williams echoed that sentiment, saying, “For me, comfort is essential as soon as I step off the court. My feet go through so much during training and games, so giving them time to breathe is a non-negotiable – shoes are exactly what I need after an intense session on the court.”

Tech Made for All day Wear

Underfoot, the lattice midsole is tuned to deliver cushioning and support in key zones, balancing softness with stability so the shoe can handle long days on your feet rather than just short runs. adidas frames the CLIMACOOL LACED as ideal for everyday wear, walking to and from training, travel days, and city wear. In these scenarios, athletes still want responsive comfort and breathability without a full performance runner.

Release and Positioning

The latest CLIMACOOL LACED colourways are rolling out globally in March 2026 through adidas channels, including the adidas app, select stores, and partners, with prices aligned to the brand’s current 3D printed footwear tier. That keeps the shoe above standard lifestyle models but below ultra limited collabs, signalling a push to scale 3D cushioning as a recognizable comfort story rather than a rare innovation drop.

Why it Matters

As performance categories cool and consumers look for versatile comfort shoes, adidas is using tech led designs like CLIMACOOL LACED to stand out in the all day wear segment. The move fits a wider industry pattern where brands lean on visible cushioning, 3D printing, and breathability narratives to justify premium price points while broadening access beyond hardcore runners or collectors.
