Custom orthotics manufacturer SOLS Systems developed the first biomechanic 3D printed footwear, dubbed ADAPTIV. First seen at FAST A/W15 hosted by Knicks All-Star Carmelo Anthony. These kicks are the future of footwear and feature an adaptive airbag, backlite exoskeleton and more.
“Form, function and design were never meant to be separate; in the future, footwear will be adaptive, responsive, transformative and customized to you and your needs. The athlete will be protected from common lower extremity injuries and will be able to achieve peak performance, making them unstoppable.
With a system of gyroscopes and pressure sensors, ADAPTIV moves air pressure or fluids throughout the shoe to support your body’s shifts and motions. Instant Adaptability means that your footwear will constantly be adjusting itself to your body’s shifts and motions.”
