The fascinating link between sportswear brands and 3D printing manufacturers/applied technologies. Technological innovation is set to completely revolutionize the wearing experience, manufacturing processes, and every other aspect.

Core Highlights:

DLP (Digital Light Processing) Technology
Adopted by ASICS (with LuxCreo), adidas (with Carbon), and RANGWE (with PollyPolymer) for high-precision rapid prototyping and scalable customized production.

FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) Technology
Nike's collaboration with Germany's Zellerfeld focuses on flexible and scalable 3D printed footwear.

Regional Trends
Chinese companies (e.g., LuxCreo, PollyPolymer) emphasize the efficiency advantages of DLP technology, while European/American collaborations (e.g., Carbon, Zellerfeld) place greater emphasis on production speed and sustainability.

01 ASICS × LuxCreo (DLP)

From Paris to Las Vegas, ASICS brought 3D printed shoes to the world!

02 adidas × Carbon (DLP)

adidas ClimaCool 4D: The shoe that breates, the choice of the future. Released in limited quantities globally, priced at 1199 RMB! This shoe utilizes advanced 3D printing technology, offering excellent breathability, a fit like a second skin, and a barefoot-like lightness. The perfect fusion of technology and art makes every step feel futuristic.

The initial release features an off-white shoe body paired with a black lacing system,延续ing the CLIMACOOL series' iconic "Ghost Stripes" design. The addition of the lacing structure breaks the limitations of the previous unisex adaptive design, retaining the advantages of the seamless construction while granting users more flexible adjustability. "We realized not everyone seeks an avant-garde aesthetic," industry commentator Matthew Mensley pointed out. "By reintroducing laces, adidas bridges the gap between tech appeal and mainstream taste."

Nike partnered with Zellerfeld to launch the new 3D printed Nike Air Max 1000, redefining the classic Air Max 1. This trendy sneaker uses 3D printing technology and eco-friendly TPU material, balancing high performance with fashion.

Nike teamed up with 3D printed footwear specialist Zellerfeld to infuse the spirit of the Air Max 1 into the Air Max 1000. The shoe debuted at ComplexCon 2024, drawing the attention of countless trendsetters and sneakerheads. The immersive booth and limited-edition colorway made it an instant market sensation. It's a true "collision of retro and future," blending classic appeal with cutting-edge technology.
