Following the October release of the Futurecraft sneaker concept from Adidas with the latest technological soles printed on the 3D printer, the American ballet shoe manufacturer, New Balance, also presented its novelty .

Unlike Adidas, which presents its sneakers so far only in the form of a concept using various materials as the base of the sole (for example, it is presented from oceanic plastic at the COP-21 climate conference now in Paris), New Balance plans to launch its version next April. By the way, the serial version will appear on the January CES 2016.

The joint development of New Balance and 3D Systems is based on the latest DuraForm® Flex TPU powder compound, which is transformed by laser sintering into a unique elastomer in its characteristics.

At first glance, the porous structure of the sole demonstrates the randomness of the formation of air capsules.



However, this is not the case. The latest research of the New Balance laboratory in the field of pressure distribution of various parts of the foot on the sole in the process of running gives a certain pattern of the location of these capsules. And if you look closely, it is very clearly visible:



Concentration in the field of maximum load gives the effect of energy return when running, and layer-by-layer sintering provides excellent strength and flexibility of the sole:



There are no comments about weight - there is practically one air here.

The only thing that while the representatives of New Balance do not report, this is at what price the novelty will go on sale. However, the wait is not long.
