Adidas may have heard us after all. After months of salivating over the Adidas Consortium 4D series, the first Futurecraft 4D release, all we were able to do is just look at pictures with glazed eyes of wanting a pair at retail, but now, the dream is closer to us than expected, in the form of the ALPHAEDGE 4D.
The ALPHAEDGE differs a little bit from the Futurecraft, in the sense that the upper is more focused towards running abuse. The Primeknit features forgefiber, a derivative of the Alphabounce forgemesh to provide a lightweight, second-skin that holds the foot tight and vanishes in the straights. Nothing less than the cutting edge for Adidas’ flagship runner.
The midsole however, is the real star of the show. Think of it as the Ultraboost, in all sense of comfort and responsiveness, but a hundred times better. Borne from 17 years worth of athlete data, consolidated and refined into a hollow midsole that delivers controlled energy that reacts instantaneously to your demands; be it support, cushioning, or explosive bounce, whenever and wherever you need it.
The silhouette is finished off with a Continental rubber outsole with additional traction pods for systematically placed grip during sharp cuts and turns.
The ALPHAEDGE 4D is available at Adidas Sports KLCC, and adidas.com.my for a retail price of just RM1400. Honestly, you’re better off with these than the Yeezy 350 ‘Sesame’ or 500 ‘Salt.’ Keep a lookout on the 17th of November, and pray to the gods you get your hands on a pair of these beauties, cos this will definitely be limited stock.
