"With Digital Light Synthesis, we venture beyond limitations of the past, unlocking a new era in design and manufacturing," Eric Liedtke, a group executive board member for Adidas, explained in the release.

Though the company's last 3D-printed shoes were limited edition, Adidas plans to create more than 100,000 pairs of Futurecraft 4Dsby the end of 2018, so here's hoping you'll be able to snag a pair.
