- #speedfactory seen as the ultimate in Futurecraft with facility able to create completely unique product through high-speed process -- First product – the #adidas Futurecraft M.F.G. (Made for Germany) shoe – has now been unveiled -- #adidas Futurecraft M.F.G. will feature innovative technology -- #speedfactory technology creates a ‘Made For…’ approach for #adidas, with first release being ‘Made for Germany’ -
Herzogenaurach, Wednesday 21 September - adidas has today (Wednesday 21 September) unveiled the first product to be created at its industry-changing #speedfactory facility in Ansbach, Germany – the #adidas Futurecraft M.F.G. (Made for Germany).
Designed to provide the ultimate fit, the #adidas Futurecraft M.F.G. shoe is the first step in what #adidas believes will be a game-changing moment for the industry. It represents the first high performance footwear to come out of the #adidas #speedfactory, which will ultimately allow for the creation of footwear made for the specific fit and functional needs of consumers.
The #speedfactory development process – and #adidas Futurecraft M.F.G. shoe – will combine to create a state-of-the-art product made for individual needs. The shoe will be part of #adidas Running and will be an initial test from #adidas with the view of rolling out to other categories in the future.
James Carnes, Vice President of Strategy Creation at #adidas, said:“The launch of the #adidas Futurecraft M.F.G. is a defining moment for the industry. With #speedfactory, we have an industry-changing innovation that can be placed anywhere in the world – taking the lab to the street. It gives us the opportunity to combine unique manufacturing speed with the flexibility to rethink conventional processes. The starting point on this journey is the #adidas Futurecraft M.F.G. and our ambition is we will give consumers what they want, when they want it.”
The shoe features the highest design precision possible. ARAMIS technology has been used to understand the precise detail of how an athlete’s foot moves whilst running. This has led to the 3-stripe cage and traditional heel counter being replaced with a series of patches that are placed across different parts of the shoe to provide the best possible support.
With an innovative joining process being applied, the shoe is not only more sustainable but also benefits from adidas’ ground-breaking BOOST technology, giving the Futurecraft M.F.G. all the energy return benefits of recent #adidas Running shoes.
The final key feature is a new torsion bar, which is fitted into the outsole, for greater flexibility. The shoe has a PRIMEKNIT upper with all the elements combining to create the highest level of comfort, support and style.
Ben Herath, Vice President of Design at #adidas, said:“From a design perspective, #speedfactory presents us with the opportunity to explore new ways of creating the perfect shoe. The facility allows us to use data and analytics to shape the future of performance product – we can create a shoe using real-life insight, which can then provide real benefits to the athlete. The #adidas Futurecraft M.F.G. is the start of an exciting journey.”
The #speedfactory facility will ultimately allow for #adidas to create shoes specifically made for the needs of the consumer. The initial product, coming out of the Ansbach facility, will be made for Germany, with exclusive retail in the German market. #adidas will roll this approach out across further markets in the near future, with the US being the next to benefit from the #speedfactory model following the announcement of a similar facility being constructed in Cherokee County, Atlanta.
