The Making of adidas adiZero Primeknit

words // Brandon Richard

Ahead of the London Olympic Games, adidas entered the knit-based running market with the introduction of the adiZero Primeknit. Manufactured in Germany, the Primeknit is the brand's first ever one-piece, seamlessly bonded runner.

To give us a closer look at the construction of the Primeknit, adidas has released this video, in which we get a step-by-step look at the entire production process.

If you weren't one of the 2,012 people to snag the limited Primeknit run in London last month, a wider launch is set for this fall. We'll have more information about the new adi runner here at Sole Collector.

[quote="Destinty"]Freakin love this video. Great look into the manufacturing process of the shoe, from engineering the upper, to fitting it over the last, to attaching the upper to the outsole, and down to the packaging (which also looks cool BTW). Those people really seem to care for the product they're working on. While I personally prefer the placement of the stripes being more horizontal (like in the adiZero Prime sprint spike), I can understand the use of the traditional look as their initial foray with this construction method. Overall, I'm excited about what the industry will bring with this construction in terms of design, performance, customization, and sustainability. Keep in mind, Nike wasn't the only one researching and developing a one-piece upper; other companies have been on it as well. It's just that Nike, being the huge marketing machine it is, happens to be the first to get it out there (despite the supposed limitations of its initial production run). [/quote] Excellent points, esp the last one on the fact that Nike wasn't the only one researching knit-based tech, but they're lost on the sheeps here. Some people believe all the hype. "Another company did it better, oh it's the Swoosh!" Clowns.
Nice to see them compete with swoosh and trump them.
ok
