No matter whether you find yourself with a soft spot for futuristic footwear or simply struggle to make decisions when it comes to the height of your beloved sneakers, the Y3 4D IOW Runner could certainly be the one for you. Slotting seamlessly alongside their revised take on the adidas Ultraboost, the silhouette boasts a sleek sportswear-inspired shape, clever fabrication and expectantly monochromatic colour scheme that takes functional styling to the next level.

 

 

Shrouded primarily in a lightweight and breathable mesh fabric for an enigmatic look, a synthetic overlay runs the length of the shoe whilst a suede panel situates itself to the heel for additional support. Produced to give extra stability in high-performance zones, a 4D printed midsole below can be seen revealed through a mid-foot cut-out.

 

 

Perhaps its most unique selling point and where the 4D IOW Runner truly starts to come into its own however, is its capability to quickly and easily change its shape dependant the wearer’s desired finish. Coming with two interchangeable neoprene inserts, the sneakers can be deployed in a more classic low-top running-inspired makeup or, should you require further protection, a mid-top complete with zipped ankle collar and tonal logo callout.
