Adidas’ new 3D-printed Climacool sneakers are surprisingly comfortable, predictably polarizing.

The shoes are lightweight, lightweight and more rigid than I expected from the photos and marketing pitch.

They’re only available in a single off-white colorway, but they're comfortable, durable, and make a compelling entry onto the streetwear scene.
