The Adidas 4D family will expand this week with the new Consortium Runner V2 4D. Calling the shoe an update to the model first introduced last year is doing it a disservice, as the entire upper has been reworked to become much more dynamic.

What's changed? — The original Consortium Runner 4D featured an all-knit upper, understandably emphasizing the shoe’s game changing 3D-printed sole. Now, as 4D has seeped into more and more consciouses, the V2’s upper steps into the foreground with multi-layered construction over a breathable mesh. Together with an excellent contrast of textures and colors, the asymmetric tongue and a trio of counter-balanced Adidas logos make for a potent combination.

When and where can I buy? — Look for the beautiful new sneaker to hit Adidas Consortium retailers, including Solebox, this Friday for $350.
