ADIDAS ARCHIVE: PRIMEKNIT

Looking to push the limits of both sustainable design and materials performance, 3-Stripes designers set out to explore new ways to engineer footwear. The challenge connected the team to innovative artists with similar goals, and after a year and many iterations, the first adidas Primeknit shoes launched. Built to be both flexible and stable, adidas Primeknit digitally knits the entire upper in just one piece, resulting in less material and less waste than shoes made from many separate pieces sewn together. A precise amount of flexibility and support can be achieved with the finely tuned yarn, creating lightweight comfort that wraps seamlessly around the foot.

Primeknit Shoes Frequently Asked Questions

What adidas shoe has Primeknit and Boost technology?

Many shoes have both adidas Primeknit uppers and adidas Boost midsoles, like the Ultraboost running shoes. The lifestyle sneakers called Ultraboost 1.0, Ultraboost DNA and NMD also have both techs. adidas Primeknit keeps the shoes lightweight and breathable, and adidas Boost returns energy with every stride.

Is NMD Primeknit waterproof?

A few adidas NMD shoes are waterproof — look for GORE-TEX in the name, like the NMD_V3 GORE-TEX, NMD_S1 GORE-TEX and NMD_R1 Trail GORE_TEX. However, NMD adidas Primeknit shoes aren't waterproof. adidas Primeknit is breathable and supportive, with a sock-like fit.

What is the difference between Flyknit and Primeknit?

adidas Primeknit and Nike's Flyknit are both lightweight mesh materials that give shoes a snug, socklike fit. Flyknit is a one-piece mesh upper with some areas that are woven more tightly together for support, and others a bit looser for breathability or flexibility. adidas Primeknit has a very slightly looser weave. Based on athlete input, adidas Primeknit is designed for targeted support with a refined look. adidas uses the versatile material in both sport and style footwear as well as in apparel.
