adidas adiSTAR SOLUTION footwear design | 19 april 2010 This is one of my first models launched this year. I designed it in 2009 taking inspiration from adiZero Aegis. The idea for this shoe was to offer stability without extra second density elements on medial side. Only by tooling geometry and proper midsole components. adiSTAR Solution has stretchy panel between the stripes for better torsionbilty and to improve the fit. New upper construction with open see-through mesh and suede underlays. It's the first model in adidas running range to be positioned between neutral and stability. So it can be used by both types of runners. Man's colorway is white/black/gold. medial side more supportive with eyestay connected and different sole geometry. outsole geometry addressing medial stability We used older adidas system EFR to improve forefoot cushioning. Rubber has basically 2 layers: top as blown rubber and bottom as carbon. closed and supportive toe cap on medial stripes with stretchy panel between. see-through mesh with white suede underlays
