The adidas Project RAP 3D-printed football boot was worn in a match for the first time ever! North America’s MLS took a significant pause in their season because of the World Cup, but now that Spain has claimed that trophy, Major League Soccer’s back in business. During the July 22 game between Philadelphia Union and the New York Red Bulls, midfielder Cavan Sullivan took to the pitch in the adidas Project RAP football boot.

The world of 3D-Printed footwear is currently booming, and adidas are continuing to push the boundaries with their Climacool series and their fresh Project RAP (Radical Athlete Perception) initiative. Late in march, Team Trefoil quietly debuted a 3D-Printed basketball shoe and now they’re doubling down with a football boot!
adidas’s Project RAP (Radical Athlete Perception) program was announced last month, and looks to bolster innovation in sport by creating bespoke products for different athletes and disciplines. The latest is this 3D-printed football boot, that is set to provide a bespoke fit and tailored support. Helping to create the boot were the adidas innovation team, alongside Paris-Saint Germain’s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Athlético Madrid’s Ademola Lookman.
