Real Adidas items are uniformly and neatly stitched. Fake ones will have shoddy and loose stitch work. Uneven stitching often makes it easy to spot a fake Adidas product.

It feels more like a shoe to be used for shorter sessions, and is perhaps better suited to someone logging a few 5-10km runs each week. It's not a bad running shoe, but the effect of the new midsole is muted and there are plenty of lighter shoes that offer similar rides for less money.

The fit of the 4DFWD runs a half size large because of how stretchy the Primeknit is, so you need to get it a half size down from your normal Adidas size for the perfect fit.

With every stride, the 4DFWD midsole takes vertical impact and translates it into forward motion. This provides a seamless transition and smooth under foot experience.”
