This save cost but also it help fitting better. Because pre-made cost inventory and transportation but fitting is more important if shoe don't fit it hurt

If we add a silk screen technique to 3 dimensional printer so that it can scan the size of old shoe then produce edge pattern and use silk screen sweep with material compatible thickness each layer then finish with curing timer and heat managment

How will u clean the shoe? When the dust will go inside the holes? Or water will go inside the sole and effect the bottom of shoe

But they are still not that comfortable like the ultraboost so should someone go for this?

Ive had ultraboost 3s, 4s and 4d 4s. The 4ds feel the same as the regulars
