Perfect shoe? The 3D printed shoe is meant to achieve an optimal balance of flexibility, strength, weight and durability.

New Balance has unveiled its first 3D printed running shoe, following in the footsteps of rival Adidas.

Set to launch in Boston next spring, the New Balance shoe features 3D-printed midsoles created with 3D Systems and DuraForm Flex TPU.

The technology is meant to achieve an optimal balance of flexibility, strength, weight and durability.

The limited-edition shoe will launch first in Boston in April 2016, before being rolled out to retail locations around the world.

They will also be featured at the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January.

Last month Adidas unveiled the Futurecraft 3D, its first shoe made with 3D-printed materials. — AFP Relaxnews
