The adidas made for (AM4) a city designs are backed by the company's Speedfactory facility where robots support the manufacturing process as well as the research on consumers' running behaviour. The combination of both - automated manufacturing and data-driven design development, allows in future individual creations for personal needs; the aim is the production of tailored running shoes in short time. Currently, the shoes are produced at the Speedfactory in Ansbach (Germany) which will be joined soon by a second facility in Atlanta (USA).
