The adidas "4DFWD" shoe, which has a special 3D-printed structure embedded in the midsole, has the function of converting stepping force into propulsive force. This article interprets this function as a mechanical metamaterial that converts compression into shear and explains how to design it. This article explains the macro physical properties that convert compression into shear from the viewpoint of material mechanics.
