An adidas spokesperson stated in an email to Reuters that the company would defend itself against the allegations and Primknit was created through years of dedicated research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Primeknit is used on popular adidas sneakers such as the adidas Ultraboost, Futurecraft 4D, certain models of the NMD, and more.
