THE ADIDAS ULTRABOOSTA MODERN DAY CLASSICIS AS NECESSARY AS EVER

In the past six years, the Ultra BOOST has evolved a number of times, changing up everything from its Primeknit Weave to its cage. And if you’re not quite ready for the model’s more daring interpretations, the 5.0 is a perfect start — its look, design, and feel an amalgamation of the many iterations before it. To get yourself started, you can’t go wrong with the Core Black/Cloud White mix as it reminds of the “Cookies and Cream” colorways offered previously.

While initially adopted by the streetwear crowd, the Ultra BOOST has since integrated itself into adidas’ sports-driven initiatives. Today, the runner — in its 2021 update — even serves as a uniform to schools the likes of Miami, Washington, Arizona State, and many more of the brand’s official partner schools. Show your school pride with one of the many selections of the UltraBOOST ’21.

At its introduction, BOOST was instantly well-received, becoming a favorite among anyone who gave it a try. And in the years since then, few cushioning have come close to its innovation… that is, save for one: the Ultra 4D. The “New BOOST” of sorts, the tech has since become a household staple, appearing underfoot the original Ultra BOOST 1.0 silhouette as well as its own futuristic runner.
