adidas Ultraboost Light Running Shoes

Hit the streets or the track in these Ultraboost shoes from adidas. The comfortable adidas PRIMEKNIT upper provides a supportive fit while the BOOST midsole ensures energy return and instant comfort with each step.

A Primeknit+ upper encases each foot in breathable comfort. Feeling like a second skin, its seamless construction surrounds the foot in a fused yarn that combines pure comfort with lightweight performance. Designed with motion in mind, the Primeknit+ adapts to the changing shape of your foot through the gait cycle, the breathable, sock-like design is engineered to provide enhanced support and increase comfort to areas of the foot that require it most. Alongside this, Forgedmesh materials are provided to ensure that feet can move flexibly and remain comfortable, whilst simultaneously enhancing breathability. A supportive heel counter delivers a secure and comfortable fit to reduce the risks of chafing and irritation so you can go further for longer in complete comfort. The soft foam moulds to the shape of your heel for a supportive fit. Completing the upper is a lace closure system that works to lock down the midfoot to reduce in-shoe slippage so you can enjoy distraction-free strides.

This upper is made with a high-performance yarn which contains at least 50% Parley Ocean Plastic, which is reimagined plastic waste, intercepted on remote islands, beaches, coastal communities and shorelines, preventing it from polluting our ocean.

adidas again takes cushioning and responsiveness to new heights, with their ultra-responsive, lightweight midsole. As many know now, Light BOOST is constructed from tiny TPU capsules that are moulded together to form a platform that is different to standard, solid foams; absorbing energy and then expelling it back out for a bounce-like effect. This energy return technology reduces the use of superfluous muscle power, diminishing fatigue and enhancing performance, keeping you going for longer. Capturing the energy you put into running and blasting it right back out, the newly optimised Boost midsole brings even more energy return to your ride, and on this occasion lighter in weight than other versions. Compared to the previous model the Ultraboost Light midsole is 10% lighter and provides even more energy return and cushioning, this also manages to maintain its special function and bounce in conditions as low as -20 degrees, making it a reliable, durable and hard to beat midsole. Furthermore, the midsole features a Linear Energy Push system that offers increased midfoot and forefoot stiffness to reduce the amount of energy exerted in each and every step. The reason is simple: a running shoe shouldn't get in your way; it should propel you forward. Both of these unique technologies work in tandem to push you ahead of the competition as well as give you a good basis to break PBs.

Manufactured from Continental rubber, the outsole ensures the Ultraboost Light has a superior level of grip and a smooth transition through the gait cycle. The outsole construction works with BOOST to allow the shoe to stretch, for a flexible and lightweight underfoot feel. Inspired by tyre technology, continental rubber supplies traction on wet and dry surfaces, giving you no excuse not to get out and run. The outsole is designed to be just as durable as the BOOST midsole, leaving you with a resilient, cushioned and grippy running shoe. The natural rubber used in this shoe has been sourced from the latex that is tapped from rubber trees - a renewable resource. When compared to traditional synthetic rubber that is made from fossil fuels, this Natural Performance rubber has less of an environmental impact.
