adidas Boost was developed together with the chemical company BASF and promised better cushioning than conventional foam outsoles. Initially, adidas Performance equipped sneakers such as the Energy Boost with the cushioning sole and the first sporting successes were achieved.
adidas Ultra Boost - performance sneaker with lifestyle charm.
In 2015, the adidas Ultra Boost was released and the triumph of Boost technology was unstoppable. The Ultra Boost from adidas is the perfect blend of innovation and style. From a performance sneaker, the adidas Ultra Boost has morphed into a popular lifestyle sneaker for men and women. The upper of the Ultra Boost 1.0 is made of lightweight Primeknit and has a sock-like construction that molds to the foot. The obligatory three stripes from adidas are made of plastic and provide a perfect fit along with the plastic heel counter. The midsole made of Boost material is combined with a non-slip outsole and the adidas Performance Runner is ready. The cushioning of the adidas Boost technology provides unparalleled comfort and the small pressed beads provide a technical look. With the adidas Ultra Boost 19 and adidas Ultra Boost 20, the technology has been refined even further and with the 5.0, they have already reached the fifth evolutionary stage of the adidas Primeknit upper. This year, adidas introduced the Ultra Boost 21, which features an even thicker Boost sole and increases energy return by 6% compared to its predecessor.
