Ultra Boost Collective Pack

Ultra Boost Collective – Triple Black, Triple White

Its nearly time for the official release of one of the most, if not the most highly anticipated trainers of the year. The Ultra Boost Collective is a limited edition capsule collection featuring iconic and personal takes on the adidas’ classic Ultra Boost silhouette by 5 different designers. The result is a series of footwear designs that encapsulates both the innovative tradition of adidas and the distinct aesthetics of each creator – striking a perfect balance between futuristic technology and modern elegance.

This release, which follows the Stella McCartney introduction, is the first mens style design for the collection and has been designed by two of adidas’ in house creative directors, Dirk Schonberger – Creative Director of adidas’ sports style division and James Carnes – Creative Director of adidas’ sport performance teams. Building on their combined knowledge of high fashion and high performance, Dirk and James have developed their versions of the Ultra Boost playing on the history of adidas. With a heritage built upon using the highest calibre materials and superior manufacturing techniques, the guys wanted to design a shoe which demonstrates this. Having extensively explored a range of textiles from some of the most technically advanced performance fabrics to some of the most natural fabrics such as wool, the outcome is 2 monochrome designs for a sleek, minimal finish to let the shoe do the talking.

First up we take a closer look at the triple white. Crafted from the strongest fibre material in the industry with a textured primeknit upper, knitted sock with reflective yarn details in keeping with the Ultra Boosts running shoe history, knitted sock in dyneema and polyester, ceramic coated TPU cage and an open air mesh heel sock for extra breath-ability and comfort. The signature 3 stripes are visible in tonal white to the side panels, along with the classic heel counter for extra stability finished in a sprayed gloss lacquer for a premium finish. Sitting upon the Torsion energy return boost midsole and a grippy rubber outsole also in white, these are set to be huge on release day.

Moving onto the triple black, we can see the 2 designs are a pair of complimentary opposites. Expertly crafted from wool fibre with reflective accents adding functional details for night time running. The main body has been crafted from a primeknit upper in metallic black and wool, open air mesh heel sock, black heel counter sitting upon a contrasting white Torsion energy return boost midsole and black outsole finishes these trainers off perfectly.

Both trainers are more than just a running shoe, they are a technically enhanced design with all the aesthetic appeal that sneaker enthusiasts want and expect. The 2 designers push the boundaries in fabrics and technology to give the latest and most technically advanced running shoe. The full length Boost foam cushioning in both trainers has been included to provide enhanced energy return and comfort, along with leather details to the tongue and leather insoles adding to the premium feel to the sneakers.

Both colours of the Ultra Boost Collective trainers will be available to buy from Saturday 6th June and will cost £170.
