Adidas Ultraboost 5
The latest Ultraboost pairs Light Boost foam with a knit upper for a comfortable, springy ride that leans lifestyle as much as running. It works for easy miles, walking, and all-day wear, but serious training is better served by the Supernova or Adizero lines. Its popularity comes largely from comfort and style.
