Metallic-Accented Running Shoes

adidas' UltraBOOSTs Arrive in a Golden Colorway Entitled Goldment

— October 29, 2019 — Lifestyle
adidas introduces a new iteration of its iconic UltraBOOST sneaker in a metallic colorway entitled 'Goldmet.' The running shoes are ready for the colder seasons with the latest update. The mudguard is constructed in a black and gray hue to overlay and protect the toe box. This stretches out to the midfoot in order to offer additional protection.

The signature stripes on the sides are replaced with metallic gold hardware around the midfoot cage and the heel counter for a bold look and security. The gold palette is also showcased on the toe box that surrounds the gray mudguard and the brand's logo can be found on the tongue. Rounding out the model is the Continental treaded outsole.
