[adidas Originals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeans-trainer) introduces a new all-black tonal iteration of the signature Ultra 4DFWD sneaker model to join the roster this season. It is made using the same shape as the iconic [UltraBOOST](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultraboost-5-x-hermanos-koumori) sneaker's upper along with the 4DFWD base foundation as a hybrid blend that fuses together some favorites from the sportswear giant's archives.

It is made in the Triple Black hue and spotlights the shape and simplistic color palette. The upper is made from the brand's Primeknit material to give it a form-fitting shape that is notably made with at least 50% [Parley Ocean](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/4dfwd-1) Plastic material. The rest of the shoe is made from recycled yarn polyester and sits on top of a 4D midsole foundation.
