The adidas Cloudfoam Ultra Zen is one of the popular brand's lower-cost options, carrying a refreshingly affordable price tag of just $60 USD.
Despite it being less expensive than many of the brand's other offerings, the adidas Cloudfoam Ultra Zen doesn't skimp on style or functionality. With a sleek look that's maintained by its virtually seamless construction, the latest iteration has a minimalist white and gray colorway -- which is contrasted only by the statement branding that decorates a thick elastic band on top.
Made with mesh, the sneakers are incredibly breathable, as well as comfortable due to the soft cushioning that fills the sole. Overall, the updated adidas Cloudfoam Ultra Zen is a lightweight and versatile footwear option that's well-suited to consumers who have an appreciation for simplistic styles.
