Animal print runners can go a long way in spicing up the sporty wardrobe. However, adidas and Stella McCartney take it to new heights with the Ultra Boost X — a design that skillfully mixes a playful pattern and an ultra-minimalist silhouette. The footwear is a stylish take on adidas' Ultra Boost. The model features a breathable Primeknit upper with Dynamic Arch contours that ensure the vessel is flexible and the foot is supported.
The animal print runners come in an all-black and all-white colorways. The leopard-inspired pattern on the midsole of the shoe makes a strong contrast with the minimalist upper and easily draws attention. The stylistic nod is completely in-tune with Stella McCartney's designer persona.
