Displaying one of Adidas' most famed silhouettes, the sneaker now displays the chic touches of the British designer. The new Ultra Boost sneaker follows the release of the Stella McCartney x Adidas Spring/Summer 2016 collection. It features a [Primeknit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-ultraboost-5x) upper in a blue and white colorway and is constructed with a sole support system exclusive to the Stella McCartney line. Much like the BOOST runners, the newly designed sneaker is outfitted with a molded synthetic and mesh midfoot cage which provides optimal support that improves performance.
