The Boost 2.0 is a follow-up to the original Enery Boost sneaker model, and [Adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-ultraboost-5x) added some sweet new features for functionality. The Solar Blue edition is outfitted in the Three Stripes' Techfit that gives the sneaker a sock-like fit. The Boost 2.0 conforms to the movement of your foot while you run for ultimate comfort and stability. Every step you take results in an added bounce in your step because of the Boost technology in the pebbled midsole. The bright Solar Blue color adds some style to these [performance-driven sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/performance-running-footwear). The sneakers are also available in Dark Onix, Vivid Berry, and Running White colors. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Lightweight Running Shoes:** Opportunity to develop innovative running shoes that provide maximum comfort and stability in a lightweight design. - **Sock-like Fit:** Disruptive potential in creating sneakers with a sock-like fit to enhance comfort and optimize performance. - **Boost Technology:** Potential for incorporating Boost technology in footwear to create a responsive and energy-efficient running experience. ### Where This Applies - **Sportswear:** Opportunity for sportswear brands to incorporate lightweight and responsive technologies into their footwear offerings. - **Athletic Footwear:** Disruptive potential in the athletic footwear industry by introducing sneakers with a sock-like fit for enhanced performance. - **Running Gear:** Innovative opportunities in the running gear market to create energy-boosting shoes with advanced technologies for runners. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Redesigned Flagship Running Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-ultraboost-5x.md) - [Juxtaposing Dynamic Running Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adistar-cushion.md) - [High Energy Return Runners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floatzig-1-womens-running-shoes.md) - [Bold Vibrant Running Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/takumi-sen-10.md) - [Lofty Long-Distance Running Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-supernova-glide-and-rise-3.md) - [Ultra-Plump Sleek Running Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aruku.md) - [Revived Dynamic Running Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adistar-cushion-3.md) - [Speed-Optimizing Running Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adios-pro-4.md) - [Sleek Running Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adizero-evo-sl.md)
