The super lightweight Energy Boost 2.0 just got revamped in a Solar Blue color. 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.
