Finish Line worked in collaboration with sportswear label adidas on one of its most iconic silhouettes for the 'In Pursuit Of' collection. The new collaborative capsule is comprised of Ultra Boost Mid colorway options, both of which recall the windy city of Chicago. The first tonal option of the running shoes see hues of blue, gray and red, and the second colorway blends gray and 'Hi-Res aqua.'
Both pieces in the collection are constructed from knit materials across the uppers in the multicolored design, sitting on top of the label's signature full-length Boost midsole. To round out the entire piece is the Continental outsole, crafted from rubber materials for traction.
