The footwear is not only performance-ready, but it is also quite aesthetically pleasing, with a strong vibrant exterior. The upper features a knitted upper that assures elasticity, breathability and a tight fit. In addition, a "semi-translucent cage and heel clip" add a slick contrast in the upper, as well as a more secure experience for the wearer. The psychedelic sneakers' BOOST midsole ensures superior cushioning effects and proper energy return. The Nice Kicks x adidas UltraBOOST footwear dropped on August 17th. It is available on Nice Kicks' website and the retail price is set to $180 USD.
