adidas Originals introduces a new look of the UltraBOOST DNA sneaker model in a colorway entitled 'Topography.' This spotlights a fluorescent option full of rich and deep gradients. Most of the shoe's upper is made up of a bright red color named Solar Red and it allows the detailed Primeknit materials to show through.
It weaves throughout the shoe and at the rubber sidewalls as well. As a touch of branding, there is a tonal logo that is seen at the top of the tongue that brings to attention down to the thin and flat laces. Additional branding can be seen at the rubber sidewalls before the shoe is rounded out with a black heel support and sits on top of a BOOST midsole with navy blue and magenta gradients.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Fluorescent Gradient Tonal Sneakers
- The trend of creating sneakers with fluorescent gradient tonal colors could expand to other footwear industries and lead to more emphasis on highly customizable and personalized products.
- Topographic Print Sneakers
- The trend towards topographic prints on sneakers could expand to the broader fashion industry, and could lead to other apparel featuring this type of print.
- Primeknit Material
- The widespread use of Primeknit materials in athletic footwear is providing opportunities for companies to develop new and innovative textiles that can be applied to other industries such as interior design or automotive textiles
Sectors Adopting This
- Athletic Footwear

- Fashion
