Retro Mesh-Wrapped Sneakers

adidas' Ultra Tech Sneakers are Complete in a Blue and Rose Colorway

adidas introduces a new iteration of the signature Ultra Tech sneakers in a colorway that blends together hues of blue and 'Rose.'

The soft suede is contrasted by hits of mesh in the colors of light pink, gray, and blue infused in a paneling formation.

Branding accents are infused in the form of the "adidas" and the trefoil at the heel, the tongue tab, and the iconic Three Stripes in gray and light pink to match the structural form of the lacing systems. The new Ultra Tech sneakers are now available for purchase online at 43einhalb.
