[adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/don-issue-7) introduces a new [tonal iteration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aqua-colorway) of the iconic Ultra4D sneaker model for the season with a colorful update blending together the hues of Footwear White, Core Black, and Solar Red. This weaves throughout the entire upper of the shoe's base and makes up what lies under the Primeknit material.

The white knitted foundation is threaded with bright pops of [neon yellow, orange, and deep blue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fluorescent-colorway) throughout. Looking closer at the rear quarter section, there is a more notable blue look and the inside of the shoe has a bold `solar Red. Additionally, the branded tongue is done in blue as well as the Solar Red eyelets and the branded Three Stripes round out the shoe in black.
