adidas Unveils Two New Colorways of the UltraBOOST DNA Sneaker

adidas Originals introduces the latest iterations of the UltraBOOST DNA sneaker model in two tonal updates. The sportswear brand launches two colorway options arriving in both 'Core Black' for a more muted option and a 'Glory Mint' colorway.

The running sneaker model retains its comfortable construction of Primeknit materials throughout the upper to ensure that the body wraps and secures the wearer's foot. The signature BOOST midsole foundation is responsive and returns energy with every step. The outsole features the classic Continental rubber material with a stable Torsion system to deliver traction and grip. Additional details of the new tonal updates include the enclosure system, which is informed by a yellow lacing system detailed with hits of yellow and navy blue throughout.
