Sportswear brand adidas introduces the new UltraBOOST S&L sneaker model as the latest addition to its Pride Pack this Spring/Summer 2020 season. The footwear celebrates pride and does so with a colorful palette as per usual, adorning the familiar model with six colors -- red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.

The tones detail the six stripes over the black leather cage at the sneaker's midfoot area, all in a different hue. The lateral side features red, orange, and yellow, as a warmer look, whereas the medial side boasts cooler tones with purple, blue, and green. The six colors are also found on the lace tips and a themed detail accents the insole. Rounding out the model is text that reads "We are proud and unapologetic, and we encourage you to be the same. Love unites."
