With summer here breathability in footwear is an important feature many consumers are seeking, and the [Adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-ultraboost-light-goretex) Ultra Boost provides a wearable design that is knitted for maximum ventilation. In addition, an engineered [Primeknit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-ultraboost-5x) woven upper ensures the foot remains cool through all day wear while a supported foam sole keeps feet comfortable.

The Ultra Boost shoes are a merging between casual wear and functional athletic footwear by providing shoes that can be worn throughout the day as well as for training at the gym. The sole is constructed with a composite Continental rubber that provides stability and security. The knitted upper ensures a tightly fitted wear so consumers can run, walk and jump in the shoes with ease.

The sneakers are available in several monochromatic hues for easy coordination including white, black and grey.
