adidas Ultra BOOST Web DNA Appears in Black and Red

Select Model

When adidas tacked on the DNA label to the Ultra BOOST a few years back, it was to determine an overarching class that encompassed the Three Stripe’s entire heritage — not just that of the UB line. It also enabled the silhouette to explore new avenues, including leather and suede options, to Climacool-constructed options for Summer, all whilst keeping its DNA intact. Their newest silhouette, the adidas Ultra BOOST Web doesn’t get too far off the wall, though it does add a brand-new element to the Ultra BOOST lineage — midsole caging.

There are a handful of small tweaks to the upper, too, with the removal of the signature heel clip, lace cages clipped by a thick embroidery cap, and added collar detail at the heel. The biggest change to the design occurs underfoot, with a one-piece cross-hatch cage moving organically in shape with the sole. Outsoles are omitted, with the role now filled by the aforementioned web cage.

One of the first to release is expected to be this Darth Maul-lookin’ black and red number, though there has been a handful of previously-sighted colorways also expected to arrive soon, too. A release date is not yet known, so be sure to keep your eyes glued to our official Twitter account for further updates. Until then, enjoy a detailed look at the pair here below.
