The Louisiana school's black and gold is worked into the yarn itself here instead of being applied on top. Contrasting black and yellow fibres are knitted into the Primeknit, which is made with fifty percent recycled content, giving the upper a flecked look up close. Gold picks out the eyelets, glossy black covers the three-stripes on the moulded midfoot cage, and the UltraBoost name is embossed into the external heel counter.
adidas painted the Boost midsole black on this one rather than leaving it in the foam's natural off-white, which pulls the whole shoe into shadow and lets the gold do all the work. A Continental rubber outsole sits below. The pair arrived July 15, 2023 at $200 alongside other college editions, each using mismatched woven tongue tags that pair the adidas mark with a school logo. Grambling State is a historically Black university in Louisiana, and its place in the group set it alongside far larger athletic programmes.
