Released on March 26, 2019, this pair belongs to the suede and leather run adidas built on the UltraBoost 1.0 pattern. The knit upper takes textile and suede overlays in Core Black and Grey Four, and Power Red, a deep saturated red, handles the accent work. The three-stripe lacing cage at the midfoot is cut from leather rather than moulded from plastic, which changes both the look and the way the arch is held.
The Torsion system under the arch works with that cage to keep the foot stable, and a full-length Boost midsole carries the cushioning. Price was $180, matching a standard UltraBoost of the same year despite the upgraded materials. Red is the only warm colour on the shoe and it is used sparingly, so the pair keeps the quiet register that made the S&L range work as everyday footwear rather than as running kit.
