Three colours on a suede and leather build, placed rather than blended. The Primeknit runs black and Grey Three for breathability and a snug fit, then red suede wraps around the toe and reappears at the heel for contrast, and a blue suede panel sits on the heel counter behind it. A leather cage threaded through the laces handles lockdown at the arch, tightening as the laces are pulled.
adidas released the pair on June 23, 2019 as part of a small group of suede and leather UltraBoosts that summer, all priced at $180. The mix of technical knit and traditional hide is the point of the range: the shoe keeps its running geometry and its full-length Boost midsole while wearing materials that belong to a casual shoe. Suede on the toe is a wear point, so the colour that gives the pair its character is also the first part of it to age.
