White breaks up the black here, which is the practical difference between this pair and its all-dark twin from the same week. The upper is Primeknit woven with moisture-wicking Clima yarns, a construction adidas developed to keep feet dry in heat, and the contrast lands on the sole, the cage and the branding rather than across the knit itself. It reached shops on July 3, 2019.
Energy-returning Boost cushioning provides the ride, and a Stretchweb outsole works with the Torsion system to keep the shoe stable while still allowing the sole to flex through the stride. Stretchweb is the grooved rubber layout adidas uses to spread that flex across the whole foot. Retail was $180, the standard UltraBoost price for 2019, so the warm-weather knit cost nothing extra. Reworking a shoe designed around a dense knit sock for summer was the range's main engineering problem, and Clima is the answer adidas settled on.
