Orange against deep indigo is a near-opposite pairing, and adidas pushed it further by adding Equipment Yellow as a third tone. Solar Orange runs bright and warm across the Primeknit, Night Indigo supplies a blue so dark it passes for black in shade, and the yellow lands in small doses where the eye catches it first. Nothing about the combination is subtle, which is unusual for a silhouette whose catalogue is dominated by greys and whites.
Underneath the palette, the shoe is a standard women's UltraBoost: a knitted upper, a three-stripe cage tied into the lacing so that tightening the laces locks down the arch, and a full-length Boost midsole made from thermoplastic polyurethane pellets fused under steam, a foam adidas developed with the chemical maker BASF before putting it into running shoes in 2013. Retail was $230, which places the pair with the premium builds rather than at the base tier. Colour, not construction, is what it sells on.
