adidas Ultra Boost 5.0 Triple Black

The Adidas Ultra Boost 50 Triple Black is a running sneaker featuring a fully tonal black colorway applied across every component of the shoe from the Primeknit upper through the BOOST midsole and Continental rubber outsole, constructed with a Primeknit upper using a blend of 50% traditional textile and 75% Primeblue yarn, the latter a high-performance sustainable material made from Parley Ocean Plastic recovered from coastal and island communities before it reaches the ocean, giving the 2021 Ultra Boost its most environmentally significant material innovation since the introduction of BOOST cushioning. The Triple Black colorway distinguishes the cages and heel supports with a slightly translucent, browned finish that provides subtle contrast within the otherwise fully tonal black execution, while the Primeknit construction features the 1.0-inspired weave pattern at the toe box that perforates in close-to-identical fashion to the original 2015 Ultra Boost, connecting the 2021 iteration to the model's founding silhouette through a deliberate archival design reference across the upper's most visible area. The full-length black BOOST midsole delivers the energy-returning cushioning platform that has defined the Ultra Boost's performance and lifestyle appeal since its landmark 2015 debut, with the Continental rubber outsole providing the reliable traction and durability that made the collaboration with Continental AG a defining feature of the premium running shoe category across the past decade. The Ultra Boost 50 designation references the 2021 model as the fifth-generation Ultra Boost updated format, with the 2021 version representing one of the most dramatic upper redesigns in the model's history as adidas moved away from the Three Stripes cage system used in previous versions to an updated Primeknit upper architecture that changes the shoe's silhouette while maintaining its essential functional and aesthetic identity. The Triple Black colorway is the perpetually reliable choice in the Ultra Boost range for collectors who want the maximum versatility and daily wearability from the silhouette, as the tonal black execution integrates into the widest range of outfit contexts while the subtle cage and heel support's translucent finish prevents the shoe from reading as flat or without visual depth at close range. Released January 15, 2021 at $180 retail, the Triple Black received the adidas stock keeping designation FY0306 for the men's version and FZ2762 for the women's version. The Adidas Ultra Boost 50 Triple Black was released on January 15, 2021 with a retail price of $180.
