Adidas' Ultraboost line of running shoes has always been one of the most popular among casual runners, not least because the shoes were soft and bouncy and looked quite cool, too. And if you liked the previous iterations of the shoe – we sure did, check out T3’sAdidas Ultraboost 19,Adidas Ultraboost 21andAdidas Ultraboost 22 reviews– you’ll love the new lighter and more sustainable Ultraboost Light.
Marking a decade since the introduction of BOOST technology, the new and improved Ultraboost Light benefits from 30% lighter BOOST material. Taking runners' experiences to the next level, the all-new Ultraboost Light also boasts a redesigned Linear Energy Point (LEP) found on the sole of the shoe has been reworked to “optimise responsiveness and work in harmony” with the new Light BOOST material.
Looking at the press images, the Ultraboost Light seems very similar to previous Ultraboost shoes with its chunky heel, plush integrated heel tab and sporty, tight-fitting upper. “Thanks to our ground-breaking material innovation – Light BOOST – runners retain the existing benefits of running in an Ultraboost, but with the bonus of a lighter silhouette,” adds Simon Lockett, Footwear Product Marketing Category Director at Adidas.
