Jasmine Tang From inviting iconic characters onto the Primegreen adidas Stan Smith to frequently collaborating with environmental organization Parley, adidas has actively been devising ways to innovatively embrace sustainable footwear design. The Three Stripes’ creative endeavors continue with the adidas UltraBOOST 5.0 DNA “Nature Lab”—a women’s-exclusive that applies recycled materials for a bold, multi-patterned look.
The UltraBOOST style starts off with a white Primeknit base that uses vivid scarlet and orange threads to create various knitted patterns. As if this wasn’t enough, the pair dares to kick things up a notch by covering the lace cages and heel counter in recycled textile. These elements sport a red and white tie-dye print that results in a loud, multi-patterned style overall. To offset the busy base, the sole unit opts for a simple white BOOST foam build that sees gum-brown Continental Rubber underfoot.
Take a closer look at the UltraBOOST 5.0 DNA “Nature Lab” below, which will arrive overseas on July 14. Stay tuned for more details on a stateside adidas.com release, which is likely to happen in the coming months.
