A Runners’ Dream: The Adidas Ultraboost 22 That’s Re-imagined By Women

Who run the world? Girls!

Adidas has always been on top of their game when it comes to running shoes, but their latest conception: the Ultraboost 22 deserves an honorary mention. For over half a decade, the three-stripe sportswear company has been challenging itself to improve the Ultraboost silhouette. Be it tweaking the shoes’ design, features, comfort, or sustainability, adidas ensures their latest range stands for something different every year. Though we must say, it’s the Ultraboost 22 that takes the cake for having it all — and here’s where we tell you why.

Re-engineered, Re-designed By Women

While running shoes for women are not newfangled, what many don’t know is that they are designed by men. Not trying to be a sexist here, but honestly, only women know women best. And so here we have the Ultraboost 22, created by an all-women team after analyzing women-specific insights from an online anatomy database of 1.2 million foot scans. The outcome? A pair of comfy sneakers that accommodates the female gait cycle and promises an extra 4% in energy return.

What’s Special About The Ultraboost 22?

What made that possible boils down to its overall sketch that is based on the female foot. Not only can we expect a better fit due to a lower instep, the inclusion of an S-curve heel allows greater movement of the Achilles tendon. While those alone give a great boost to the runner, the shoes are also equipped with an all-new technology called the Linear Energy Push (LEP). It’s a torsion system that delivers more grip and footing for better support.

Do Your Part In Sustainability

Additionally, comfort is another big theme for the Ultraboost 22. Owing to the PRIMEKNIT + upper and signature BOOST midsole, your feet will feel as if running on a cloud. As if that wasn’t impressive enough, adidas wows the crowd further with their efforts in sustainability — crafting the stretch-knit upper with 50% Parley Ocean plastic and 50% recycled polyester.

Crazy Colourways

Despite making women-specific enhancements to the Ultraboost 22, men are not left out on this for all of the shoes in the range deliver a soft, bouncy ride. Not to mention, the colorways and patterns can stir up serious envy. Don’t believe? Come check them out yourself!
