Few modern silhouettes have made as big an impact on the sneaker space as the adidas Ultraboost. Testament to the design’s popularity and supremacy is that it continues to evolve without losing any momentum. It would have been easy for adidas to continue making the first iteration of the style, but now, almost 7 years after its original drop, we’re treated to adidas Ultraboost 22.

Ultraboost 22 continues the trend that Ultraboost 21 began. 21 saw a renewed focus on performance, altering the image that the adidas Ultraboost is just a wildly comfortable lifestyle sneaker. Now, with a bulkier sole unit, raised heel, and lighter upper, the Ultraboost is a fully fledged crossover.

Tapping into an online anatomy database of 1.2 million foot scans, the Ultraboost 22 was refined and re-engineered to create a 360-degree improvement on fit to meet the demands of runners. An all-new upper and LEP torsion system combine with the BOOST midsole for optimal energy return, 4 percent more than the Ultraboost 21.

To lay the track for the shoe that will undoubtedly be our go-to throughout 2022, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite colorways of the style.

Legacy Purple might be our favorite colorway of the Ultraboost 22. Its dusty hue is understated, but the tonal colorway ensures that it has a big impact.
