What makes the adidas UltraBoost 22 so special?
Php 9,000 for a shoe is not cheap, but adidas did put on the work to make sure that the technology behind the shoe justified its price. Tapping into women-specific insights and using an online anatomy database of 1.2 million foot scans, conducted and analyzed by footwear and technology researchers Jura, Žabkar & Džerosk (2019). From that, Adidas design team identified key differences across instep height, heel anatomy and females’ gait cycle trends and re-engineered and refined the Ultraboost last to better reflect the female foot.
“We created the adidas Ultraboost 22, by taking a more holistic approach to the way we design our running shoes. The Ultraboost 22 is crafted with the goal of supporting our female running community by providing them with a shoe that delivers ultimate expression of comfort and responsiveness,” adidas Running Senior Product Manager Nora Wilimzig said.
Key features of the UltraBoost 22 include:
- A new upper and Linear Energy Push (LEP) Torsion system combined with the iconic BOOST midsole to deliver superior energy return–4% more than the Ultraboost 21 for women.
- A newly-designed outsole for a more responsive ride.
- An updated PrimeKnit+ system that has forged zones made with yarn containing 50% Parley Ocean Plastic, providing an adaptive fit.
- 360° fit improvement based on the female anatomy that reflects a narrower heel, a lower instep and keeps the unique S-curve heel that works in harmony with the heel counter to let the Achilles tendon move freely.
