After months of leaks and waiting around, adidas has finally officially revealed the new adidas Ultra Boost 20. While a partnership with the ISS National Space Lab highlights the debut, the new silhouette looks to have a great upcoming year. 

While this year we saw the roll-out of the Ultra Boost 19, adidas switched things up when it came to the Ultra Boost and gave fans a nice new taste of a new look that all were wanting. Now it looks like an annual change, a new look plus updated tech to the silhouette that strives to keep the UB at the top of its game yearly.

The new silhouette is the result of relentless stress testing in the lab, countless hours of research, and feedback from thousands of runners; the ultimate combination of comfort and responsiveness, designed to give runners the confidence to go beyond.

adidas Ultraboost 20’s new and advanced Primeknit upper features Tailored Fiber Placement (TFP) technology. The innovative technique lays down fibers to the millimeter, resulting in a high-performance, lightweight upper which is precisely stitched and constructed. From take-off to landing, runners can initiate control with a shoe that exactly calibrates foot support to fully unleash the explosive energy of boost. Meanwhile, the Boost midsole captures the energy in every stride and returns it at toe-off to propel runners forward, allowing them to take their run to the next level with out-of-this-world energy return. At the same time, the 3D Heel Frame – a stripped-back design which cradles the heel and locks it firmly in place – brings the perfect mix of adaptability and support. The adidas Ultraboost 20 features: 

  • Primeknit with TFP – An evolutionary upgrade to adidas Ultraboost 19 , the Primeknit now features data-driven Tailored Fibre Placement technology, which lays down fibres to the millimeter to create an upper that delivers calibrated support and a flexible fit for each runner’s foot
  • Optimized Boost – the adidas Boost midsole captures the energy in every stride and returns it at toe-off to propel the runner forward, offering high energy return every step of the way
  • Stretchweb – The Stretchweb outsole works in harmony with the Boost midsole while Continental rubber gives maximum traction on all surfaces
  • Torsion Spring – A lightweight construction for enhanced support on landing and a snappy transition to propel runners forward

Beyond integrating aerospace grade technology with the adidas  Ultraboost 20 and as part of the ground-breaking long-term partnership, adidas will send Boost technology on a mission up to the ISS. In space, the scientists will study the Boost molding process without the distraction of Earth’s gravity, so adidas can unlock the future of boost. The objective is to leverage the findings at scale in Boost midsoles of the future. Adorned with an ISS U.S. National Laboratory space patch, the adidas Ultraboost 20 pays homage to this upcoming mission and as a symbol of the partners commitment to innovate.
