Chasing new PRs feels easier in the adidas Ultraboost 5X Running Shoe. Built as adidas's lightest BOOST model yet, this shoe delivers continual energy return across the miles, helping runners feel fresh from start to finish whether pushing through a tempo run or logging easy recovery miles.
At the core of the design is LIGHTBOOST midsole foam, a bouncier, lighter evolution of adidas's signature Boost cushioning that helps reduce weight without sacrificing energy return. A Torsion System integrated between the heel and forefoot adds midfoot stability, delivering a smooth, steady stride at any pace. The stretchy Primeknit upper wraps the foot in a snug, adaptive fit with a bootie-style construction, while molded external heel supports help lock in the ultimate fit through faster efforts and longer runs. It all rides on a Continental Rubber outsole, delivering confident traction in both wet and dry conditions so runners can stay locked in no matter the weather.
Finished in a Black/White/Carbon colorway and made with at least 20% recycled materials, the Ultraboost 5X blends performance with sustainability, helping reduce waste and reliance on finite resources with every stride. Whether logging daily miles, training for a half marathon, or just looking for a comfortable everyday trainer with standout style, the adidas Ultraboost 5X offers the lightweight cushioning and stability serious runners are after.
