adidas introduces the new Medal Pack comprised of the label's signature UltraBOOST sneaker silhouette -- the drop is the latest series added to the UNVAULTED capsule by Foot Locker and Champs Sports. The iconic footwear model comes in three new colorway options that are representative of the pack's name. It takes on tonal cues that recall metallic medals whilst still retaining the model's original design.
The spotlight hits the heel area, where there are three different colors of either gold, silver, or bronze on top of the signature BOOST sole unit. The uppers are complete in Primeknit materials that lock together in different tones respective to the heel color. There are also details over the tongue and heel that round out the entire metallic theme.
