London-based streetwear brand Palace has teamed up with adidas to launch a new Fall/Winter running collection, which includes the sustainably designed 'Palace x adidas UltraBOOST 21.'
Previously, these two brands had collaborated on a unique, yoga-inspired collection dubbed 'Palaste.' While that collection focused on relaxed fits and wellness-focused themes, this new collection turned its attention to high-performance runners and eco-friendly designs.
The new collection includes two versions of the UltraBOOST 21, both of which boast an 81% 'Primeblue' upper construction. According to the company, 'Primeblue' is a recyclable yarn material made with a minimum of 50% Parley Ocean Plastic. In addition to the new sneakers, the collection also presents a variety of hats and socks, all delivered in black or white versions with Palace's signature vibrant patterns and motifs.
