adidas continues to launch more Marvel-themed sneaker models with the latest being the UltraBOOST 5.0 DNA sneaker model that is done to celebrate Marvel's Black Panther. It is marked with classic detailing starting off with a black Primeknit build over the upper.
The shoe is then detailed with light accents to create a snug fit over the foot as the cage is accented with Three Stripes branding in an all-black look for a stealthy design. Additional details include the touches of black and silver graphics to nod to the overarching theme. By the forefoot, the mudguard has a black geometric pattern that is outlined by white reflective lines. Rounding out the shoe is the "WAKANDA FOREVER" along the laces and the full-length BOOST midsole.
