Chinese New Year-Inspired Shoes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The adidas Ultraboost 20 is Accented with an Illustrated Heel

— December 30, 2019 — Fashion
A new adidas Ultraboost 20 was made available to sneakerheads on December 26th, at a retail price of approximately $200 USD. The silhouette is ultra-stylish and it references the Chinese New Year, which has been an occasion that a lot of footwear brands have begun taking inspiration from.

The latest adidas Ultraboost 20 comes in a black colorway with a chic accent in the heel. The illustration is placed on neoprene – it presents a “large crane in blue, red, and white,” offering a subtly artistic accent and drawing the eye. The upper is Primeknit which assures that it is quite breathable, while the midsole offers a high degree of support to guarantee optimal comfort.
