adidas introduces a new set of colorways to join its roster, detailing the UltraBOOST 1.0 sneaker model with themes that highlight collegiate concepts. The brand spotlights 11 universities and gives each one a new UltraBOOST colorway palette, making it the silhouette of choice.

The themed hues nod to the schools including “Miami,” “Indiana,” “Mississippi State,” “Georgia Tech,” “Arizona State,” “Texas A&M,” “NC State,” “Louisville,” “Washington,” “Kansas” and “Nebrasksa.” The capsule takes the signature silhouette and details the shoe with themed webbing stripes that can be seen in the form of the Three Stirpes and the tonal palette of each respective university. In addition to this, the shoe has the notable Primeknit material and a suede mudguard that has numbers on the lateral side in reference to the founding year.
