Adidas Ultraboost Light
The best running-to-casual crossover — Light BOOST midsole runs great and looks even better off the track.
Our Review
The Adidas Ultraboost Light is the lightest Ultraboost ever, using 30% less material in the midsole without sacrificing the signature Boost energy return. The result is a shoe that's genuinely good for running — responsive, cushioned, and smooth — while also being one of the most stylish sneakers you can wear with jeans. The Primeknit+ upper is soft and seamless, and Continental rubber on the outsole grips in any weather. It's the rare shoe that excels on the run and on the street.
