Adidas Ultra Boost 19 Review – For Lifestyle Wear or Performance Running?

The Adidas Ultra Boost 19 was globally released to the market on February 21, 2019. During its unveiling, it had the marketing pitch of “Shoes with endless energy for long city runs.” It was a collaborative effort of Adidas designers, developers, and runners all over the globe to come up with the best performance running shoes. So now the question is, is it really for performance running of for lifestyle wear? Let’s find out.

History of the Boost Technology

The first time the Adidas Boost shoes came out, a lot of people thought it was made from styrofoam. Unbeknownst to many people, the idea of the Boost was inspired by the styrofoam material. The Adidas research team wanted to incorporate the material’s features and come up with an innovative shoe. The idea was a success and Adidas has invented the game-changing running shoes that’s more flexible, elastic, and has greater compression.

The footwear technology that uses hundreds of white “energy capsules” was a hit among runners for its superior performance and top-notch cushioning capability. It set a new standard for how running shoes should be created. Its popularity, however, did not extend outside of the running community.

Over the years, the Adidas Boost line of shoes has undergone many changes and upgrades. With its latest sleek designs, funky color schemes, and comfort technology, it has slowly caught the attention of sneakerheads around the world.

What’s New with Adidas Ultra Boost 19  

The latest model is the Adidas Ultra Boost 19 which took three years in the making. The research and development team of Adidas wanted to step up the game further and come up with another benchmark for performance running shoes.

The Adidas Ultra Boost 19 boasts of 20% more Boost power than its predecessors. Among the few upgrades that were done to this model, it was this feature that took a lot of time and effort developing. It is this feature that makes the Ultra Boost 19 powerful and distinct. Its highly optimized Boost midsole and redesigned Torsion Spring, makes the shoe more responsive and gives the runner more energy return, and best-running performance finish. Even with the Boost upgrade, the shoe still retains its original super-lightweight structure.

Another remarkable feature of the Ultra Boost 19 is the Adidas Primeknit 360 on the shoes’ upper part. It makes the shoes breathable, stretchy, snug fit, and gives you the feeling that you are just wearing socks. Lace cage is also incorporated to maintain the foot position during performance.  Other added features are the 3D Heel Frame and the Strechweb outsole.

Aside from the technology, the Adidas Ultra Boost 19 also has an eye-candy design and color schemes that will not only appeal to athletes, but to sneakerheads and shoe collectors as well.

Adidas Ultra Boost 19 – Lifestyle Wear or Performance Running

Given its innovative boost that is meant to give the runner the best running experience, several reviews, however, have mixed feelings about this. With Adidas’ attempt to create the best running shoes by providing more boost to the already superior boost technology of its predecessors, it has however drawn mixed reviews.

Some reviews consider the Ultra Boost 19 as the ideal running shoes because of the stability, support, and comfort it gives especially when running long distance. Some reviews, however, indicated that it failed to incorporate the best running performance features of its predecessors, making it still short of being the best running shoes.

Though many dispute the tagline as the “best running shoes”, overall, the Ultra Boost 19 still leans on being more of performance running than a lifestyle-wear-kind-of-shoes. It is also a good buy given its friendly retail price. The most evident downside of the Ultra Boost 19 is the sizing as they are a bit longer. You would have to fit it personally to be able to get your correct size.
