A New Ultra Boost Model by ADIDAS? Check out this never before seen Ultra Boost

There could be a new Ultra Boost in town. Focus has been on the NMDs all summer but all of that could change in the upcoming months. Though the Uncaged model, which was released a few months back, received a great response, looks like ADIDAS are not resting on its laurels and continuously seek to improve on its design. The new Ultra Boost looks like an Uncaged Model, but its not since it has a cage (obviously). The sock like upper and the overlay seems to be able to provide a form fitting wear but if you notice the middle...

How To Lace Your Sneakers / Swap Your Shoe Laces : ADIDAS Ultra Boost Silver Medal

Shoe Laces / Laceswap Recommendations Everyone is shooting for Gold but you have to admit that the Bronze and Silver colorways ain't too bad either. The Silver Medal colorway features a shiny metallic silver heel however, note that while the Gold had a suede-like cage, the Silver and Bronze receives the more common TPU cage. The Silver Medal has more color variations on the upper. Keep the look clean by staying with the all black laces, but add some oomph to the lace tips with some silver bullet tips.

How To Lace Your Sneakers / Swap Your Shoe Laces : ADIDAS Ultra Boost Gold Medal

Shoe Laces / Laceswap Recommendations The closest you will ever get, for most of us, to feel like an Olympic Gold Medalist would be to own this pair of kicks, the ADIDAS Ultra Boost Gold Medal. It's an all black upper, but one notable difference would be the material used for the cage. If you take a closer look, it's almost suede-like, making it softer and more aesthetically pleasing. These also comes in bronze and silver colors. For such a clean pair, you shouldn't mess with the laces except to add a tinge of gold. Click below for our recommended...

New Primeknit Styling for the ADIDAS Ultra Boost 2.0?

New Primeknit Styling for the ADIDAS Ultra Boost 2.0?

Are we going to see a new Ultra Boost 2.0 soon? We have seen Adidas playing around with the model for the Uncaged Series, but the OG silhouette has yet to be further improved on but that seems to have changed. In the picture, we can see that the Primeknit styling has changed. It's thicker which might affect ventilation but it looks sturdier and more compact. The patterns on the Primeknit is almost similar to the ones found on the Pure Boost ZG series. Rest of the model remains unchanged (thank god). The new 2.0s should be released sometime this...

VIDEO : How To Black Out Your ADIDAS Boost Midsoles

Posted by FARHAN ZAINI

MANY Boost sneakers have been released by ADIDAS over the past 2-3 years but a blacked-out Boost midsole is extremely hard to come by. Only recently in the past week did ADIDAS release the Ultra Boost Uncaged with colored midsoles and we can only hope that the positive feedback garnered from that release will spur ADIDAS on to release more colored midsoles, not just black. In any case, if you can't wait, FEATURE TV has released a video tutorial on how to personally black out your Boost midsoles.  The video lists out Step - By - Step instructions on the process....

MOST important thing to take note of when getting shoelaces for your Ultra Boost

MOST important thing to take note of when getting shoelaces for your Ultra Boost

One of the most important thing that most of my customers fail to consider when buying laces for their Ultra Boost is the size of the eyelet. The eyelets are extremely small and narrow, which only allows for lace tips of certain sizes to fit through holes. That is why at Slickieslaces, we have customised Rope and Flat laces that are made to easily fit through these eyelets without the need to force them through.  Check out the collection of BOOST / NMD Laces Slickieslaces have to offer! However, that doesn't mean all is lost. All you need to do is...

SHOE LACES LENGTH GUIDE: How do I determine the length of my ADIDAS Ultra Boost shoelaces?

SHOE LACES LENGTH GUIDE: How do I determine the length of my ADIDAS Ultra Boost shoelaces?

Step 1 Count the number of eyelets. Step 2 3 Pairs of Eyelets - Recommended length is 80cm-90cm 4 Pairs of Eyelets - Recommended length is 95cm-105cm The ADIDAS Ultra Boost Uncaged and NMD series, which comes with 3 pairs of eyelets, require much shorter laces. Especially for the NMDs, which comes at a ridiculously long pair of laces. You should probably change it to shorter ones.  For the original design Ultra Boost (with cage) that comes with 4 pairs of eyelets, I determined that 95cm is the most appropriate length but you can also use up to 105cm for...

Colored Heels are coming to the ADIDAS Ultra Boost

Colored heels ain't new, you see them on the OG Black Ultra Boost with those purple heels but when ADIDAS releases one in a "Triple White" colorway, you really stand up and take notice. In one of my previous articles, you saw how ADIDAS tried to experiment with colored boost soles, now they are planning to test the market with colored heels? Not sure when these will be released, but if they offer customisation options for the UBs, that would be dope!. Check out the collection of BOOST / NMD Laces Slickieslaces have to offer!

ADIDAS is releasing colored Ultra Boosts due to heavy demand

Posted by FARHAN ZAINI

If you have not been hiding in a forest for the past few days, you would have seen pictures floating around the internet of colored Boost soles. In instagram, you could find pictures of avid collectors customising their kicks by painting over the white Boost soles using paint that you can find on the web. However, ADIDAS must have been observing this trend and decided to cash in on it because they are finally debuting their own line of colored boosts. From the picture above, you could see the Ultra Boost Uncaged with colored boosts. Will we see this trend...

Posted by FARHAN ZAINI

If you guys have not been keeping up with the news, let me remind you that as of now, the ADIDAS Ultra Boost Uncaged series have been fucking released!
