Adidas Boost technology is a product of the adidas Innovation Team (AIT) and German chemists BASF. It was created to bring together the formerly contradictory benefits of soft and responsive cushioning. At the time, EVA foam was the industry standard for performance running shoes. Boost was about to change all that, introducing a midsole made from thousands of expanded particles that work together to deliver an uptick of energy return in every stride.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF BOOST?
Boost has always been known for its energy return, but there are actually five Boost benefits that elevate the running experience. Let’s start with comfort: the cushioning properties of Boost make it feel like you’re running on tiny, precision-engineered clouds. Boost is also designed to cope with a wide range of temperatures, making it the kind of running shoe that can pound through wind, snow, sun, rain—whatever—with no issues.

The third and fourth benefits of Boost are durability and flexibility. Boost is a technology that can hold up for mile after mile without any loss of performance. At the same time, Boost is flexible enough to provide a silky smooth ride—no matter what pace you’re setting.

But we can’t talk about Boost without talking about energy return—the fifth and most famous benefit of Boost. The power to absorb and return more of an athlete’s kinetic output is what changed the performance shoe industry forever. There have been many imitators, but Boost remains the icon of energy return.

ULTRABOOST 19 SHOES

Ultraboost 19 took the 17 components of Ultraboost and refined them down to just four: an Optimized Boost midsole, Primeknit 360 upper, Tuned Torsion Spring, and 3D Heel Frame. Each component was finely tuned to maximize the performance output of the shoe for a runner

Running reinvented. These high-performance running shoes deliver unrivaled comfort and energy return. The lightweight and propulsive shoes have a seamless knit upper that’s engineered with motion weave technology to provide stretch while also holding your foot in place as you run. The second-skin fit follows the shape of your foot to reduce pressure points.
