@@smagic614 it's amazing how they don't just hire a shoe review which is familiar with the pros and cons of hundreds of models, both inside and outside of the brand.
interesting... but why do you call ultraboost 5x necessarily recovery? like it's supposed to be daily wear? I've seen pro athletes wear them in gym sessions.
Nice introduction to the new ultraboost family, i hope this one isnt as tight as the ultraboost light. also tthe more i watch running warehouse, Connor looks more like Grant Fisher
Lighter Boost is called PWRRUN PB/HG... Saucony took over the beaded TPU tech (Adidas too stubborn to change from the OG UBs). Stick with Lightstrike pro - nothing beats that... yet.
Boost at under 10 oz. is good. They could still probably drop more weight because it still has a lot of big overlays. I had the original Energy Boost back in 2013 (?) and the shoe was a game changer back then. It felt so bouncy and really set off this arms race of high tech foams that we have all benefitted from.
Adidas went from having 2 good speed shoes in takumi sen and adios pro 3 to so many models I cannot keep track. How does this compare to supernova prima ?
Ultraboost decline in quality in the last 2 iterations, complaints in falling apart, and by todays standard its not the softest anymore. The first 2 generations were beautiful classic designed shoes, with comfort in mind, that's why I still love mine and cherish them for 8 years now 2nd generation triple white. If Adidas can retain these properties in the newest generation, and improve the build quality I'm in! If Adidas can, they can go toe to toe with Asics and their Nimbus shoes and Nike invincible 3. if they can keep the design aesthetics close to the ultra boost DNA you have a shoe not only for runners but for fashion, workers and all sorts of applications beyond just performance. That should be the focus! Comfort, recovery runs, aesthetics, and the ultra boost DNA. Keep the performance for other shoe models. I love wear ultra boosts when travelling, they are in my opinion more elevated than the run of the mill utilitarian running shoe. You want to wear any shoe in this category which is comfortable to wear to go about through airports but also when you enter the business lounge you don't look like a halfwit who arrived at the airport straight after his run, as some people look like that. Which means I would wear these ultra boosts as a travel shoe first! And when I have to pack light for a short haul business trip I can use them for a run and be okay instead of packing another pair just for running. As for the running aspect, I'm not familiar with the Adidas running shoes, I went Asics because they had the Nimbus and that became my recovery run shoes, the Superblast is my everyday shoe, and have the meta speed sky carbon shoes for races and speed works. If I had to jump onto Nike I would go for the invincible 3 for recovery and long run shoe, vapor fly 3 for speed and alpha fly for race. Adidas can use the ultra boost for running but with traditionally a large array of colour ways it's also good for fashion and urban wear. Good for people in the service industry having to stand on their feet for hours on end. But ultra boosts are not running shoes. Especially in 2024 they aren't. More boost wasn't improving the shoe nor did it improve its cushioned properties. If they increase its stack it will be running focused, but I advice to be more relaxed, do the extra foam but not in the ugly way Adidas did with the lat few ultra boost models. Not all people are heel strikers and you do want foam under your front foot for that bounce. Basically the last ultra boost sucks! they were ugly, and all the foam in the back wasn't the answer.
JT is doing massive work, basically single-handedly reinventing Adidas Running line. Big kudos to this man!

Finally! Adidas has legit max cushion/recovery shoes in the lineup.
Adidas lineup:
- Daily trainer, AdiZero SL2/Supernova Rise 2
- Max cushion/recovery, UltraBoost 5X
- Speed workout, Takumi Sen/Adios
- Long run/super trainer, Prime X2/Boston 12
- Race, Adios Pro 3
I wish Prime X was a bit more affordable. I love all the other Adidas models. Boston 12 is a bit too stiff for me.
Yup waste of money...jus giving thr sneakers Industry all ur money lol
I just need to add Ultraboost 5x to complete this lineup😊

Great to see the Adidas Boost back in a new better formula.. Saucony I thought was the one that perfected Boost for running with their PWRRUN foam.
Ultraboost under 10oz with something under the forefoot? Intriguing
Nice introduction to the new ultraboost family, i hope this one isnt as tight as the ultraboost light. also tthe more i watch running warehouse, Connor looks more like Grant Fisher
yeah, the last one that was wide foot friendly was the 20
I tried it at the Adidas store earlier today and said, "Yes, this is feeling like running shoes again." It was super comfortable.
So much Love for JT and the Adidas team for Everything they have accomplished and for all the hard work helping the planet and people... Thank you!

midsole looks like PWRRUN+ from Saucony... which is also beaded TPU, CMIIW. Not that I'm criticizing. PWRRUN+ is a great midsole.
Boost again, it seems to me , another casual ultraBoost shoe!
Hopefully the Solar Glide line will also make a return !
I was waiting and would be super satisfied with the SolarGlide 7 coming with Boost Light .
If boost 5 X tries to enter serious runners rotation then why insists with a 10 mm drop...?
Hoping for black and blue colourway. That looks good for casual as well😍 Plus MOOORE Boost!
Yep ,good to see boost in 2024 , cool ,ADIDAS 🎉🎉🎉❤
Tried both the 5 & 5x. 5x is a tad more bouncy & more comfy for me. went TTS & i have wide feet
What's the stack and drop?
What's the difference between UB 5 and UB 5X?)
No wide size!
The first ultra boost that doesn't look like it has 2x more foam in the heel than in the forefoot. I hope the heel to toe drop isn't over 8mm.
It's 10mm
@@adnan7698 what a waste. It's clearly still a walking shoe.
But Peg 41 and many other daily trainers are also 10mm??
@@dwb345 "many other" daily trainers are also 8mm, 6mm, or even less.
lmao, do people who complain about 10mm drop really run for real? 😅 @@yeetiesandwheaties
Looks compelling, I will have to try these out.
Looks ver good, must order one
They saw the Nimubs success and tried to deliver.
ultraboost 10x gonna have a 12-storey high boost bottom
For perfect cush i stay with fresh foam.
But it looks nice 👍
Fantastic! I like it!
Company will only throw in some changes when sale start to dip
i need a new version of the Pulseboost HD.
Boost is life...🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Looks promising
I'm excited!!!

This guy should be reading books for Audible not working for Adidas. Such a soothing voice
The more i watch running warehouse, Connor looks more like Grant Fisher
Thanks Connor. Like from 🇪🇸 Spain. Have a good day.
Can you get this in a 15 wide?
I’ve owned every generation of UB, great casual shoe but they are a poor at best running shoe.
Cool
Ultraboost line has been losing its popularity lately.
ultraboost been ass since 2020, 2019 was their last great one they better fire all design teams and come up with something thats not a dead brick
No stats. No running shoe.
Per Adidas website, 38/28 @ 9.7 oz. (M9)
Why are the men's version pink... pass

I've ran sub 3hrs marathon with ultra boost 2 ... if you don't think they are running shoes, you are mistaken.
I'm not excited.
