Adidas Unveils New Ultraboost Light Running Shoe, SA Price Revealed

Adidas has introduced the next iteration of its much-worn Ultraboost running range, the Ultraboost Light, which is now officially available in South Africa.

Taking into account customer feedback from previous generations of Ultraboost releases, Adidas has introduced a new material into this 2023 model, something that the company is calling ‘Light Boost’.

The Ultraboost Light is reportedly 30% lighter than the ‘traditional’ Boost material, resulting in a performance running shoe designed to offer higher energy return, better cushioning, and a bit sharper responsiveness when hitting the road.

According to Adidas, the all-new Ultraboost Light includes:

• A redesigned Linear Energy Point (LEP) found on the sole of the shoe, reworked to optimise responsiveness and work in harmony with the new Light Boost material.
• PrimeKnit+ upper for an adapted fit that offers the ultimate breathability and comfort.
• Continental natural performance rubber provides optimum traction in all weather conditions.
• A 10% lower carbon footprint compared to previous versions.

The Ultraboost Light launches in a white colourway, featuring solar red and core black detailing, and is now available in South Africa at a recommended price of R3,499.

What’s more, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Boost technology, Adidas has also revealed a special edition version of the Adidas Ultraboost Light with a dedicated colourway. The 10th-anniversary edition comes in a primarily black colourway, with black and yellow detailing — the same design that was found on the first-ever Adidas silhouette with Boost technology, the Energy Boost.
