• A redesigned Linear Energy Point (LEP) found on the sole of the shoe, reworked to optimise responsiveness and working 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 new Ultraboost Light launches in a white colourway, featuring solar red and core black detailing, and is now available from adidas concept stores countrywide, online at adidas.co.za and on the adidas app.
