adidas Inside Man Gary Aspden Shares His Top 5 Releases of 2016

“It would not be possible to do a top five adidas list for 2016 without including a shoe that uses the BOOST technology and for me these are the best of the bunch. While they are a very pure performance-driven product they have managed to cross over and be adopted as a lifestyle shoe. I always like to see shoes being adopted into something that sits outside of their original purpose — that’s a big part of how my love of sportswear originally began. The UltraBOOSTs are born out of the essence of what adidas is — creating the very best products to enhance athletic performance. BOOST technology has already changed the landscape of athletic footwear in a relatively short space of time. As far as I am concerned, it is by far the best technology in the market and many who have worn it will also attest to that. Performance technology like BOOST does not come along very often — it has most definitely set adidas apart from its competitors. If I had to choose from all the UltraBOOSTs that dropped this year, I would have to go with the triple blacks. I managed to secure one pair on release. which I ended up giving to 3D from Massive Attack who was having difficulty getting hold of some. But I will be on the lookout for another pair of triple blacks when they drop again.” FULL STORY HERE.
