The German giant adidas worked on the « Safari » theme to design a pack based on the Ultra Boost silhouette. The latter is celebrating its 5th anniversary this year and this « Animal Pack » is composed of 5 different iterations…maybe a nod. Recently seen on the collaboration with the Japanese brand Atmos (various articles available on this site), the animal prints appear here in a distinct way on each version.
The 5 pairs are composed of an upper in Primeknit in solid color, black or white. The reference « Safari » appears on the laces cage and the heel counter. Both are made of textured synthetic leather or faux fur, depending on the animal represented. On the black pairs, we find the Black Python, Leopard and Zebra prints, and on the white shoes, the Crocodile and Python motif. Only the iterations symbolizing furry animals (Leopard and Zebra) are adorned with colorful branding and a matching pattern on the tongue label. An inner lining in the color of the vamp and black or white laces with sometimes brightly colored aglets, complete the design. All 5 versions are based on the legendary white Boost sole combined with a black Continental rubber outsole.
The adidas Ultra Boost « Animal Pack » will be available on December 8, 2020 at selected retailers and on adidas.com for a suggested retail price of 180€ per colorway.
