Product Information

Full details

This guide is for adult males seeking a versatile trainer that blends performance running technology with a striking lifestyle aesthetic. The key benefit is the exceptional energy return and comfort provided by the Boost sole, combined with a visually appealing design. A minor caveat is that while versatile, the shoe's primary design leans towards performance and casual wear, not highly specialized athletic activities. The Adidas Ultra Boost 1.0 DNA trainers in Black/Green are designed for comfort and energy return, featuring a Primeknit upper, responsive Boost cushioning, and a recycled material construction. Key features include a sock-like fit, a supportive heel counter, and a durable outsole.

FAQs

Are these shoes good for marathon running?

While the Boost cushioning offers excellent energy return and comfort, these trainers are best suited for moderate distances and daily running. For elite marathon performance, specialized marathon shoes might offer more targeted support and features.

What is Parley Ocean Plastic?

Parley Ocean Plastic is a material made from plastic waste collected from beaches and coastal communities. Its use in these shoes reflects Adidas' commitment to reducing environmental impact.

How do I clean the Primeknit upper?

Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Gently wipe the surface, avoiding harsh scrubbing. Allow to air dry.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash or machine dry these trainers. Hand washing with mild soap and air drying is the preferred method to preserve the materials and shape.

What is the main difference between the UltraBoost 1.0 and the UltraBoost 1.0 DNA?

The DNA version often incorporates updated designs or material variations while retaining the core Boost technology and silhouette of the original UltraBoost 1.0.

How durable is the Boost sole?

The Boost sole is known for its durability and long-lasting cushioning. However, like all midsole materials, it will naturally degrade over extended periods of heavy use.

What is the secondary color mentioned (Green)?

The 'Green' refers to accent colors within the design, such as on the three stripes or other subtle detailing, complementing the primary black colorway.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

The Primeknit upper is designed to be snug. Wear them for a short period to allow them to mold to your foot. If still uncomfortable, consider a larger size if available, or loosen the laces.

Yellowing of the Boost midsole

Yellowing can occur over time with exposure to UV light and regular use. This is a cosmetic change and does not affect performance. Clean gently with a mild cleaner and brush to minimize appearance.

Reduced energy return

Ensure the Boost midsole is clean, as debris can impact its responsiveness. Over time, cushioning will naturally decrease, which is normal wear and tear.

Squeaking sound

This can sometimes happen due to friction between the insole and the shoe bed. Try removing and reinserting the insole, or applying a small amount of powder under the insole.
