Product Information

Full details

This guide is for adult runners and sneaker enthusiasts seeking a high-performance shoe with a unique, space-inspired design. The key benefit is the advanced cushioning and responsive control provided by the Boost midsole, inspired by space exploration technology. A potential caveat is that the specialized design may appeal more to collectors than casual wearers. The UltraBoost 20 features a Primeknit bootie for a sock-like fit, a supportive midfoot cage, and a durable rubber outsole.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for all types of running?

The UltraBoost 20 is primarily designed for road running and daily training due to its excellent cushioning and responsive Boost midsole. While they offer good traction, they may not be ideal for technical trail running.

How does the Primeknit upper differ from traditional mesh?

Primeknit is a knitted material that offers a more sock-like, adaptive fit. It's typically more breathable and conforms better to the foot's shape than traditional mesh uppers.

What does the 'ISS US National Lab' collaboration signify?

This collaboration signifies a partnership with NASA's research arm, focusing on testing and developing materials and designs inspired by space exploration technology, particularly the Boost cushioning system.

Can I wear these shoes if I have wide feet?

The Primeknit upper offers a degree of flexibility. While not specifically a wide-fit shoe, many users with slightly wider feet find the adaptive nature of the knit comfortable. It's recommended to try them on if possible.

How do I maintain the iridescent blue color on the midsole?

Clean the midsole gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can affect the finish.

What is the lifespan of the Boost cushioning?

Boost cushioning is known for its durability and resistance to temperature changes. With regular use for running, the cushioning typically remains effective for several hundred miles, though this can vary based on individual gait and running surface.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing to achieve a more personalized fit. The Primeknit upper will also stretch slightly with wear to conform to your foot.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness

Ensure the Boost midsole is clean. Over time, wear and tear can naturally affect cushioning. Check for any damage to the outsole that might be impacting stability.

Traction issues on wet surfaces

Clean the rubber outsole to remove any debris. While designed for grip, extreme wet conditions may still reduce traction. Use caution.

Discoloration of iridescent elements

Iridescent finishes can be sensitive. Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight or abrasive cleaning agents. Clean gently with a damp cloth.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: For the Primeknit and fabric areas, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents.
