FAQs
What makes the Ultraboost 21 'Tokyo' different from previous models?
The Ultraboost 21 'Tokyo' features 6% more Boost capsules in the midsole for enhanced energy return and cushioning. It also incorporates an updated Torsion System for improved stability and a Primeknit upper made with Primeblue, a recycled material.
Is the Primeknit upper waterproof?
The Primeknit upper is breathable and water-resistant to some degree, but it is not fully waterproof. It is designed to wick away moisture and provide ventilation.
Can I wear these shoes for activities other than running?
Yes, the excellent cushioning and comfort make the Ultraboost 21 suitable for walking, gym workouts, and general everyday wear.
How durable is the Boost midsole?
The Boost midsole is known for its exceptional durability and resistance to temperature changes, maintaining its cushioning properties over many miles.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the adidas sizing chart for accurate measurements. The Ultraboost 21 offers a snug, performance fit. If you prefer more room, consider sizing up half a size.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Primeknit upper offers some flexibility, but the overall fit is designed to be snug. Users with wider feet may find them tight and should consider trying them on or ordering a half-size up.
What is Primeblue?
Primeblue is an innovative material made partly with Parley Ocean Plastic. It's a high-performance recycled yarn that helps reduce plastic waste in the oceans.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or restrictive.
The Primeknit upper is designed for a snug fit. Try wearing thinner socks or loosening the laces. If the issue persists after a break-in period, consider alternative lacing techniques or if the sizing is appropriate for your foot width.
Midsole feels less responsive over time.
Ensure the shoes are clean, particularly the outsole, as debris can affect performance. While Boost technology is durable, prolonged heavy use will naturally lead to some decrease in cushioning. Proper care and avoiding extreme conditions can help maintain performance.
Primeknit upper shows signs of wear or pilling.
Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces. If minor pilling occurs, it can sometimes be gently addressed with a fabric shaver. Ensure proper cleaning techniques are used to avoid damaging the material.
Poor grip on wet surfaces.
While the Continental™ rubber outsole offers excellent grip, extremely slick conditions can still pose a challenge. Ensure the outsole is free of debris that might compromise traction.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently clean the Primeknit upper with a soft brush and a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Cleaning the Midsole: Use a damp cloth to wipe down the Boost midsole. For tougher stains, a magic eraser can be used with caution.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Remove dirt and debris from the Continental™ rubber outsole with a brush.
- Washing: It is generally recommended to hand wash these trainers. If machine washing is necessary, use a gentle cycle with cold water and place the shoes in a mesh laundry bag. Remove insoles and laces before washing.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
