Product Information
Full details
The adidas Ultra Boost 1.0 DNA Trainers in Black/Green are designed for adult males seeking a versatile shoe that blends performance running capabilities with everyday lifestyle wear. The key benefit is the unparalleled comfort and energy return from the Boost sole, combined with a design partially made from recycled Parley Ocean Plastic. A potential caveat is that while versatile, the specific design might be more performance-oriented than a casual-only shoe.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Primeknit upper offers a degree of flexibility and adaptability. While not specifically designed for wide feet, many users with slightly wider feet find them comfortable due to the material's stretch. However, for very wide feet, trying them on or considering a half-size up might be beneficial.
How does the Boost technology feel compared to other cushioning?
Boost technology is known for its unique combination of soft cushioning and high energy return. Unlike traditional EVA foam, Boost retains its cushioning properties in extreme temperatures and offers a more responsive feel, making the shoe feel 'bouncy' rather than just soft.
What does '1.0 DNA' signify in the product name?
'DNA' in adidas product lines often indicates a reimagined or updated version of a classic silhouette. The Ultra Boost 1.0 DNA takes the original Ultra Boost 1.0 design and updates it with contemporary materials and aesthetic touches, like the specific dual-chromatic details.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The Primeknit upper is not waterproof and can absorb moisture. While suitable for light rain or splashes, they are not designed for heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions. Consider water-repellent sprays for added protection, but note they may alter the shoe's appearance or breathability.
How often should I clean my trainers?
Cleaning frequency depends on usage. For daily wear, a light wipe-down every few weeks is usually sufficient. If used for running or in dusty conditions, clean them after each use or as needed to maintain their appearance and material integrity.
What is the main difference between Ultra Boost 1.0 and Ultra Boost 1.0 DNA?
The 'DNA' designation typically means it's a lifestyle-focused interpretation of the original running shoe. While both share the core Boost technology and Primeknit upper, the DNA versions might feature slightly different material compositions, aesthetic details, or fit priorities compared to the original performance-oriented models.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
The Primeknit upper is designed to stretch slightly with wear. Try wearing them with thicker socks initially or for shorter periods to help them mold to your foot. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.
Squeaking sound during walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the sole and the insole, or moisture. Ensure the insoles are properly seated. If the issue persists, try adding a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.
Bottom of Boost sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
The Boost material can be less grippy on very smooth or wet surfaces compared to traditional rubber outsoles. Ensure the outsole is clean. For increased grip, consider after-market traction sprays designed for athletic shoes.
Visible wear on the Boost capsules
Some surface wear on the Boost capsules is normal with regular use, especially if used for running. This is primarily cosmetic and does not significantly impact performance unless the capsules are significantly deformed or broken.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the Primeknit upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to clean the Boost midsole and rubber outsole. For stubborn dirt, a mixture of water and baking soda can be used sparingly.
- Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. They can be hand-washed with soap and water.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Washing Machine: While not recommended, 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 first. Always air dry afterward.
