The UltraBoost 5.0 steps into new territory with the Hermanos Koumori “Olive Strata” collaboration. This update strips back the familiar form and rebuilds it with a tougher, more functional finish—one that trades in sleek lines for raw practicality.
Gone is the original Primeknit upper. In its place, adidas opts for no-sew ripstop fabric, giving the shoe more durability and a rugged edge. High-wear zones now feature protective synthetic taping. Instead of the standard TPU cage, the Three Stripes sit flat against the upper, keeping things clean but secure. A separated tongue and drawstring rope lacing complete the overhaul, offering easy entry and a snug, adjustable fit.
Despite the rebuild, adidas keeps the underfoot experience true to the UltraBoost name. Full-length BOOST cushioning remains in place, delivering soft, responsive comfort mile after mile. A sturdy rubber outsole grips well across pavement or track, ensuring the performance side stays strong.
The colourway leans into outdoor tones, with layered olive and brown accents that match the utilitarian feel. It doesn’t look engineered for flash—it looks built for purpose.
Hermanos Koumori, a brand rooted in Mexican running culture, brings a strong identity to the design. Every detail—from the materials to the stripped-back aesthetic—feels grounded and intentional.
