The Adidas Ultraboost Parley is a special and limited edition Running shoes, launched by the German brand in collaboration with Parley Ocean Plastics. This model has as a great point in favor that surge from the firm commitment to respect the environment, and its manufacture is made from recycled plastic from the oceans. As the German company points out, each model in the Parley collection is made from at least 11 recycled bottles, including both the Primeknit material and the laces. All except for the sole.
In this sense, one of the purposes of the brand of the three stripes is that in 2020 all its sports footwear models are made from recycled plastics from the oceans. Undoubtedly, another of the most striking points of the Adidas UltraBoost Parley is its range of colors, which combine perfectly in a clear nod to the Ocean. This feature also positions the adidas Ultraboost Parley as an elegant and comfortable sneaker model for casual wear.
Thus, the Parley version of the Adidas Ultraboost already has a large following of neutral footstep runners.
The upper unit of the Adidas Ultraboost Parley has been made using Primeknit fabric as its main material. This is a breathable material that wraps the foot securely and non-irritatingly. The yarn used in the construction of these shoes was manufactured by Parley Ocean Plastics from waste that was removed from beaches and homes in coastal areas before it reached the oceans.
Stitched overlays have been added on both sides of the model. These overlays are connected to the lacing system and help the runner to customize the fit of the upper according to their tastes and preferences.
One detail to note about the Adidas Ultraboost Parley is its floating arch. Basically this feature separates the mid-section of the upper unit from the mid-section of the outsole, allowing the fabrics to wrap around the arch of the foot. In the heel area an external cap has been placed to offer support and stability, while keeping the rear of the shoe where it belongs. In addition, this part of the shoe also has a kind of pull tab, like a practical strap, which makes it easy to put it on and take it off.
The midsole is manufactured using Boost technology. As is well known, this is a full-length unit that is made by compacting miles small cushioning pads. Its great virtue is that it is able to support the foot in a responsive way, and as a result you get more springy and cushioned transitions in every workout.
The sole unit of the Adidas Ultraboost Parley also implements Continental rubber, a brand specialized in tires. The material used in this shoe allows for a longer lifespan of the shoe, while adding more efficiency in providing stability, traction and grip.
The Stretchweb design allows the platform to flex and move with the natural movement of the runner's foot.
For the sake of comparison, the adidas Ultraboost Parley looks virtually the same as the original version of the iconic Ultraboost, but adds the eco-friendly component of being made from recycled plastic materials.
The adidas Ultraboost Parley's floating arch is designed so that the upper fabric wraps around the entire foot, resulting in a firm and secure fit.
Of course, the full Boost unit in the midsole is tasked with the shoe being able to cushion and protect the foot in the landing phase of the stride cycle. Of course, the key to the success of the adidas Ultraboost that has made it abest-selling model in the running segment.
All in all, to talk about the adidas Ultraboost Parley is to talk about a running shoe for running on asphalt, but with the versatility and elegance that comes from using it as a sneaker option, and oriented to a neutral footed runner profile. The Ultraboost Parley has a 10 mmdrop (heel: 29 mm / forefoot: 19 mm) and weighs approximately 304 grams (size 42 2).
