Differentiating today’s version from the 2015 pair is the sole unit, as this new offering sports the brand’s signature 4D construction that’s made using light, oxygen, and resin, and features a different kind of weave as opposed to the dense-looking structure of a 3D sole unit.Įlsewhere, we find a much brighter white Primeknit upper that’s similar to that of the UltraBOOST 1.0, while Three Stripes have been added into the weave using a yellow-white tone that’s reminiscent of its 4D sole unit. Comprised of a “Crystal White/Chalk White/Core Black” colorway, this “Cream” pair features similar hues to one of the first 3D-printed sneakers to drop from adidas.
