Adidas unveiled its latest running shoe with the Boost technology in early August. It is the new Solar Boost from the sixty-six year old German manufacturer. We usually see the Boost technology with the premium running shoe, the Ultra Boost. Boost technology debuted with the Energy Boost and since then there is no seeing back for Adidas. Adidas made a bold move and added the Boost technology to both Supernova Glide Boost 7 and Supernova Sequence Boost 8. Both the shoes were a huge success. To continue on this, Adidas launched an affordable running shoe with the Boost technology – Solar Boost.

A size 9 Solar Boost weighs 233g. The shoe is light and offers a good fit. Adidas launched the Solar Boost in five exciting colorways. The colors are very exciting and should appeal to everyone for it features both striking and sober colors. For the regulars, there are black and grey colorways. To some heads during a jog, there are Solar Yellow and Blue colorways. This neutral running shoe is ideal for road running.

We see a highly breathable upper that offers tremendous airflow. Net mesh layered over the base mesh provides great ventilation. With this ventilation system, you will never feel sweaty feet during your long runs and workouts. A molded heel counter wraps your heel strategically to offer much needed stability. EVA sock-liner improves the comfort and provides added support. Foot movement will be good with the Solar Boost. A performance lining in shoe also absorbs sweat keeping your feet dry.

For unparalleled lightweight cushioning, Adidas introduced industry standard EVA material in the midsole region. The heel of Solar Boost features the iconic Boost technology. Unlike the Ultra Boost, where the whole midsole has the Boost technology. The TPU pellets in the heel area, which act as pillows offer unmatched energy return. Your heel strikes will be a lot smoother and at the same time, you will experience enhanced gait cycle, thanks to the energy-return properties of ‘Boost’.
