First and foremost salute to HYPEBEAST on 10 years..
Outside of the obvious adidas Yeezy Boost, it is the adidas UltraBOOST that has grasped the attention of many sneaker heads alike. Considering the fact it was the first adidas shoe many spotted Kanye West in, overall the sneakers design and comfort are top of the line.
This year we are going to see the likes of High Snobiety team up with adidas for their own collaboration of the adidas UltraBOOST but for their 10th anniversary, HYPEBEAST looks to remove the cage so to speak and let the “beast” out on their own collaboration.
Simply put, the adidas x HYPEBEAST ’10th Anniversary’ UltraBOOST will see the silhouette stripped of the cage allowing for the Primeknit to roam free.
Below are the official pictures as well as words directly from HYPBEAST in regards to the sneakers designing and release details.
After teasing the release not too long ago, we are now pleased to reveal the full look to our 10th anniversary collaboration with adidas. We chose the innovative UltraBOOST silhouette as our base model yet made subtle changes such as removing the cage, incorporating a Continental outsole and finally, adding a revolutionary NFC chip, which is the first in its kind for a footwear product. As HYPEBEAST is a platform for all people around the world to voice their opinions and share ideas with likeminded individuals, we wanted to represent what the community wanted, and were doing, by removing the cage from the silhouette. To help prevent the general wear and tear on the UltraBOOST tread, adidas implemented a long-lasting Continental outsole in a midsole-matching white color. Rounding things out and what sets this shoe apart, is the NFC chip, which allows users to tap their phones and enter a specially created microsite. For those without an NFC scanning mobile device, the microsite can also be accessed by simply scanning the QR code on the hangtag. There hosts a diverse range of exclusive content that users can enjoy each week when new installments are made available.
The first launch of the UltraBOOST UNCAGED will be released exclusively at HBX.
