Ben Herath and the adidas UltraBOOST
Almost everything on this page comes from a single line: the adidas UltraBOOST. At adidas we attribute more than two thousand variants to the name Ben Herath, spread across the successive generations and a number of separate sub-lines. The UltraBOOST debuted in 2015 as a running shoe and has since been worn just as often outside of sport. Below the models are grouped together, with for each version the prices, sizes and availability from multiple online stores side by side.
What you'll find here
The construction has remained the same across each generation: a midsole of compressed plastic pellets, a knitted upper without seams and a plastic cage around the midfoot that keeps the fit in place. What changes between versions is mainly the density of the sole and the construction of that knit. That explains why so many variants exist side by side: the distinction is in color and material, not in the construction. Older versions therefore remain readily available.
The main branches are the UltraBOOST 5, the older UltraBOOST 19 and the UltraBOOST X. In addition, part of the Stella McCartney line falls under this name, with its own color palette and a narrower last. If you're looking for a specific generation, you can filter below by size, color and target audience and immediately see what the affiliated webshops are asking.
