For many sneakerheads, it was the adidas Ultraboost that sparked their obsession with footwear. While Kanye West helped the silhouette rise to the top of the agenda when he wore a triple white pair during the Billboard Music Awards in 2015, collaborations with popular brands and sneaker boutiques since then have helped sustain the hype.
But given the fact that Ultraboost collaborations often sell out in the blink of an eye and resale prices explode after the fact, there are a lot of less-hyped Ultraboost iterations that deserve a spot in your rotation. That’s why we’ve compiled our own list of the best Ultraboost silhouettes still available to shop at their retail price right now.
Peep our selection of Ultraboost sneakers below.

The adidas Ultraboost 21 ushered in a new era for the silhouette. Taking a much more performance-focused direction, it's a classic reworked. A chunky heel unit provides improved support for runners while extended perforation to the toebox and sidewall ensures you're cool from start to finish.
