Xabi Alonso Unveils adidas’ Limited Edition All Black UltraBOOST

Porsche Design Sport by adidas has launched a limited edition iteration of the iconic PDS UltraBOOST with the help of Spain and Bayern Munich midfielder Xabi Alonso. The shoe  is now available for the first time in a powerful yet sophisticated all black model.

Pairing the functional design of Porsche Design with ground-breaking performance technology from adidas, the aspirational sneaker represents the best in engineered luxury footwear. Offering a sneaker that is both a casual style statement and a performance-orientated running shoe, the limited edition sneaker, which marks the tenth anniversary of the collaboration between premium-lifestyle brand Porsche Design and sports brand adidas, is guaranteed to turn heads this season.

Jacques Chassaing, Senior Design Director Porsche Design Sport by adidas said, “This is an exciting development of adidas’ most celebrated and loved running shoe. After the widespread success of the all white silhouette last April, the natural next step was to engineer an all black iteration for our style-conscious consumer. Thanks to new advances in BOOST design and manufacturing, we were able to engineer this iconic piece in core black while preserving key comfort-enhancing and performance elements as well as our signature aspirational aesthetic.”

Comfort is further enhanced by a delicate, airy spacer-mesh upper and soft, pin-perforated leather for a truly luxurious ride.
