Utilizing various tones of blue, gray and black, the Primeknit upper carries unique geometry that is sure to stand out. To complement the blend of colors, a black midsole is combined with a brown Continental outsole. Lacing alternatives in neon shades of green and orange are offered alongside the default gray.The release is set for June 11 via adidas and specialty skate shops at a retail price of $180 USD.In case you missed it, the coveted adidas UltraBOOST 1.0 “Cream” is being reissued again.Click here to view full gallery at HYPEBEAST
