During this End of Year sale, adidas Ultraboost 5X running shoes are currently marked down up to 35% off. The popular shoe style is the latest addition to the Ultraboost line that’s been praised by all types of runners — even in Footwear News’ very own Ultraboost 5x shoe testing review — for its lightweight feel and supportive midsole that is engineered for maximum energy return in each stride. However, the word is out on this epic shoe deal, so sizes and specific colorways are selling out fast.
Last summer, adidas debuted its lightest Ultraboost sneaker yet, the Ultraboost 5X, which weighs in at 34 grams less than its predecessor, the Ultraboost Light. The 5X also boasts an upgrade to the signature midsole technology, with 9mm of additional foam and a 2 percent increase in energy return at the forefoot.
Lest these micro adjustments in adidas’ quest to perfect the running shoe sound overall insignificant, when our editor tested out a men’s pair of the Ultraboost 5X, he found them even more comfortable and responsive than previous launches in the line with noticeable energy return. The molded external heel provided support and gait correction, while the PRIMEKNIT upper material and sock-style design expertly stretched and molded to his foot.
Since the Ultraboost 5X’s release, the best adidas running shoe style only went on sale for the first time last October. So if you missed out on adidas Black Friday shoe deals or the three-stripe brand’s holiday sale, this is your last chance to scoop up one of the top running sneakers on the market for far less than its regular price.
After all, a pair of new sneakers that gett high marks for functionality with great style may provide just the right motivation for crushing those 2025 fitness goals.
