Adidas will release the women's running shoe "Ultra Boost by Stella McCartney," a collaboration with designer Stella McCartney, in mid-May.

This is the first in the "Ultra Boost Collective," a capsule collection based on the "Ultra Boost" running shoe, in collaboration with five designers. It combines Stella's signature style with striped patterns on the heel and part of the upper, and see-through on the sides. Available in black, smoke pink, and eggshell, the shoe will be available in select shops in Japan from mid-May.

The "Ultra Boost" midsole provides outstanding cushioning and rebound. Furthermore, the "Stretch Web" outsole expands and contracts with the movement of your foot, promoting a comfortable run.

The collection will also feature a collaboration with Kris Van Assche, creative director of Dior Homme. Models will be released that feature argyle patterns that reflect Kris's unique spirit.

Other designers who will be participating in the collection include Junichi Abe of kolor, Dirk Schönberger, creative director of the adidas Sport Style Division, and James Kearns, creative director of the adidas Sport Performance Style Division.
