The sneaker is notable for its "unprecedented close fit. The upper combines a conventional prime-knit upper with a technology called "Tailored Fiber Placement (TFP)," in which fibers are placed millimeter by millimeter, to achieve a fit that is closer to the foot than ever before.

Since the launch of the first "Ultraboost" series, we have consistently pushed the boundaries of running shoe design. The new silhouette combines the iconic Optimized "BOOST" foam with "Primeknit 360 with TFP" and is precisely constructed to provide runners with an unprecedented close fit, generate propulsion with less effort, and deliver unprecedented resilience. The design aesthetic of the new Ultraboost 20 was inspired by our partnership with the ISS U.S. National Laboratory, and we look forward to leveraging this partnership to take BOOST to the next level.

." said Sam Handy, Vice President of adidas Running Design. As part of the partnership, BOOST will also be tested in space through the ISS U.S. National Laboratory in 2020, which may lead to even more innovative ways of constructing the midsole.

Adidas has an image of being ahead of the curve in technological innovation, and through this partnership, the company's technological capabilities will be driven even further. This work, which will be the forerunner of the partnership, is something to keep an eye on.
