Stella McCartney Puts a Puffy Cage On the adidas UltraBOOST 22

Stella McCartney has been working with adidas since 2005, well before 'athleisure' was a buzzword and high-fashion brands regularly made sportswear a part of their seasonal offerings. Now it's 2022, so the German brand and the British fashion designer have been bridging the gap between the gym and the runways for almost two decades – and their latest effort is a beefed-up take on the UltraBOOST 22.

McCartney's UltraBOOST 22 features a Primeknit upper with a high-cut sock collar – a signature McCartney detail that's also graced models like her AlphaEDGE 4D and UltraBOOST X – plus a puffy 'cage' that wraps around the toebox, midfoot and heel while also serving as an anchor point for the laces. Two colour options are available: one that offers high-gloss orange and black accents with white branding, the other that opts for an all-white assemblage with touches of black branding. Both looks are completed by unaltered UltraBOOST heel clips and beefy BOOST midsoles with an enlarged heel.

Expect the Stella McCartney x adidas UltraBOOST 22s to release in Australia on January 14, then receive a global release in the coming weeks. The MSRP for each pair is set at $380.
